Hello everyone,
building my next Ar I was considering giving a try to a titanium gas block (either 2A or B.A.D.). Any of you have ever tried one and could give me his impressions about it? I mean, are they reliable as steel ones? Thank you in advance for your feedback. |

I considered one, but after seeing the videos of the sparks flying from titanium muzzle devices, I figured that some thing would be happening in my gas tube throwing that trash in the action.
The difference in weight between the SLR Ti vs Steel is less than 5 current (Aluminum) pennies and is just didn't seem worth the price difference. Just IMHO OP! |

He didn't mention Titanium muzzle devices at all. Even then, with titanium muzzle devices, the sparks go away after about 500 rdS but are mostly prevalent with 14.5 and below barrel lengths. Nothing happens s with the Titanium gas block with the gases because there is no friction at all. The muzzle device has to do with friction, heat, material, expansion, and gasses which kind of "ignite" |
