The titanium version of the Helios QD and originally designed for the 5.56 NATO belt-fed M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, the CGS Helios QD Ti is incorporates industry leading features. Manufactured with DMLS (3D Printed) titanium and coated inside and out creates a simple package that is more durable than other titanium cans. The DMLS process builds the complex gas flow path up layer by layer, meaning this design has no welds, and this eliminates a common weakness in other designs. Another key element to the Helios QD is the overbore design, which reduces back pressure. This allows shooters to use the Helios on any caliber up to .300 Norma Mag. Tapered threads help prevent carbon locking of end caps. A unique, patented "Vary Core Diameter" helps minimize flash while and achieve superior sound reduction for its size. In addition to a hard case, the Helios QD comes with both 1/2X28 and 5/8X24 threaded rear caps, vented and solid front caps, and a 1.375X24 adapter ring which accepts many different QD mounting solutions. It has been coated outside with PVD Black DLC. The internal surfaces have been coated with SX Line or Hexagonal Boron Nitride which helps reduce fouling buildup to a minimum while also prolonging the life of the silencer and helping to reduce sparking common on many titanium silencers.
If you are looking for a hard use variant of this silencer, look at the Inconel version.
With 5.56, the Helios QD Ti is extremely low back pressure due to the generous bore. This also allows it to be used on larger calibers, all the way up to 300 Norma mag. The "Bravo" or "Omega" mounting thread pitch (1.375x24) accepts a number of mounting solutions. While it comes with both 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 direct thread mounts, it can utilize almost every mounting system currently available. The front caps are interchangeable as well. The CGS Helios QD Ti ships with a sealed cap for maximum sound suppression, as well as a ported cap to reduce blowback if needed.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED ITEM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Suppressor page for more details.
