The Dead Air Blast Shroud with the DA456 Xemax Adapter (Dead Air part no. DA463MAX) is the big-bore shroud kit built around the Xemax mounting system. The shroud diverts flash and concussion forward on short-barreled rifles and pistol-caliber carbines. The Xemax adapter is Dead Air’s beefier version of the Xeno interface, made for the Primal and Nomax 33 silencers. The kit uses 4140 heat-treated steel and 17-4 stainless with a black nitride finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Xeno muzzle devices with this kit? No. Dead Air states that Xeno and Xemax muzzle devices and adapters are not cross-compatible, so a Xemax adapter requires a Xemax muzzle brake.

Which silencers use the Xemax adapter? Dead Air lists the Primal and the Nomax 33 for the Xemax system, and says to consider the caliber and bore limits of the suppressor.

What is the shroud for? It diverts flash and concussion forward of the muzzle, which Dead Air designed for short-barreled rifles and pistol-caliber carbines.
