DEADAIR RXD690S RXD XENO BRDCAGE FLSHHIDER 9/16-24
The Dead Air Armament RXD690S RXD Xeno Birdcage Flash Hider is a muzzle device that brings together the proven flash-suppression design of the classic Ruger Mini-14/Mini-30 birdcage with Dead Air's Xeno mounting technology. If you're running a rifle or carbine that can accept a 9/16x24 threaded muzzle and you want reliable flash reduction without the complexity of a suppressor, this is a straightforward choice. The birdcage profile is iconic for a reason—it's been suppressing muzzle flash effectively for decades—and this version locks in place using Dead Air's Xeno taper system, which is built for consistency across shot strings.
Flash hiders matter when you're shooting in low light, hunting at dawn or dusk, or simply trying to keep your sight picture unobstructed by muzzle flash. The RXD690S delivers that without requiring a Form 4 or can. The Xeno mounting system ensures a repeatable lockup; you can mount and dismount the device multiple times without losing zero, which is useful if you're swapping between different muzzle devices or taking the rifle in and out of a case. Dead Air engineered this to handle hard firing conditions, so it won't walk loose or degrade in performance over a long shooting session.
This is a no-frills muzzle device built on a time-tested platform. You're getting effective flash suppression, a secure mechanical mount, and the durability you'd expect from a dedicated suppressor manufacturer. If your rifle's threaded for 9/16x24 and you want to tame muzzle flash without the regulatory and financial commitment of a suppressor, the RXD690S is worth serious consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles does the RXD690S fit?
The RXD690S is designed for any rifle or carbine with a 9/16x24 threaded muzzle. Check your barrel's thread pitch and diameter before ordering.
How does the Xeno mounting system work?
The Xeno system uses a tapered interface that creates a secure mechanical lockup between the device and the barrel. This design allows you to remove and remount the flash hider repeatedly while maintaining zero shift.
Do I need a suppressor form to use this flash hider?
No. This is a flash hider, not a suppressor. You do not need any federal paperwork or stamps to own or use it. It reduces muzzle flash but is not regulated as a silencer.
Will this affect my rifle's point of impact?
The Xeno mounting system is engineered for consistent repeatability, meaning zero shift should be minimal with proper installation. However, any muzzle device change can affect your zero; always verify at the range after installation.
