DSArms is proud to begin the release of our new Titanium line of AR parts and accessories! These first few items are just the beginning of our new line of more than 25 products that we will be offering in Titanium. We have started with natural Ti that has been blasted to give it that nice frosty finish. In addition to the blasted finish parts we will also be coming out with nearly all of these parts in a black finish.
The DSArms HGT line of parts are made from the best Titanium available. Fabricated from Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) which is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties, this grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability. With the DSArms HGT line you get the normal great benefits of Titanium but you also get a high quality part made from the right grade of Titanium required for that particular part.

So... I see the long flash hider. Am I correct it cannot not be pinned and welded. I thought the longer flash hider was commonly used on 14.5 inch barrels to make 16 inches.

Expensive version of what everyone can't wait to get off of their rifle seems silly to me FWIW, the A2 is one of the best "hybrid" devices made (ESPECIALLY when cost is a factor) in my opinion. Others suppress flash better or control the muzzle better but few do both as well. For $34, I might snag one of these. |

The Ti used in these applications is Ti6Al4V
The Extended length A2 flash hider is long enough to make a 14.5" to 16" OAL Some people want the pin hole and some do not so we decided to not include it. We selected these 2 muzzle device options to start with because we already have prints, a lot of people have no issue with an A2 and some even prefer them over other options and this is the industry standard device just in a new and better material at about half the weight. Keep in mind also that we will be offering a number of additional items in Ti, including a few different muzzle device options. Thanks, Mike DS Arms |

Yes. A2 FH is actually a very good muzzle device.
I've never drilled titanium. Quick google search shows you need very good bits, firm/steady pressure (Ti work hardens), and coolant. Not drilling a weld and pin hole on an extended FH is a mistake DSA. |

You are only drilling maybe a 1/8 inch hole maybe 3/16 deep. I have made several projects out of TI at work it's not as bad as some people think. Finding someone to weld it will be much harder chore. |

A flash hider is not designed solely to aid in the concealment of a shooter, it is designed to mitigate the muzzle flash which can render you unable to see in low-light conditions. It is designed to protect the shooter's own low-light vision against the muzzle flash just as much as anything else. |

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if you're posting an ad on a gun forum, you'll always benefit from providing more data and information about your product.....if your prodact is truly good. There is too much information and people (with too much knowledge) on the internet to get away w some magazine-type or store-type ad. The companies that master the information exchange AND also provide a good product will be the successful companies. I happen to like the idea of a company focusing on titanium parts. Its an open market w little competition (sort of). Plus people who are interested in trimming a tenth of an oz in weight are definitely the people who want more data. I hope this company learns to master the information exchange w the customers. This first ad could be better, in that regard. |

Thanks, Mike DS Arms I'm also interested, but only if it's clear what the parts are actually made of. I think people value price and quality over whether someone slaps "HGT" or "LifeCoat" or something similarly arbitrary on a product. But as long as you also prominently state what the actual materials/processes are, I think you'll be fine. I used to buy Adams Arms products until they started calling everything "LifeCoat". If I'm looking for a part, I already know what I want. So if I go to AA's website to see if their bolts are melonited, and it just says they use "LifeCoat" or whatever, they've just made it more difficult for me to buy from them because now I need to figure out if that means melonited (assuming they'll even tell me). Thankfully plenty of other manufacturers are happy to use terms that everyone already knows and understands, and I'm happy to spend my money with them instead. So as someone who's looking forward to seeing what you come out with, I hope you don't go down the same path and call everything "HGT" without also being clear about what it actually is. Quoted:

That's what I'm saying. However I was under the impression that the AA process was a little different as they use nickel in their process, which I don't think the regular melonite QPQ uses. Who knows. I would respect grade 5 titanium more than a term I've never heard. A wheel is a wheel, not a circulat rotationary device. Just saying. Sometimes reinventing the wheel isn't always the best choice. |

Just curious why? Would be heavier and more expensive than Alluminum options on the market or the polymer Strike Industries dust cover. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Please make a Titanium dust cover. Just curious why? Would be heavier and more expensive than Alluminum options on the market or the polymer Strike Industries dust cover. True it probably would, but it would just add to the Ti bling :P |

I just recieved a set of your Ti Takedown/pivot pins, thank you for making such a nice Ti product that isnt fancy, but just mimics the standard pins, while allowing for a weight reduction and Titanium accent :)

Yes. A2 FH is actually a very good muzzle device. I've never drilled titanium. Quick google search shows you need very good bits, firm/steady pressure (Ti work hardens), and coolant. Not drilling a weld and pin hole on an extended FH is a mistake DSA. its easy enough to drill your own. Good luck welding though. |

Silly question - why use Titanium aside from the weight?

Weight is the biggest reason for selecting Ti but Ti is still very strong and very corrosion resistant.

I have a lot of V7s doors, but they lack the raised shelf to keep it from hitting the lower during u/l reassembly and it adds a step over the mil-spec design. Please accommodate for this.  Deep black anodize would be great!

I dont care what people use. I just figured there are more target/competition shooters that want reduced recoil than guys out at night/ using night vision. I don't have muzzle brakes on any of my AR15s or my .260 Rem. I have a lot of AR15s. I shoot a lot. My default muzzle device is the A2. I can do the 1-5 drill cold turkey in under 3 seconds. I don't need a muzzle brake. |

I don't need a muzzle brake. I haven't shot near as much as you but have grown to hate muzzle brakes. The noise and concussion is just annoying. Unless they are necessary like on 50's or big magnums I try to stay away from them. I really want to try a can for my 50 so I can fix the noise issue on it. |

My titanium muzzle device was pre drilled and my gunsmith used steel pin instead of titanium to weld. According to him the steel welded to the titanium. |

Why not a comp that actually works? Expensive version of what everyone can't wait to get off of their rifle seems silly to me me personally, I like the A2 I got one from v7 ands its great, I tried using a vortex and a lantac and liked how the a2 worked better kept me on target easier |

Standard/Enhanced charging handle latch in Ti?

We are working on additional small parts now and looking into different parts as well. Nothing solid on a standard latch though, as it is aluminum already there is not a whole lot of weight to be saved. WE are working on our Extended latch design and are looking into a titanium variant of it.
We will have a gas block on the site in the next day or two for $59.95 We will also have black Ti parts in the next two weeks on the site. Thanks, Mike DSArms |
