The Dead Air Keymount Flash Hider in 1/2x28 threads is a precision muzzle device engineered for shooters running Dead Air's Sandman suppressor series. If you're serious about suppressed shooting—whether hunting, tactical training, or precision rifle work—this flash hider solves a real problem: the mechanical noise signature that occurs when a traditional flash hider interacts with a suppressor. Dead Air's patent-pending design uses mass-shifted, equal-length tines to eliminate that telltale "ping," giving you a cleaner, more refined suppressed shot. It's the result of Direct Action feedback from the community—shooters asked for it, and Dead Air built it.
Built tough and designed to last, this muzzle device weighs in at approximately 3.6 to 4.0 ounces and measures 2.7 inches in length. The 1/2x28 thread pattern is standard on most 5.56 and .223 rifles, making it a straightforward swap on modern sporting rifles, AR-15 variants, and precision carbines. The Keymount system ensures reliable, repeatable interface with your suppressor, so you can trust the zero and performance run after run.
Whether you're suppressing a hunting rifle for reduced signature and hearing safety, or running a precision rifle system at the range, this flash hider pairs seamlessly with the Sandman line and brings the same quality engineering Dead Air is known for. Backed by a lifetime warranty, it's a solid investment in your suppressor ecosystem.
