The Dead Air DTB Direct Thread Brake Mount, HUB Taper, in 1/2-28 (Dead Air part no. DTB323HT) is a muzzle brake and a direct thread adapter in a single part. As a brake it reduces felt recoil for faster follow-up shots, and it directs gas into the blast chambers of a suppressor to limit focused erosion on the baffles. This is the 1/2-28 version, built with a 9mm bore and weighing 3.06 ounces. Dead Air machines it from 17-4PH stainless steel with a black nitride finish. It suits a shooter who wants one mount that works as a brake on its own and as the suppressor interface when a can goes on.
