Dead Air KA180 E-Brake Muzzle Device Black 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Dead Air KA180 E-Brake transforms suppressor performance by redirecting gas flow to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. This precision-machined muzzle device integrates seamlessly with Dead Air Nomad-30 suppressors while functioning as a standalone brake when shooting unsuppressed.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional linear compensators, the KA180 E-Brake features strategically positioned ports that vector gas perpendicular to the bore axis. The 17-4 stainless steel construction withstands extreme heat cycles while maintaining dimensional stability. Internal threading matches Dead Air's KeyMo mounting system for quick suppressor attachment without sacrificing zero retention.

Key Features

• 17-4 precipitation-hardened stainless steel construction for maximum durability
• Armament Black Cerakote finish resists corrosion and wear
• Compatible with Dead Air Nomad-30 and other KeyMo-threaded suppressors
• Dual-purpose design functions as brake and suppressor mount
• Precision CNC machined for consistent concentricity
• Standard 5/8x24 threading fits most .30 caliber rifles
• Timing shims included for proper port alignment

Field testing demonstrates significant recoil reduction compared to standard A2 flash hiders, particularly beneficial for rapid follow-up shots in competition and tactical applications. The brake performs effectively with cartridges from .223 Remington through .300 Winchester Magnum. Weather exposure testing confirms the Cerakote finish maintains integrity through thousands of rounds and adverse conditions.
