This turned out to be a nightmarish amount of work, and two of the receivers had to be scrapped, leaving only 10 completed. They also made a number of other titanium parts, including flash hiders (which this rifle has) and gas blocks (which this one does not). Between the titanium and aluminum parts and the choice of a lightweight configuration, this FAL tips the scale at just UNDER 7.5 pounds (3.4kg). That is a very remarkable achievement, and does so without making sacrifices in durability or features. It is slightly sharper recoiling than a standard 50.00 FAL (which weighs almost 10 pounds \/ 4.5kg), but not uncomfortable at all &mdash; the recoil is less than I had expected.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately DSA does not appear to have any plans to make addition titanium receivers, but this small batch serves as a very cool proof of concept!<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:<br \/>\nweaponsandwar.tv<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2RnZmpGaUpuNDVPUTV1dktiSWVsTFlrYXQtQXxBQ3Jtc0trNkRLSllKY2Nha2p3bm1yWVhvVXFMMFJDM19fR1FpMUo0Y0haMVlKZUFnRzFLaHZxSExldTB2enkxbTA5MFVZUU11LWUzU0N6NXVwdkNWRkNqa25ZRlRNdW9tekk5V18zZzJEX1NMeUlTV0pUOXpyMA&#038;q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.floatplane.com%2Fchannel%2FForgottenWeapons&#038;v=u0fK9Hi5SA4\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/For&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 28 May 2025 DS Arms got some billet titanium and decided to make a batch of titanium receivers and other parts.
