Suppressing a .45-70 lever action rifle is one of my life goals. Carrying a suppressed “Planet Gun” (my term for a firearm chambered in a caliber that can take down any species on Earth) is simply awesome. And yes, I realize that Blue Whales are probably resistant to even the heaviest .45-70 rounds. But shelling out nearly $1K for a silencer that may only see a few shots a year is not something that my budget can handle. Enter the Dead Air Primal – a multi-caliber suppressor with a host of mounting options for practically every firearm imaginable. So instead of having a suppressor that just sits waiting for your next T-Rex hunt, you’ve got a true caliber-eating machine. Details below.

BIG BORE BEAST: The Dead Air Primal Is A Caliber Eating Machine

The multi-purpose .46 caliber Primal. Optimized for big caliber high-pressure rifles, but adaptable enough for your pistol – and everything in between.

Extreme versatility makes it the king of multi-platform shooting. Direct thread simplicity, quick-attach Keymo, accuracy-driven Xeno, pistol boosters, and 3-lug for subgun fun, are all made possible thanks to our industry-standard 1.375”-24 rear threads and our newly engineered HUB to P-Series adapter.

To get you started, we’re including a 5/8-24 direct thread insert and the HUB to P-Series adapter. The Primal is ready for Nomad, Wolfman, and Ghost compatible mounts, right out of the box.

From 9mm to .45 ACP, and 45-70 to .338 Lapua, like a rabid beast the Primal will eat just about anything you give it. If you only want one silencer (to begin with), the Primal is it. Feed it what you want, mount it how you want. Your gun is waiting.

HUB mounting system compatible. Use direct thread, Xeno, or Keymo, and with the included HUB to P-Series adapter, the Primal accepts 3-lug and booster adapters.
