Griffin Armament Paladin 2 Port Taper Mount — .22 Cal, 1/2"-28 tpi, 1.88" — 17-4 Stainless Steel, Black Melonite / QPQ | TMPB22C1228 (UPC 791154083659)

Upgrade the muzzle end of your rimfire build with the Griffin Armament Paladin 2 Port Taper Mount — a precision-machined, purpose-built taper mount engineered to deliver consistent alignment, rock-solid lockup, and long-term durability for .22 caliber pistols and rifles using 1/2"-28 threads. Whether you’re pairing it with the Paladin 2 series or using it as a high-quality taper mount for other compatible rimfire accessories, this mount blends corrosion-resistant metallurgy, refined finishing, and real-world functionality into one compact package.

Engineered for precision: why the Paladin 2 Taper Mount matters

The Paladin 2 taper mount is designed to solve one simple problem shooters care deeply about: repeatable, concentric muzzle alignment. Poor alignment causes baffle strikes, degraded accuracy, and reliability issues when attaching muzzle devices or rimfire suppressors. Manufactured from 17-4 stainless steel and finished in a durable Black Melonite / QPQ treatment, this mount resists wear and corrosion while maintaining the dimensional stability required for safe, repeatable use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Caliber: .22 (designed for .22 cal barrels and accessories)

• Threading: 1/2"-28 tpi — standard rimfire thread pitch for widespread compatibility

• Overall Length: 1.88" — compact profile that minimizes added length while providing reliable engagement

• Material: 17-4 stainless steel — high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy engineered for longevity

• Finish: Black Melonite / QPQ — hardened surface treatment for superior wear resistance and low reflectivity

• Porting: 2-port taper design — helps redirect gas and reduce muzzle rise while maintaining a slim envelope

• Part Number / Model: TMPB22C1228

• UPC: 791154083659

Performance & Practical Advantages

• Superior concentricity: Precision machining keeps the bore-to-mount alignment tight, minimizing risk of baffle strikes when using suppressors or quick-attach mounts.

• Repeatable lockup: The taper geometry and thread engagement ensure secure, repeatable installation for consistent point-of-impact and reliable accessory attachment.

• Reduced muzzle rise: The two-port taper helps mitigate felt recoil and muzzle flip on rimfire platforms for faster follow-up shots.

• Durable finish: Black Melonite / QPQ increases surface hardness, resists corrosion from the elements and solvents, and reduces glare for tactical or range use.

• OEM-level fit & finish: Designed to meet Griffin Armament’s tight tolerances for performance and longevity.

Compatibility & Use Cases

• Works with .22 caliber barrels threaded 1/2"-28 tpi.

• Ideal for shooters mounting the Griffin Armament Paladin 2 series or similar taper-mount suppressors and devices.

• Great for rimfire competition shooters, trainers, precision plinkers, and anyone who wants a robust, low-profile mount for a .22 build.

• Compatible with a wide array of rimfire pistols and rifles that use the 1/2"-28 standard — always verify barrel threading and clearance before installation.

Installation & Fitment Tips

1. Verify threads: Confirm your barrel is threaded 1/2"-28 before attempting installation.

2. Use correct torque: Hand-start the mount, then torque to manufacturer recommended values using the proper tools. Avoid over-torquing which can damage threads or the mount.

3. Alignment check: After installation, verify concentricity with installed accessories and perform a live-fire check at the range to ensure safe, consistent operation.

4. Loctite/security: Follow Griffin’s guidance regarding threadlocker or locking devices if using with quick-attach suppressors — some setups require specific retention methods.

5. Bore clearance: Ensure baffle/suppressor clearance to prevent contact; the secure, concentric fit of this mount reduces but does not eliminate the need for confirmation.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe exterior surfaces clean after use with standard gun-cleaning solvents and a cloth.

• Inspect threads periodically for wear or damage and clean threads with a soft brush to remove carbon or debris.

• Avoid harsh abrasives that can remove protective finishes. Lightly oil mating threads during long-term storage to prevent corrosion.

• If finish shows wear from frequent suppressor attachment/removal, a qualified armorer can reapply protective treatments or advise on replacement intervals.

Safety & Legal Notes

• Always follow safe firearm handling practices. Only install muzzle devices or mounts on unloaded firearms and follow manufacturer installation instructions.

• Confirm local, state, and federal laws regarding muzzle devices, suppressors, and associated accessories before purchasing or using them in your jurisdiction.
