Dead Air Mask Review

[@kylehoffman8830]

DA Mask was my first dive into the world of NFA back in 2017. I've ran it on a variety of hosts, both pistol and rifle, in 22LR, 22WMR, 17HMR, and 5.7×28. Outstanding across the board! I have ~4k rounds through it so far and it hasn't lost its charm yet.

[@CalebDowning]

Awesome! I wholeheartedly agree with your experience 👌

[@OhioGunRunner]

Got the call today my stamp finally came thru! The DA Mask will be my first suppresser. Thanks for the info.

[@CalebDowning]

Hey! Congrats man!! 🥳🎊🍾 That’s one of the best calls you can get 🥹

You can also do a video on cleaning...do you use a ultra sonic cleaner or elbow grease?

[@CalebDowning]

I’m terrible about cleaning my cans. I generally just scrub out the baffles with some solvent and an old toothbrush. I could make a video of it if enough folks wanted to see it 🤔

[@chriss4325]

Very good experience with this silencer. CLR cleans the internals great with a cheap sonicator.

[@CalebDowning]

👍 nice 👌

[@DanielBoone337]

Yeah man this was my 1st rimfire suppressor and I shoot it on 17 wsm along with 22lr a bunch and it's amazing... Oddly enough this is the only 22lr suppressor I've ever used. All my buddies tried mine and that's what they bought also so I don't have anything else to compare it to but I've never seen a bad review and everyone always says it's an awesome can.

[@CalebDowning]

Ditto my brother 👊🏻

[@rct1313]

I have this suppressor as well. It’s awesome. Works great on my Beretta 21A Bobcat w/threaded barrel, as well as my Ruger Mark IV. Regular Federal 40 gr stuff is quiet since the barrels are short enough to keep it subsonic. This suppressor also works well on my S&W M&P15-22 pistol w/Aguila 60 gr subsonic rounds. No keyholing, only hear the action cycling. A video on cleaning those baffles would helpful since it gets very dirty and takes forever to clean with solvent and a brush. Thanks for your great content-your videos are excellent!

[@CalebDowning]

Great hosts there man 👍 I’m surprised to hear the 15-22 cycles subs, that’s really cool! I’ll try and out a cleaning video up before long. Thanks for the support man 👊🏻

[@DennisRoach-jr1cn]

Would like to know about the best cleaning medium for the mask. What about CLR??

[@TheTomvaughan]

I have one and love it! I shoot cci quiet 875 ft per second. Runs flawlessly on a semi auto. I also have a bunch of mini mags I’ve been shooting still quiet although the CCI 875 per second has me looking everywhere to buy some.

[@CalebDowning]

Dude, those CCI Quiet rounds are amazing 👌

[@M0onM0nkey]

Got one on the way but she got caught up in the nfa jail. She been doing her time there with the atf for 6 months now...when she gets released for good behavior, got a P322 and Ruger Precision Rimfire that I bet she's gonna enjoy meeting. 😢

[@CalebDowning]

The longer the wait the sweeter the reunion 😉 I hope she’s close to getting out though. And very nice choices on hosts 👌

[@hghunter44]

I use my Mask on a CZ 527 in17 hornet as well with no issues. It does a great job suppressing the 17 hornet.

[@CalebDowning]

Ooo, I’ll bet that does sound good 🤔👍

[@MrCravin8388]

On MK2 it didn't even sound like it was firing the subs. Nice vid once again!

[@CalebDowning]

Thanks Paul 👊🏻 I was pretty dang impressed by its performance as well 😁

[@KRN762]

The Smith Wesson .22lr compact is another good host. That's what use for my Mask HD.

