DEADAIR DA130GOV XENO GOV 3P FLASH HIDER 5/8-24
The Dead Air Armament Xeno GOV 3-prong flash hider in 5/8-24 is a compact, precision-engineered muzzle device built for shooters who demand effective flash reduction without sacrificing repeatability or ease of maintenance. Machined from 17-4 stainless steel and finished with Black Nitride, this flash hider combines corrosion resistance with a sleek, minimalist profile—making it equally at home on a precision rifle or a duty carbine where reliability matters.
The Xeno GOV's design centers on a large-taper thread-behind-taper system that ensures precise alignment every time you reinstall it, crucial for shooters who swap muzzle devices or run suppressors intermittently. The three-prong configuration manages muzzle flash effectively while keeping overall length compact at under 2 inches. Whether you're running night vision, managing flash signature in low-light conditions, or simply protecting your eyesight and those around you on the range, this device delivers genuine flash reduction without the bulk.
Dead Air engineered the GOV series to work seamlessly with both their current Xeno HUB-taper ecosystem and legacy Xeno adapters, giving you flexibility as your setup evolves. The Nitride QPQ finish stands up to harsh conditions and frequent use, and at just 3.20 ounces, it adds minimal weight to your barrel. This is a flash hider for the shooter who values precision, durability, and no-nonsense function over marketing hype.
