The Xeno Flash Hider works superbly as a stand alone muzzle device, but really shines when paired with a Xeno Adapter equipped suppressor. The Xeno Flash Hider gives you a lightweight suppressor mounting option with non-negotiable repeatability and a solid return to zero - ideal for precision-minded shooters. Don't worry, the Xeno Mount System still provides you, hard core users, the durability you've come to expect from Dead Air. The shorter length and lock-up positioning of the Xeno Mount System make it shine. How exactly? The Xeno Flash Hider doesn't sit deep into the blast chamber. This minimizes focused erosion on your baffles, prolonging suppressor life, while maximizing sound performance. The shortened length also supports a more future-proof design with a heavy consideration for suppressors with smaller blast chambers across the industry. Plus, the Adapter uses the industry standard 1-3/8-24 threads, making it not only compatible with the Nomad series, but also many other silencers on the market. The Xeno Flash Hider and Adapter mate together with left-handed threads, eliminating your worries of the adapter unthreading from your silencer when removed. This also lets you verify your mount is still tight when installing on your firearm.
