Frequently asked questions

Griffin Armament was founded by two military veterans who wanted to build suppressors and parts that met the demands of real-world combat. Their hands-on experience in tactical environments inspired the creation of modular, high-performance weapon components that are now trusted by shooters across military, LE, and civilian markets.

What are the most popular Griffin Armament products?

Are Griffin Armament products compatible with standard AR platforms?

Yes. Griffin parts and uppers are compatible with mil-spec AR-15 receivers and components. Their modular muzzle devices and suppressors also integrate with standard threading and rail systems for seamless customization.

What’s the advantage of Griffin QD systems over traditional suppressor mounts?

Griffin’s QD (Quick Detach) systems allow fast, secure mounting and removal of suppressors without tools. They reduce carbon lock, improve alignment, and offer excellent return-to-zero, making them ideal for tactical users and high-round-count shooters.

How do I maintain Griffin suppressors and components?

Griffin suppressors are designed for easy cleaning with removable baffles on select models. Use non-abrasive solvents and brushes to remove carbon buildup. Regular inspection of mounting surfaces and threads ensures long-term reliability.
