Dead Air Silencers Sandman X - Silencer Xeno W/ Hider Fde

The Dead Air Silencers Sandman X Xeno with FDE finish is a 7.62 NATO rifle silencer built for shooters who demand quiet performance across demanding conditions. This is a modular suppressor engineered around three core principles: serious sound reduction, low backpressure for reliable semi-automatic and bolt-action operation, and proven durability under hard use. The Xeno mount configuration ships with a 5/8-24 three-prong flash hider, giving you a ready-to-run package for most modern rifle setups.

What sets the Sandman X apart is its balancing act. Dead Air optimized the internal baffle geometry—made possible only through additive manufacturing—to deliver genuine class-leading sound reduction at both the muzzle and the shooter's ear. The real-world benefit: less gas blowback in your face during the firing sequence, which translates to less wear on your rifle's bolt carrier group and a shooting experience that stays comfortable over extended sessions. The low-backpressure gas management system means the Sandman X cycles reliably and cleanly in semi-auto platforms without the excess wear or reliability headaches that plague less-refined designs.

Built from Haynes 282 material and finished in FDE high-temp Cerakote, the Sandman X is rated for .300 RUM with no barrel restrictions. At 1.65 inches in diameter and 6.4 inches long, it won't force you into an unwieldy profile. The 1.375-24 HUB socket accepts Dead Air's full ecosystem of adapters—including KeyMo Xeno and direct-thread options—so you can migrate the silencer across your collection or upgrade the mounting system as your needs evolve. The R-Series front cap system means you can swap end caps for different caliber optimization (the included 5/8-24 hider is 7.62-tuned; a dedicated 5.56 cap is available separately).

Whether you're running precision bolt guns, semi-auto hunting rifles, or duty-grade platforms, the Sandman X delivers the acoustic performance and practical durability that built Dead Air's reputation in suppressor design.
