What QD solutions are available for the Optimus? I bought one today so it's in the NFA jail, but I'd like the QD system for my 22s, then the brakes for my 18"SPR (.223) and 18" R700 in 308.

Any chance Griffin Armament will be selling a pouch or something designed to hold the Optimus and all its components in the future? If not I'm going to start snooping around walmart and hobby stores to try to find something that will work.

A request for clarification - the description on the web page says this comes with a full-size taper mount, but doesn't list a thread pitch like it does for the minimalist mount. Does this mean it's just compatible with full-size taper mounts but I still need to purchase one? If not, which taper mount does it come with, as I don't see one in the pictures that have been released. Trying to figure out what I need to purchase while I wait for my form 4 to get approved, I'll be yanking an AAC 51T mount off a rifle to replace with the appropriate Griffin mount (friend has a 7.62SDN6 I've shot on my rifle).

Need to wrap my head around something, Im approaching the 3 month mark on my F4.
So if I want to run minimalist breaks on my 18"SPR in 223, 16" 300blk, and a RAR in 300blk I'm eyeballing. I can use the mid config. Use a full size taper break for my RPR in 308 with the 20" barrel, and 3 lug my .22s and I should be good to go. Neilson device comes with it for my G17 right? Making sure I get everything in the next couple of months during the wait. Oh, what torque specs do you recommend? |

What are the general thoughts on how to run an AR15?
I've got a couple of 16" guns with A2 flash hiders and a SBR with an A2 flash hider so the A2 adapter looks interesting. The A2 adapter is $175 and add a couple of shim kits at $10 or so per kit I'm at $205 OR I could buy a full size flash comp at $110 for the 16" gun and a stealth minimalist flash hider for the SBR at $85 for about the same price. In addition what are the thoughts on running them mid sized vs full sized vs the A2 adapter. I'm thinking length vs weight vs sound. |

For 9mm carbine would the direct thread taper mount and the minimalist blast shield be a good way to go?
I'm thinking of having it set up so the back of the blast shield is just inside the rail |
|
you could do that if you wanted to. The 1/2x28 direct thread taper mount adapter would fit the minimalist blast shield. so that would work. You would just need to make sure you have 1/2x28 threads on your barrel.

I still haven't received an answer about the 5.56 or 5.45 mininum barrel length. I emailed Griffin but no reply yet.
I've got a 5.45x39 with an 8" barrel . According to their website (5.56 7.5") it should be fine in the full size configuration but their chart says 5.56 10" |

FYI they just replied to my question. Mininum barrel length for 5.56 is 10" Their website was wrong
