The Dead Air Xeno Omni Brake in 1/2-28 (Dead Air part no. DA123) is an omni-directional muzzle brake for .30-caliber rifles, threaded 1/2-28. Dead Air describes it as a lightweight suppressor mounting option with repeatable return to zero when it is paired with a Xeno Adapter. It is just as usable on its own, as a stand-alone brake on a rifle that spends part of its life unsuppressed. The body is nitrided 4140 steel, chosen for hardness and corrosion resistance.

Key Specifications

• The muzzle thread is 1/2-28, so this version fits barrels cut to that pitch and nothing else.
• The through bore is rated .30 caliber by Dead Air, which sizes the brake for .30-caliber and smaller bullets.
• The body is 4140 heat-treated alloy steel, a hard steel that stands up to the blast of a brake.
• The finish is black nitride, which adds hardness and corrosion resistance to the steel.
• The design is an omni-directional brake that works as a stand-alone muzzle device with no suppressor attached.
• It pairs with Xeno Adapter-equipped suppressors, giving a lightweight mount with repeatable return to zero.
• The brake and the Xeno Adapter mate with left-hand threads, so the adapter will not unthread from the suppressor when you remove it.
• Its short length and lock-up position keep it out of the deep part of the blast chamber, which limits erosion on the baffles.
• Large tooling surfaces stay reachable with the suppressor installed, which helps when a mount needs extra torque.
