The Dead Air DA106 KeyMo Muzzle Brake delivers exceptional recoil reduction and muzzle control for 338 caliber rifles with M18x1.5 threading. This precision-machined brake integrates seamlessly with Dead Air's KeyMo mounting system, allowing rapid suppressor attachment while maintaining zero retention.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard linear compensators, the DA106 features asymmetrical port geometry that redirects gas flow to counteract both vertical climb and lateral movement. The KeyMo interface provides a secure, repeatable mounting platform that eliminates the timing issues common with traditional threaded suppressors. Heat-treated 4140 alloy steel construction withstands sustained firing schedules that would degrade lesser materials.
Key Features
- KeyMo quick-attach system for instant suppressor mounting
- 4140 heat-treated alloy steel construction with black nitride finish
- M18x1.5 thread pitch optimized for 338 caliber rifles
- Asymmetrical port design reduces felt recoil by up to 40%
- Self-timing installation eliminates crush washers and shims
- Compatible with Dead Air Sandman and Nomad suppressor series
- Wrench flats machined for 3/4-inch socket installation
Range testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through multiple attach/detach cycles, making it ideal for precision shooting applications where suppressor use varies by environment. The nitride coating resists corrosion in harsh weather conditions while maintaining the precise tolerances required for suppressor alignment. Competition shooters benefit from reduced muzzle rise during rapid strings, while hunters appreciate the option to quickly attach sound suppression without re-zeroing.
