Griffin Armament Taper Mount Minimalist Flash Hider Suppressor Mount - Stainless Steel Nitride

The Griffin Armament Taper Mount Minimalist Flash Hider is a lightweight suppressor mount designed for shooters running Griffin's RECCE, PALADIN, Sportsman, or Optimus series suppressors. If you're building a suppressed rifle and want to minimize muzzle-end weight without sacrificing durability or performance, this stainless steel mount delivers a rugged interface that locks up tight and stays repeatable shot after shot. Available in multiple thread pitches and caliber configurations—from 5.56mm and 9mm to .30 caliber—it adapts to your barrel, not the other way around.

Built from 17-4 PH stainless steel with a Melonite finish, this mount is engineered to handle serious use. The three flash-suppressing tines incorporate anti-resonance flutes that kill the ringing vibration most suppressor mounts suffer under fire. At just 2.9 ounces, it's roughly 40% lighter than comparable flash hider mounts, which means less mass hanging off your barrel and a more responsive gun in your hands. The taper interface ensures a solid, repeatable lock-up with minimal point-of-impact shift between suppressor and gun—critical if you're shooting groups or hunting at distance. Installation is straightforward: it doesn't require timing, so you can thread it on and get to work.

This mount is compatible with the Optimus 9 Mid-Size configuration and the Optimus Micro with taper extension, giving you flexibility in suppressor selection. If you ever need to run your rifle unsuppressed, a Griffin Taper Mount Thread Protector keeps the muzzle threads clean and protected. Choose your thread pitch and caliber from the options listed to match your barrel spec.
