Dead Air Primal – Multi-Caliber .46 / Big-Bore Suppressor
One can to rule them all. Rugged. Versatile. Ready for anything.
The Dead Air Primal is a purpose-built, multi-caliber suppressor engineered to handle everything from compact pistol cartridges up through heavy big-bore rifles. Built with a tubeless, fully welded 17-4 PH stainless steel body and heavy-duty attachments, the Primal delivers magnum-class strength in a surprisingly manageable package — making it a true “do-it-all” can for shooters who want one suppressor that covers nearly their entire arsenal.
Key Features:
-
Multi-Caliber Capability: Rated to handle very large bores (listed as a .46/.458 family) while also running smaller centerfire and pistol calibers down to 9mm when paired with the proper booster/piston.
-
Robust Construction: Tubeless, fully welded 17-4 PH stainless steel body for extreme strength and longevity under punishing schedules.
-
Mounting Flexibility: Ships with a 5/8×24 direct-thread insert and includes HUB→P-Series adapter — compatible with Dead Air KeyMo, Nomad/Wolfman, Ghost, Xeno, and other Dead Air mounting systems (plenty of adapter/mount options).
-
Full-Auto Rated: Built to withstand sustained full-auto fire in compatible hosts (model/config dependent).
-
Durable Finish & Inserts: High-temp Cerakote body finish with nitride thread inserts for wear resistance and low-glare appearance.
Specifications (typical / SKU dependent — verify SKU):

-
Diameter: 1.618 in nominal.
-
Weight: ~16.4 oz (varies slightly by configuration).

Material: 17-4 PH stainless steel (welded tubeless design).
-
Finish: Black Cerakote body with nitride thread insert (other finishes/variants may be available).
-
Included Mounting: 5/8×24 direct-thread insert and HUB→P-Series adapter (further adapters sold separately).
Why It Stands Out:
The Primal’s combination of a large .46 bore, welded 17-4 stainless construction, and broad adapter/mount compatibility makes it one of the most versatile suppressors available. It’s designed to be the single suppressor you can reasonably trust on everything from a compact pistol to a .338 Lapua / .45-70 / .458 setup — reducing the need for multiple cans and simplifying your kit. Reviewers and retailers position it as a “do-everything” can for shooters who want maximum flexibility.
Perfect For:
Shooters who want a single, heavy-duty suppressor to cover multiple platforms — hunters, precision shooters, PCC users, and range operators who may run anything from pistol calibers up through magnum rifle rounds and want one robust can to do it all.
