    Received the new BAD-EPS set in titanium yesterday, and figured I would update this thread with a few pics and info on them.

    These are made from Titanium versus the original models being made from steel. The Ti models weigh about 45% of the steel version.

    Couple of quick observations....

    1.) I was quite surprised by the difference in weights b/t the two models. So much so that I had three other people around me take the comparison as well....all came to the same conclusion which was that the Ti pins feel significantly lighter to the naked touch. Personally the weight kinda gets lost once installed on a 7-8lb rifle....but for those LW junkies, these are super LW!

    2.) The machine work/quality on these Ti pins is just flawless...unlike any other small part I've seen including previous ones from BAD Inc. Just amazing quality.

    3.) The magnet trick doesn't work with the new Ti model I've found, however install was still a breeze.

    4.) My only suggestion is that I hope in the future they come in black.

    Nice. I'm with you on hoping they come out with black ones. Did they say anything about the different "head" design? Is there any functional importance to the primer looking center?

    Beautiful addition Trident82.

    And that is the KAC trigger guard correct? Oh how I wish I had one of those.

    Duffy said it was done to differentiate the more expensive Ti pins from the steel ones.

    Thanks brother. The trigger guard is a Phase5 winter trigger guard....http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=sho...roduct_id=3856

    Mine's a lot older, and doesn't appear as nice as the newer ones. It reminds me of the old school KAC teardrop trigger guard.

    Phase 5 crossed my mind But thought it might have been the KAC one. Thanks for the link though. I may pick one of those up.

    They will come in black, the coated version has always been a part of the Ti EPS planning.

    The single groove on the large pin head is to differentiate the Ti EPS from its steel brethren. When both versions are black (the uncoated Ti version will be the first to come to market and will stay in the product line), other than the weight difference they're almost identical and difficult to correctly identify quickly.

    The unintended consequence is that it results in what Mercedes Benz does with its AMG Mercedes, higher performance, more expensive and sport slightly different looks
