The Sons of Liberty Gun Works Nox Xeno is a 5.56 flash hider built for shooters running 1/2x28 threaded barrels who want a muzzle device that does double duty as a suppressor mount. This version wears a bronze heat-treated finish over a chrome moly steel body, and at 3.1 ounces it stays light on the end of a carbine. It works as a standalone flash hider on patrol rifles and competition builds, but it really comes into its own paired with a Dead Air Xeno adapter, where it locks a suppressor in place with consistent return to zero.

The design centers on a 9-port neutral timing layout that reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise without throwing the gun off to one side. Because the porting is timed neutrally, the device doesn't require precise indexing to shoot flat, though it remains tunable and clockable at 45 or 90 degree positions if you want to fine-tune blast direction. The body measures 2.18 inches long by 1 inch in diameter and threads onto any 1/2x28 barrel chambered in .223 or 5.56. The bronze heat treatment adds corrosion resistance and durability under sustained fire. When mounting a Xeno-equipped silencer, left-handed threads on the adapter connection keep the can from backing off under repeated firing cycles. See related muzzle brakes for comparison.
This muzzle device fits builders setting up a 5.56 carbine that may later wear a suppressor, since it serves as the host mount for Dead Air Xeno-pattern cans. Run it bare for range work and patrol use, then thread on a silencer when you want the can without swapping the device. The neutral timing keeps follow-up shots fast on the flat range or in competition. Pair it with one of our 5.56 barrels to round out a build, or check the broader barrels and choke tubes selection for adapters and accessories.
Yes. It functions as a standalone flash hider on its own, and it serves as the host mount for Dead Air Xeno-pattern suppressors when paired with a Xeno adapter. The left-handed threads on the adapter connection prevent the can from unthreading under repeated firing.
It threads onto any 1/2x28 barrel chambered in .223 or 5.56. That covers most standard AR-15 carbine barrels in those calibers. The body measures 2.18 inches long by 1 inch in diameter.
The 9-port neutral timing design means the device reduces muzzle rise without requiring precise indexing. It remains tunable and clockable at 45 or 90 degree positions if you want to adjust blast direction, but neutral timing keeps recoil management consistent regardless of orientation.
This version uses a bronze heat-treated finish over a chrome moly steel body. The heat treatment adds corrosion resistance and durability under sustained fire, per manufacturer specifications, while giving the device its distinctive bronze color.
It weighs 3.1 ounces, which keeps it light on the muzzle end of a 5.56 carbine. The compact 2.18-inch length also limits how much it adds to overall barrel length.
