Griffin Armament‘s upcoming 1 ounce Minimalist Brake is taper mount machined from 6AL4V Titanium. Once it is available, it will be one of the lightest, if not the lightest, suppressor mount on the market. It will be available threaded for 1/2×28 (5.56) and 5/8×24 (7.62).
AR15News.com has designed some great shirts over the years but there were none better than their Independence Day design. As with all AR15News.com shirts, it was a limited run and it sold out quickly. If you purchased one, it is probably your favorite shirt. If you missed it, you are probably still kicking yourself.
Kick yourself no more. It’s back. You can pre-order your Independence Day shirt now at AR15News.com.

I ditched crush washers and peel washers years ago in favor of shims. Crush washers are too easy to install slightly crooked (which is the reason many suppressor manufacturers warn against them for suppressor mounts) and peel washers are just a pain to deal with. Shims, like the new ones from White Sound Defense, go a long way toward ensuring a straight muzzle device install and are very easy to deal with.
The White Sound Defense 5.56 Muzzle Device Shim Kits are unique in that they have a slight cone shape which helps naturally align the entire stack of shims. Each one adjusts the orientation of the muzzle device by about 1/8th of a turn. This has a natural torque setting effect, allowing you to stack your washers until you are within 1/8th a turn of the desired orientation when hand tight and then tighten with a wrench to proper alignment and torque.
