Light weight option for a flash hider taper mount for the griffin armament paladin 5 - Griffin Armament Taper Mount Minimalist Stealth Flash Suppressor

I ordered two of these for AR15 uppers, I had issues with the suppressor getting stuck on the flash hider and having to buy the tool to remove it in a vise. I recommend buying the $20 tool from Griffin Armament's website since it doesn't look like Optics Planet sells them. I have one gripe about these. I didn't find the QPQ finish all that durable. They wear easily when installing with the proper 30lbs of torque. Since it's stainless steel, you can't cold blue them, you'll have to touch up with high-temp engine paint. You might want to run some rock set or red locktite so the mount doesn't screw off with the suppressor. You will not be able to separate the two pieces without the tool, trust me, I tried. I like these because they're light weight, but I still hear the tuning fork ring despite the claim that they don't resonate. I would buy the closed tine version if I had to do it all again or get a comp model instead if I wasn't worried about the extra weight.
