Another one on Reddit. I don't know shit about welding. But to me it looks like the welded portion of the baffle is still connected to the tube, but the rest of the baffles are missing.

I sent an email to DA asking if I could send in my Sierra 5 to be "fixed" before I shot it. I surprisingly received a reply within a few hours. This was DA's response:
"We had a small number of Sierra 5's with weld issues, Not all items are affected. If you feel you would like to have it sent in for inspection; We will be reaching out to you in the future with labels to send the Sierra's in." Recall in the process? EDIT - I sent a reply asking if I could send it in now instead of waiting. This was the response from DA: "We will send you an email when we are ready to get the sierra 5s in for inspection. It shouldn't be more than a week or two." |

I like my Sierra, have shot hell out of it...HOWEVER it's been on 14.7, 16" and 18" bench guns. I can't mag dump at the range.
My only complaint, If I designed it, was to forego the removable front cap. Nothing wrong with just making it a closed end-non removable. Also, I tightened my cap with the tool, it came loose after about 20 rds when new. Degreased it and tightened the hell out of it with vibra tite on threads. To me that's just another area requiring a special tool, and where issues can happen. Switched my keymo to xeno, no issues with xeno loosening, I have on two occasions had to use smoothe jaw pliers in my range bag to losen it off the muzzle device however. ETA: it was still fairly hot, so understandable. I like the xeno system. Will shoot it some more this week, will report if issues. I hope Dead Air can put this behind them. I have a bunch their cans . All that said, someone was too stoned, drunk, or high to have been allowed anywhere near a welder at the plant if that ends up being the case given everything we have seen. |

While I haven’t been particularly pleased with DA’s response through this, in fairness to them I don’t know that they’re changing their tune/tone. They’ve always said that more would be forthcoming in the future. This is probably at least part of that promised forthcoming “more.” |

And it sure seems like every Dead Air suppressor is out of stock, so perhaps they're changing some stuff up so this type of thing doesn't happen again. Buy a KGM from Bereli for $400 if you want something right now. |

Especially since I am not planning on removing. The Sierra doesn't need a removable front cap anyway IMHO. I would weld it if I could. |

Has anyone received a Sierra 5 back from DA that has been "fixed" yet?
I'm curious how DA is going to contact those with S5's to notify them of the defect/recall? Considering the process to buy a suppressor doesn't go directly through the manufacture. When the rep said they would reach out to "us" I was a bit confused on how they would know who to contact. |

Mines been gone for 107 days at this point. Dead Air finally replied to me 7/10/23 after bi-weekly emails asking for a status update.
This is what they said: Currently this is showing in the repair process for me. Hope to have this out to you ASAP but I don't have an exact date your specific silencer will be fixed up. We are working hard to get this fixed up and back to you. I purchased a Polonium K after i sent my Sierra 5 out and it’s already cleared the form 4, so I don’t care when the Sierra gets fixed anymore. The rifle it lived on is set up to run suppressed, so I “needed” another can. |

With that said I flat out wont be buying a KGM produced can due to my experience with them and getting a issue resolved in the past with a KGmade product.

As others have said, thanks to those who are posting useful info and keeping this on track. I emailed DA yesterday through their website to see if I could preemptively send mine in for inspection while I wait for the form to clear and I got the same response as another user posted above:
"We had a small number of Sierra 5's with weld issues, Not all items are affected. If you feel you would like to have it sent in for inspection; We will be reaching out to you in the future with labels to send the Sierra's in. - Jake" I'm on day 65 of the wait for my approval. Would be nice piece of mind if they can check it and repair if needed before it gets approved. But we shall see. It's encouraging to hear the positive reviews of the cans that are functioning properly. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By contax_shooter: - 80 rounds - 12.5” AR on a routine zero and dope confirmation for a new configuration. No mag dumps - Noticed the baffles were loose upon inspection at home - Repair and return was 8 days back in March Didn't you contact Mageever through this forum about your issues and didn't that help speed up your process? Granted, you did have one of the earliest approvals with early failure. |

What caused the repair timeline to go from eight days to indefinite? Why hasn't DA issued a stop-use order and recall?

Maybe they haven’t issued a recall because it’s not that big of a widespread issue reddit makes it out to be…. My dealer is huge in the nfa game and they have told me they sold around 400 Sierra5’s and have not heard one issue on any of them yet. |

Edit: I think I saw someone with a 7000 serial number post. Even if there are 10,000 on form 4, I'm curious what dealer is doing 4%+ of Dead Air volume. Who is your LGS? |

If it's not that widespread then why's the warranty wait so long and why can't they inspect unfired units immediately? Defect reports are all over all forms of social media, not just Reddit. |

I am current at 58 days on my repair so just short of 2 months which is pretty shitty after waiting 220 days for approval.

Defect reports are all over all forms of social media, not just Reddit. Why don't any of you persistent whiners ask KGM that? They are the ones that did Dead Air and all of you Sierra buyers dirty. DA can't MAKE them fix the cans any faster and obviously KGM isn't running the tightest ship. I mean seriously, some of you. We get it. DA destroyed your barrel, boned your wife, ran over your dog, touched you where you shouldn't have, and didn't give you the decency of a reacharound when you paid for that Sierra 5. So let's play the broken record over and over again. Let's burn DA to the ground even though we loved them a year ago. I bet 75%-plus of those raising a stink on the internet about the Sierra didn't even buy one. |
