DEADAIR DA870 XENO RADIAL BRAKE 5/8-24 30

The Dead Air Xeno Radial Brake is a .30-caliber muzzle brake engineered to manage recoil and muzzle rise on precision rifles and tactical builds. Threaded at 5/8-24, this radial-design brake directs gases outward symmetrically, making it a popular choice for shooters who want effective recoil control without excessive side blast — a practical advantage whether you're running a precision rifle at a long-range match, managing a hunting rifle's kick in the field, or building out a dedicated range gun. Dead Air Armament's reputation for quality machining and functional design carries through in the Xeno line, and the radial pattern strikes a balance between raw recoil reduction and shooter and bystander comfort on the line.

The 5/8-24 thread pitch is a standard in modern .30-caliber rifles, making this brake compatible with a wide range of factory and custom barrels. Its design prioritizes robustness and minimal maintenance, fitting the needs of hunters, long-range competitors, and serious shooters who demand reliability without fuss.

Installation requires headspacing and timing to the barrel's specifics, so professional gunsmithing is recommended unless you have experience with muzzle-device installation and tuning. Once properly installed, the Xeno is a durable, low-maintenance addition to any .30-caliber rifle build.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Dead Air Xeno fit my rifle?

The Xeno is threaded at 5/8-24, which is standard on most modern .30-caliber rifle barrels including .308 Winchester, .300 Win Mag, .300 Blackout, 6.5 Creedmoor (in .30-caliber conversions), and similar cartridges. Verify your barrel is 5/8-24 threaded before purchase. If your barrel uses a different thread pitch, this brake will not fit.

What is a radial brake and how does it work?

A radial brake directs propellant gases outward from the bore axis in multiple directions rather than rearward. This symmetric design reduces muzzle rise and recoil impulse, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate. Radial designs are popular in precision rifle and tactical communities.

Do I need a gunsmith to install this?

Muzzle brake installation typically requires barrel-specific headspacing and timing to function correctly and avoid vibration or gas leakage. Professional gunsmith installation is strongly recommended unless you have the tools and experience to properly fit a muzzle device to your specific barrel.

What is .30-caliber bore?

The .30-caliber designation refers to the bore diameter and is compatible with rifle cartridges like .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, .30-06 Springfield, and other .30-caliber rounds. This brake is specifically designed for those rifle families.
