The Dead Air Silencers Sandman 5.56 Front Cap is a Sandman 5.56 front cap from Dead Air Silencers, built for .223/5.56. Dead Air Silencers machines it (Dead Air Silencers part no. DA201) to factory tolerances rather than as a generic aftermarket stand-in. It is a front end cap that closes off the muzzle end of the suppressor, retaining the internal baffle stack and setting the can’s outward profile. A front cap takes the brunt of muzzle blast and baffle strikes over the life of a suppressor, so keeping a factory-spec replacement on hand means minor damage does not sideline the whole can. It is a practical pickup for a range bag or armorer’s bench that needs the correct part on hand before the next build.

Key Specifications

• .223/5.56 is the caliber this front cap’s bore is sized for.
• Nitro-PVC coated is the material this part is machined from, chosen for corrosion resistance and to survive sustained heat cycling at the muzzle.