[@CalebDowning]

Nice 👌😎

[@Juliang61]

Just picked mine up and it is awesome

[@CalebDowning]

Hey, congrats man 👊🏻

[@samblack5293]

once again enjoy your videos, I have the Deadair Wolfman on my 300 Blk out and looking to suppress my G44 22lr, in your trusted opinion which way would lean, the Deadair Mask or the Silencerco Sparrow, they are very close in specs so it will come down to what I want to spend but would like an expert opinion, thanks for you time and keep up the great videos

[@CalebDowning]

Thank man, and I’m glad you’re getting something from these videos. I don’t have the Sparrow but it’s been on my wish list over since I first at saw it as a teenager, just never picked one up. I do have three Masks though… the think that the Mask would win at,in my opinion, is its overbuilt design. That can will outlast your grandkids. If you are a heavy shooter and even want to shoot lots of 5.7 then I think the Mask would be the way to go. In the other hand. If you simply want a quality can and aren’t worried about running it over with your truck, then I would think the Sparrow would be a perfectly good choice.

[@clintbennetsen6392]

My Mask owners manual recommends using the dip solution to clean it.

[@CalebDowning]

[@carbonfibercrypto2919]

can't decide between rugged oculus and DA mask for a 7-inch AR-22 pistol

[@CalebDowning]

It’s hard to go wrong with the Mask. That thing is a beast. A little heavy, but it’ll last several lifetimes.

[@carbonfibercrypto2919]

@@CalebDowning if you had the oculus would you run it short?

[@CalebDowning]

@carbonfibercrypto2919 I have the JKArmament 22 can and I run it full length. Modular is fun but I end up wanting the most suppression and run them full length.

[@carbonfibercrypto2919]

@@CalebDowning nice once; im leaning toward the mask unless some titanium can comes out on a discount

[@bobborlog1677]

Im in about to order another 22 can.probably the rugged oculus since i have the mask already .

[@CalebDowning]

My review of the Griffin Armament Checkmate HD is dropping tomorrow. Not sure how helpful it’ll be in choosing a new 22 can but perhaps it’ll show you some more options 🤷‍♂️🤔

[@bobborlog1677]

@@CalebDowning nice I will definitely check it out

[@helas9]

The Mask is a great can. Had it been available when I got my Sico Sparrow, then it would have been my first .22 can. The other strong contender is the Nyx Mod2 from Energetic Armament.

[@CalebDowning]

Dude, I remember seeing the sparrow in gun magazines growing up. It always looked pretty dang cool. And honestly, I’ll bet the Sparrow and Mask would sound pretty close if shot side by side 🤷‍♂️

[@helas9]

@@CalebDowning Having shot them both side by side the Mask is better with no discernable frp. The mask is newer and uses more modern baffle tech, so it should be expected. With that said, I don't have any regerts from buying the sparrow. It's been a great performer on all hosts including 5.7x28.

[@CalebDowning]

Awesome, thanks for the clarification. 👌

[@rickeywest142]

waiting since 12/06/22 i have sooooo long to wait

[@davehartsock9106]

@@rickeywest142 that is what they said the average turn around time is here. When they first went electronic the turn around time was 2-3 months. Now that so many people are buying items we think are going to be banned, it’s up around the 7 month mark. At least it isn’t the 1 year it used to be.

Started watching this video, seen that dead air mat and my add kicked in so I started searching Google for one… forgot about your video and had to go back and watch it 😂 I just wanna know where you got that mat at…

[@CalebDowning]

Good eye 😉 That mat is part of the Dead Air Asylum swag.

[@SaltNBattery]

I just realized this dude is short 1 digit. I've been a sub for pretty long and I never saw it. Sorry if that sounds offensive or something, I'm only surprised at my lack of awareness.

[@CalebDowning]

Haha, your not gonna offend me. It was my own fault it happened so I’m not gonna blame folks for pointing it out. “Pointing” it out.. see what I did there 😂🤣

[@orion45acp]

On my want list

[@williamboggs1682]

How much better does it sound then a ghost on 22 I decided to get it as my second can over a ghost I thought hard about going ghost as my second can to use on other stuff but decided on the mask instead

[@CalebDowning]

It’s gonna be much better than a Ghost. When I get the Ghost video put together I’ll try to remember to put in some 22lr hosts.

[@williamboggs1682]

@@CalebDowning yeah maybe I’ll pick up a ghost as my 3 can
