Anyone have any experience with the Aimpoint TNP mount? I am using the QRP now. I don't like the big knob but it is handy.
Art. No. 12197 Torsion Nut Picatinny (MIL-STD 1913) Mount. Fits Comp M4 and Ring Base & Top. This is not a Quick Release mount. Screws and Allen key included.

Why run this when the QRP is available. No big knob on the side. More permanent. I use the QRP on my PRO (along with that forward adapter), being I'd like to pull it off if I really needed to. My Aimpoint 3x magnifier is in a LaRue mount, being I really didn't want/like the twist mount. Again, easy to remove if I needed to yank it off. |

Permanent as in not QD... Quoted:

That doesn't look very "permanent" to me. If you want permanent get a LaRue or Bobro. If you don't want to spend that type of money, stick with the QRP Permanent as in not QD... I figured that much... my point was that a QD like large/bobro will never come off unless you purposely take it off. That thing on the other hand... will probably come loose on its own eventually. |

Only reason for something to loosen by itself is incorrect installation... namely Loctite. Sorry, but all screws on optics/mounts should be done in blue (red if you are really sure you aren't removing it), and you really won't have issues. You don't Loctite QD mounts. If I were installing an optic that I'd never remove, why have that huge knob hanging off the rifle? The QRP has never came loose on my AR, so it is a moot point. The original question that was raised was why this verses the QRP. Some people don't want QD, and that one isn't. |

The TNP looks to be fairly uncluttered and I don't think it will come loose if I use a little blue Loctite. I have not made up my mind yet if it's worth fooling with but, it is an Aimpoint product. Thanks again for the replies. |

Thanks again for the replies. For non qd it will work great. Degrease, blue loctite, witness mark ... It will never come off accidentally |
