    Titanium muzzle brake in black color?

    I'm looking at this brake you have here:
    https://truenortharms.com/ar15_default_store_view/probe-flash-hiding-muzzle-brake-1-2-28-5-56-titanium.html

    I really like the lightness of the titanium version, but don't like that it's silver.

    I've seen people coloring titanium by applying heat. Will that affect the strength of the brake? Can you offer a black version of the titanium brake?

    Heating the outside is a way to oxidize/anodize the titanium. You can make a real art of this by varying the time/temperatures and getting different thicknesses of oxide layer which causes different colours. I don't expect it would meaningfully change the material properties if not overdone.

    Haven't tried it with that brake but titanium can be coloured by putting it in a conductive liquid bath like vinegar or salted water and apply varying DC voltages from 20 to 100 ish volts to get different colours (black isn't one of them though).

    I don't expect we'll make a black version of that anytime soon as it's not a big seller.

    I would consider cerakote.
