What is going on with Dead Air?

[SteveL]

I have 3 DA cans and about 5 rifles with their muzzle devices on them. I planned to stay heavily invested in DA until I started seeing news like this. I went to a training with a guy who had a tan Sierra 5 that destroyed itself.

I think I will be going Huxworx moving forward.

I'm in a similar situation with two DA cans, a Sandman K and Sierra 5, and three rifles set up for Keymo. Unfortunately I was about six months into the wait for the Sierra 5 before I learned of their issues. I don't really need any more AR's, but if I set up another I'm eyeing Huxwrx as well.

It’s probably silly, but the swirling end of the huxwrx looked problematic to me. Knowing me, I would end up getting shit in the end of it.

You guys think I should still roll the dice for the Wolfman for a 9mm/300 blackout can?

I think any way I go I will be running the Rearden Atlas

What made you guys go with the Velos over a Huxwrx?

Modular mount options vs proprietary with the Flow 556k.

The state of Dead Air right now are an example of why that's a good idea.

Look at Huxwrx's latest above. Solves all of your problems.

You can’t sway me at this point. I’m 7 months into the process. If this was available when I purchased the Velos, I would have considered it. Maybe it will be my next one…

Yeah man, go for it.

[Stopsign32v]

Yeah man, go for it.

From everything I have seen it sounds like the S5 is the only issue people are having. However the lack of attention to the problem is what has me nervous. If I need customer service later with my Wolfman will it be there?

For what it's worth the Velos looks a bit cooler IMO. Only thing I like more about the Ventum is you can remove the core and possibly change out the endplate.
