The Dead Air CT5P 5/8×24 FDE suppressor is the Flat Dark Earth CT5P Patrol with a 5/8×24 direct-thread mount (Dead Air part no. CT5PDTFDE5824). Dead Air optimized it to run with minimal change to bolt velocity on direct impingement and piston gas systems in both 5.56 and 6 ARC. The Compact Triskelion baffle and Gas Management System cut backpressure and the fumes an operator breathes behind a suppressed rifle. Its Haynes 282 body is additively manufactured, which is how Dead Air keeps it to 13.7 ounces while engineering it for full-auto longevity. It is a fit for a tan-finished duty or range rifle threaded 5/8×24.

Key Specifications

• The finish is Flat Dark Earth high-temp Cerakote, and the textured exterior adds surface area to shed heat and cut reflectivity.
• The mount is a 5/8×24 direct thread, so the can screws straight onto a matching barrel or muzzle device.
• The caliber rating is 5.56 NATO and 6mm ARC, the two cartridges Dead Air built the CT5P around.
• The energy rating is 2,200 foot-pounds, the ceiling Dead Air publishes for this can.
• Length in this configuration is 5.49 inches, short enough to keep a duty rifle maneuverable.
• Weight in this configuration is 13.7 ounces, light enough for a rifle carried through a full shift.
• Diameter is 1.6 inches, so confirm clearance under your handguard.
• The body is Haynes 282, a nickel superalloy made with additive manufacturing for heat resistance at low weight.
• Dead Air lists no minimum barrel length restrictions, so short-barreled hosts are covered.
• Dead Air says the CT5P was tested to the SOCOM SURG standard, a benchmark for duty durability.
