Description
Dead Air took the Nomad LT, one of the quietest .30 cal cans of the last several years, and put it on a serious diet. The result is the Nomad LTi XC, their lightest .30 caliber suppressor to date at just 9.9 ounces for the body and 12.2 ounces with the included Xeno adapter installed. The XC stands for Cross-Country, and that name fits. This is the can you hang on a mountain rifle when the truck is five miles behind you and the bull is still two ridges ahead.
How the Nomad LTi XC Sheds Weight Without Losing Its Voice
The weight savings come from additive manufacturing. Dead Air 3D prints the internals from Grade 5 6Al-4V titanium, which let their engineers build an enhanced two-stage coaxial baffle system with pressure-harnessing structures that manage everything from soft-shooting subsonics to full-power magnums. That translates to better sound performance than the previous generation while trimming ounces, not adding them. The full-length 8.12 inch body (8.8 inches with the Xeno adapter) gives it the internal volume to take real bite out of centerfire rifle blast, and it's rated all the way up to .300 RUM with a 4400 ft-lb muzzle energy ceiling. The FDE high-temp Cerakote finish keeps it looking right at home on a hunting rig and shrugs off the heat of extended strings.
Mounting the Nomad LTi XC Xeno Your Way
This package ships ready to run with the DA455 Xeno quick-detach adapter and a DA124 Omni Brake in 5/8-24, so most bolt guns and semi-autos are covered right out of the box. The rear of the can uses the HUB pattern, meaning you can swap to Dead Air's KeyMo or a direct thread mount in seconds if your setup changes down the road. Barrel minimums are 12.5 inches for supersonic 5.56 and 6 inches for subsonic .300 BLK, and it is not full-auto rated, which is a fair trade for a can this light. If your hunts involve elevation gain and long glassing sessions, this one earns its spot on the muzzle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Dead Air Nomad LTi XC weigh?
The bare can comes in at 9.9 ounces, which makes it Dead Air's lightest .30 caliber suppressor to date. With the included Xeno adapter installed, total weight is 12.2 ounces. For a full-length 8.8 inch can rated to .300 RUM, that is genuinely impressive.
What calibers can I run through the Nomad LTi XC?
It handles most common rifle cartridges from .223/5.56 up through the big .30 caliber magnums, with a top rating of .300 RUM and 4,400 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That covers 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, and plenty in between. Just mind the barrel minimums: 12.5 inches for supersonic 5.56 and 6 inches for subsonic .300 BLK.
Does the Nomad LTi XC work with other mounts besides the Xeno?
Yes, the rear of the can uses the industry-standard HUB pattern (1.375×24), so you can swap to Dead Air's KeyMo or a direct thread mount in seconds. One thing worth knowing: Dead Air notes it may not play well with some third-party HUB mounts, so sticking with Dead Air OEM adapters is the safe bet.
Is this suppressor rated for full-auto fire?
No, the Nomad LTi XC is not full-auto rated. It was designed around hunting and precision rifle use, where shaving weight matters more than sustained rapid fire. For bolt guns and typical semi-auto shooting, it is built to hold up just fine.
