I really like using the .30 Cal DLASK 1/2" X 28 TPI threaded 7/8" 3 port comps on my M14 shorty builds. Unlike many other designs, these look like they actually belong on the end of a shorty 14, and more importantly, they significantly reduce recoil. For those trying to turn their 14 into some semblance of a CQB rifle, for fast multiple shots with full powered 7.62 NATO spec ammo, significant recoil reduction is critical for any hope of consistent muzzle control.

So all of my shorty 14 builds get this brake.

I asked Joe if he had any plans to make his 7/8" 3 port comps in TITANIUM.

He had no plans for TITANIUM comps in his future, and gave me permission to copy his design in TITANIUM if I wanted to.

So,
I will getting a few TITANIUM comps made up to this design.

Anybody else want one?

Price should be about $ 150 per unit??
Depending on volume I might be able to get it down a bit??

PS: unfinished titanium has a beautiful satin sheen to it, but other finishes, including matt black could be available for a few bucks more.
Personally,
I figure if you got titanium, flaunt it,
and will probably leave the understated elegance of the expensive looking titanium unfinished on my personal comps.

but of course, YPMMV,
and others may prefer more subtle style statements

So who would prefer matte black to raw tit??

You mean like this one? It's a copy of an SEI navy brake with 1/2 28 tpi and it's for sale for $100 shipped

I made it because I could. I have a few lengths of titanium rod not 20 feet from my machine, so I whipped one up one day at lunch. I had thought of putting it on a stainless barrel which is on my wish list for my m14. I have a regular steel one out of 4140 on it now and am very happy with it, although it doesn't get you any friends on the firing line. (unless you let them shoot it)
 
I just made the one for something to do. I was doing some steel ones anyway and just added this to the pile. Titanium is a b##ch to work with and the tap would have to be sharpened every couple of parts.
 
Ugh, I hate the whole titanium fanboy ####. You could make a metal turd out of titanium and the simpletons will fall all over themselves to buy it.
 
I'll get on in titanium when someone makes me a receiver in it as well...

Can't see the use... I'll need to get one... for my shorty (it has a vortex) but I think that will go on one of my Ar's and I'll get a closed one for the M14...
 
Titanium is over rated. Heavier than aluminum, weaker than steel.

You wannaget my money? Build me a m14 chassis system out of magnesium. It's quite a bit lighter than aluminum.
 
Magnesium chasis? I would not trust its integrity under heating. Both strength and high oxidation issues. And you can whittle pieces off with your swiss army knife

I'll go for parts made of niobium, the passivating oxide layer is indestructible and anodize-able to fun colours.
 
Magnesium is anodizable. It is only "flammable" in powder or shavings. Heat treated magnesium is strong enough to be used as wheel hubs in motocross, and car rims in auto racing, so it should easily handle any stresses as an m14 stock or chassis.

Plus it's light. It's density is around 1.6 g/cm^3, aluminum is around 2.6, steel is 7.8.

It would be light.
 
Magnesium is expensive to machine and even hardened is IMHO too soft for small arms applications.

I say polymers offer the best solution for weight savings, heat transfer and comfort.
