Description
The detent ring is one of those parts nobody thinks about until it starts feeling tired. It is the little plate that gives your KeyMo mount that positive, ratcheting lockup when you spin the suppressor onto a muzzle device, and after enough mounting cycles and carbon buildup, keeping a fresh one on hand just makes sense. This is the genuine Dead Air replacement, part number DA012, so you are getting the exact same component the factory installs, not an aftermarket guess.
One Detent Ring, Most of the Dead Air Lineup
Here is the handy part: this single plate covers a lot of ground. It fits all DA428 KeyMo-HUB adapters and DA451 KeyMicro adapters, and it is the same detent plate that ships standard on the entire Sandman series and the Sierra-5 KM. If you run any KeyMo-equipped silencer, this is the part your mount relies on for that secure, repeatable attachment. Folks who own more than one Dead Air can often grab a couple of these and call it good for the whole safe.
Built Like the Rest of Your Dead Air Gear
All-metal construction with a black nitride finish means it holds up to heat, carbon, and solvent the same way the factory part does, because it is the factory part. At a hair over an ounce shipped and roughly 1.3 inches across, it takes up basically zero space in a parts bin or range bag pocket.
Why Keep a Spare Detent Ring Around
Dead Air designed this listing for people who like maintaining their own inventory of moving parts, and that mindset pays off. Suppressor mounts live a hard life under heat and fouling, and small wear items are always the first to go. Swapping in a fresh detent ring restores that crisp factory lockup and keeps your mount indexing the way it should. Cheap insurance for gear you have already invested plenty into.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Dead Air adapters does this detent ring fit?
It fits all DA428 KeyMo-HUB adapters and DA451 KeyMicro adapters. It is also the identical detent plate that comes installed on Sandman series and Sierra-5 KM suppressors, so it works with any KeyMo-equipped silencer in the Dead Air lineup.
Is this the actual factory part or an aftermarket version?
This is the genuine Dead Air replacement, part number DA012. It is the exact same detent plate the factory installs on their KeyMo and KeyMicro adapters, with the same all-metal construction and black nitride finish, so fit and function match what came on your mount from day one.
How do I know when my KeyMo detent ring needs replacing?
The most common signs are a mushy or less positive ratchet feel when spinning the suppressor onto the muzzle device, or a mount that no longer clicks and indexes as crisply as it used to. Heat, carbon, and repeated mounting cycles wear small parts over time. If lockup feels off after cleaning, a fresh detent ring usually brings back that factory feel.
Does the Dead Air Detent Ring come with an adapter?
No, this listing is for the detent ring only. The KeyMo and KeyMicro adapters are sold separately. This part is meant as a spare or replacement for an adapter or suppressor you already own.
