Dead Air Nomad-30 Details
The Dead Air Nomad-30 is a full-auto rated .30 caliber suppressor built from 17-4 PH stainless steel with Grade 5 titanium thread mounts and front cap insert. It weighs 14.5 oz and measures 6.5 inches in length with a 1.735-inch outer diameter. The Nomad-30 ships with a 5/8x24 direct thread mount, is compatible with Dead Air Key-Mo and Xeno mounting systems, and accepts all Sandman series front cap inserts and the Dead Air E-brake. It is rated for calibers up to .300 Winchester Magnum, with sub-calibers including 5.56 acceptable, and has a Cerakote finish.
Features and Benefits
- 17-4 PH stainless steel welded construction with Grade 5 titanium thread mounts and front cap insert — the titanium components keep the removable parts light while the stainless steel body handles the heat of sustained fire
- High-efficiency baffle design specifically engineered for minimal first-round pop alongside reduced back-pressure — the large-diameter body and milled surface features contribute to faster heat dissipation and improved grip during installation and removal
- Laser-welded construction throughout: full-penetration welds with thick, robust joint fit-ups and no thin-walled welded sections
- Modular rear system: the back cap accepts direct thread mounts (5/8x24 included) or KeyMo fast-attach mounts for quick suppressor swaps between host rifles already equipped with Key-Mo compatible brakes or flash hiders
- Xeno mounting system compatible as well, giving shooters access to Dead Air's newest quick-detach architecture on existing Xeno-equipped hosts
- Front cap accepts all Dead Air Sandman series cap inserts and the E-brake — if you already own a Sandman, you can share front caps between platforms
- Full-auto rated for demanding firing schedules
- Caliber rated to .300 Winchester Magnum; sub-calibers including 5.56 NATO are acceptable
- Cerakote finish for long-term durability
- Dead Air Lifetime Warranty
Mounting System
The Nomad-30 ships with a 5/8x24 direct thread mount installed. Additional mount configurations:
For Key-Mo: the Key-Mo adapter threads into the back cap and locks onto any Dead Air Key-Mo compatible flash hider or muzzle brake. Key-Mo removal involves rotating the suppressor body approximately 3/4 turn counter-clockwise until it stops, then slipping it off the brake or flash hider.
For Xeno: Dead Air's Xeno system provides an additional fast-attach option using a separate Xeno adapter. Compatible with Xeno muzzle brake mounts.
The Nomad features modular HUB mounting threads that accept any HUB/Bravo/OMega/1.375x24 threaded adaptors or QD systems.
Thread lockers such as Loctite, Rocksett, or Vibra-Tite can be used between the barrel and muzzle device but are not required. We have found torquing the muzzle device to 20-25 ft-lbs is good.
Front Cap Compatibility
The Nomad-30 front cap accepts all Dead Air R-series endcap inserts (5.56 cap, 6.5 cap, 7.62 Ti cap, 5.56 flash hider cap, 7.62 flash hider cap) and the Dead Air E-brake. This means shooters with an existing Sandman can run the same front caps on the Nomad-30, and the E-brake configuration delivers reduced recoil across all tested calibers. The 7.62 Ti cap is included with the Nomad-30.
