The Dead Air Nomad 30 direct thread suppressor is a compact, full-auto rated .30 caliber can built from welded stainless steel (Dead Air part no. NOMAD30). Dead Air designed it for both high and low pressure cartridges, so one suppressor covers everything from range-day mag dumps to precision work. It ships with a 5/8×24 direct thread mount installed, and it can be switched to Key-Mo or Xeno quick-attach systems. The front cap accepts Dead Air R-Series inserts, which lets you tune it to the cartridge you are shooting.

Key Specifications

• The bore is .30 caliber, sized for 7.62mm and .308 class rifles as well as smaller sub-calibers such as 5.56.
• Length is 6.5 inches, compact enough to keep a rifle balanced.
• Outer diameter is 1.735 inches, the figure to check against your handguard clearance.
• Weight is 14.5 ounces, a fair trade for the heat capacity of a stainless body.
• The body and baffles are 17-4 PH stainless steel in fully welded construction, built to take sustained fire.
• The thread mounts and front cap insert are Grade 5 titanium, which keeps the removable parts light.
• The mount is a 5/8×24 direct thread, included and installed, so it fits the most common rifle muzzle thread.
• Quick-attach options are Key-Mo and Xeno compatible, with HUB adapters also supported for other mounting systems.
• The finish is Cerakote, a heat-resistant coating that protects the stainless body.
• It is full-auto rated, so it is built for demanding firing schedules.
