Dead Air Xeno 3 Prong Flash Hider 9mm 5 8x24 Black DA130 UPC 810128160711
Product Description
The Dead Air® Xeno Mount 3-Prong Flash Hider (SKU: DA130 / UPC: 810128160711) brings Dead Air's minimalist, high-repeatability taper-mount architecture to 9mm pistol-caliber carbines, subguns, and multi-caliber hosts threaded in 5/8x24. Engineered as a rock-solid, lightweight suppressor host for Xeno Adapter-equipped silencers (such as the Wolfman via DA457 or HUB-compatible cans via DA455), the DA130 gives tactical and competition shooters an uncompromising balance of precision return-to-zero and dependable flash suppression. When shooting unsuppressed, the three-prong geometry rapidly slices and vents hot muzzle gases to virtually eradicate muzzle flash in low-light environments without introducing the jarring concussive blast associated with standard compensators.
Milled from ordnance-grade 4140 HT (Heat Treated) alloy steel, the Xeno DA130 is manufactured to strict concentricity tolerances to ensure perfect bore alignment with your silencer. The entire muzzle device undergoes a rigorous salt-bath QPQ black nitride case-hardening process that deeply bonds into the alloy surface. This treatment creates an ultra-tough, friction-reducing shield that wards off rust, resists extreme heat cycling during rapid firing strings, and shrugs off carbon buildup and harsh cleaning solvents, ensuring your mounting surfaces stay clean and functional over tens of thousands of rounds.
The mechanical genius of the Xeno system centers on its forward-taper sealing profile and left-hand external threading. By placing the sealing taper ahead of the mounting threads, the Xeno system blocks burning combustion gases and particulate debris from ever reaching the mounting threads, effectively eliminating carbon lock. Crucially, the reverse (left-hand) thread pitch ensures that when you break torque to remove your hot suppressor, you are actually tightening the muzzle device against the barrel shoulder rather than accidentally unthreading the muzzle device from your host firearm. The three open tines are acoustically detuned to eliminate harmonic ringing on discharge, while rear 3/4-inch wrench flats ensure clean armorer installation.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Direct fit for barrels threaded 5/8x24 UNEF-2B with standard 90-degree square shoulders (including 9mm PCCs, 300 Blackout, 7.62x39, and .308 Win hosts). Mates natively with Dead Air Xeno Adapters (DA455 HUB, DA457 P-Series). CRITICAL: NOT compatible with Dead Air KeyMo (DA428/DA429) or KeyMicro (DA451) mounting systems. DO NOT install this muzzle device using a crush washer; crush washers crush unpredictably and cause catastrophic baffle strikes. Because this is a 3-prong flash hider, rotational timing is NOT required; install directly against a clean 90-degree barrel shoulder (or utilize precision shims such as the Dead Air DA002 kit if length spacing is necessary). Barrels featuring a 25-degree SIG taper require a 90-degree shoulder adapter ring before installation. Maximum permissible bullet diameter is 9mm (.357 caliber); do NOT use on .40 S&W, 10mm, or .45 ACP hosts. Recommended armorer installation torque is 25 to 30 ft-lbs with high-temperature Rocksett applied to degreased threads.
- Ensure the host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically verified empty.
- Thoroughly clean and degrease the barrel muzzle threads and 90-degree shoulder face using acetone, brake cleaner, or denatured alcohol to remove all oils and carbon residue.
- Thread the DA130 onto the barrel hand-tight to verify clean thread engagement and verify that the rear collar seats perfectly flush against the barrel shoulder.
- Apply 2 to 3 drops of high-temperature Rocksett to the barrel threads, engage a 3/4-inch crowfoot or open-end wrench on the rear flats, and torque to 25–30 ft-lbs.
- Thread on your Xeno-equipped suppressor (remembering the adapter engages via LEFT-HAND reverse threads), verify mechanical alignment down the bore using a caliber-specific alignment rod, allow Rocksett to cure for 24 hours, and execute safety dry-fire checks before live firing.
Key Features
- Xeno Taper-Mount Architecture: Provides rock-solid, repeatable lockup with verified zero point-of-impact shift across host firearms.
- Left-Hand Reverse Threads: Prevents muzzle device unthreading from the host barrel when decoupling hot suppressors in the field.
- Carbon-Shielding Forward Taper: Seals hot combustion gasses ahead of the threads, completely eliminating suppressor carbon lock.
- Acoustically Detuned 3-Prong Profile: Slices burning propellant gases for rapid flash reduction while eliminating harmonic ringing and tuning-fork ping.
- Ordnance-Grade 4140 HT Steel: Precision CNC-machined from heat-treated alloy steel for long-term resistance to high blast baffle erosion.
- QPQ Black Nitride Treatment: Salt-bath nitrocarburized surface finish ensures exceptional corrosion, wear, and solvent resistance.
- Non-Timed Installation: Eliminates the hassle of indexing shims; simply torque directly against a square 90-degree shoulder.
- Integrated 3/4-Inch Wrench Flats: Machined flats provide a positive interface for armorer torque wrenches and crowfoot sockets.
