AR15/M16/M4 Titanium Firing Pin, TiNi Coated

The BHI AR15/M16 Titanium Firing Pin represents a significant upgrade to standard steel AR15/M16 firing pins, and offers several desirable benefits for the dedicated shooter. Most notable is the reduced weight when compared to steel pins. This 40-percent reduction in weight over steel delivers a firing pin which travels faster in the bolt, producing a quicker lock time (the time from the hammer release to primer ignition), thereby minimizing the opportunity for shot disturbance. The reduced weight of Titanium also minimizes the chance of “slam-fire” since it carries less momentum than conventional steel pins.

 

In addition, the BHI AR15/M16 Titanium Firing Pin comes with a hard Titanium Nitride (TiNi) coating. This coating delivers several benefits in terms of performance, durability and maintenance. The hard surface has an inherent lubricity that improves the friction coefficient for quicker, smoother travel through the bolt, resulting in an overall improvement in mechanical efficiency. The TiNi coating is also resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, effectively eliminating galling, fretting and seizing. And thanks to its hard, smooth surface, the firing pin resists fouling buildup and is easier to clean than coarse steel pins.

 

Overall, the BHI AR15/M16 Titanium Firing Pin provides several desirable improvements over standard steel pins, and is a recommended upgrade for anyone looking to extract that next level of performance and durability in their semi-auto platform.
