I plan on ordering an Optimus soon (hopefully). I will use the minimalist brake on my .308 bolt action. I want to use a Taper Mount Flash Comp on my SBR. For this setup, do I also need to order the Taper Mount Minimalist Blast Shield?
Taper Mount Flash Comp http://www.griffinarmament.com/Taper-Mount-Flash-Comp-p/tmfc.htm Taper Mount Minimalist Blast Shield http://www.griffinarmament.com/Griffin-Armament-Taper-Mount-Blast-Shield-p/gammbs.htm From what I have been reading, I will need the blast shield to use with the Taper Mount Flash Comp and the Optimus. What is confusing me is the following part of the blast shield description: The Minimalist blast shield can also convert the Optimus silencer to a 7.9" 15.7 ounce mid size taper mount configuration compatible with minimalist taper mount muzzle devices only. In the blast shield configuration, the minimalist brake shield is compatible with all taper mount muzzle devices. The two bolded statements seem to conflict with each other. |

Quoted:
As far as I understand, only the minimalist muzzle brake and flash suppressor work with the midsize/minimalist blast shield optimus configuration. You can use any size taper mount muzzle device with the full size rifle extension, I think. Correct, and when you are using those taper mounts as blast shields they have a hole in front and are both compatible with the entire taper mount line. |

Just placed my order. Now I'll have to wait twice. First wait will be for Griffin Armament to make some more Optimus suppressors to send to the Silencer Shop and the second will be for the Form 4 approval. Hopefully I'll get mine around August, maybe? Did your optimus come in? I just got the email with serial yesterday
