Description
Ounces turn into pounds by mile three, and that's exactly the problem Dead Air set out to solve with the Nomad-Ti XC. The XC stands for Cross-Country, and this is the lightest .30 caliber suppressor Dead Air has ever built. The bare can weighs 7.4 ounces, and even with the included Xeno adapter installed you're only at 9.7 ounces hanging off the muzzle. For a mountain rifle or a lightweight hunting build where every ounce matters, that number is hard to beat in a can rated all the way up to .300 RUM with a 4,400 ft-lb energy ceiling.
How the Nomad-Ti XC Earns Its Weight Savings
Dead Air used additive manufacturing to print the core from Grade 5 6Al-4V titanium, which let them refine their patented Nomad baffle design into a two-stage coaxial system with pressure-harnessing structures. In plain terms, the can manages both low-pressure subsonic loads and full-power magnum rounds well, so it sounds better than you'd expect from something this small and light. At 7.03 inches long with the Xeno adapter and 1.76 inches in diameter, it stays compact on the barrel, and the FDE high-temp Cerakote finish blends into a hunting setup nicely. The front cap is replaceable and works with Dead Air's R-Series caps and E-Brakes if you want to tune it later.
Mounting Options That Grow With Your Rifles
This kit ships ready to run two ways. The DA455 Xeno adapter gives you fast, repeatable quick-detach mounting over the included DA124 Omni brake in 5/8×24, which pulls double duty as a solid muzzle brake when the can is off. Because the rear of the suppressor uses the industry-standard HUB pattern, you can also swap to Dead Air's KeyMo or a direct thread mount whenever your setup changes. Bolt guns and semi-autos are both fair game here, with barrel minimums of 12.5 inches for supersonic 5.56 NATO and 6 inches for subsonic .300 BLK. If your hunts involve real hiking, this is the .30 cal can to build around.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Nomad-Ti XC actually weigh on the rifle?
The suppressor body alone is 7.4 ounces, which makes it Dead Air's lightest .30 caliber can. With the included Xeno adapter installed you're at 9.7 ounces total. Either way it adds very little to a lightweight hunting rifle, which is the whole point of the XC design.
What calibers can I run through the Dead Air Nomad-Ti XC?
It has a .30 caliber bore and is rated up to .300 Remington Ultra Mag with a 4,400 ft-lb energy ceiling. That covers popular rounds like 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, .30-06, 5.56 NATO, and .300 BLK. Keep in mind the barrel minimums: 12.5 inches for supersonic 5.56 and 6 inches for subsonic .300 Blackout.
Can I use KeyMo or direct thread mounts instead of the Xeno adapter?
Yes. The rear of the Nomad-Ti XC uses the industry-standard HUB pattern (1.375×24), so you can swap the included Xeno adapter for Dead Air's KeyMo or a direct thread mount. Dead Air does note the mounting system is designed around their own adapters, so stick with Dead Air mounts for the best fit.
Is the Nomad-Ti XC full auto rated?
No, this one is not rated for full auto use. It's purpose-built as a lightweight hunting and precision can for bolt-action and semi-auto rifles. If you plan on high-volume or full auto shooting, a heavier duty suppressor would be the better tool for the job.
