This is incredibly exciting. I know you said you can't say more about the mount itself -- but are you able to give a rough release date? Or what quarter you think you might bring it to market?
say more... I think I've tried every possible light mounting solution out there (and some custom ones) and have yet to find something that's "just right" for me. I want to mount the light further ahead to minimize/eliminate shadow while being able to tuck in as close to the barrel/mag tube as possible (preferably right in between the barrel/tube) for a streamlined look, while being strong enough to take the recoil/beating. Curious to see what you come up with!
I wish I could say more but I’m deep in R&D on a system that is unobtrusive, Will mount the light near the muzzle and comfortably mount a remote switch near the handguard. It also takes down with no tools.
Im not ready to disclose more, and this isn’t a plug, but if you want details in the future you can sign up on my newsletter at www.rxarms.com (I only email out once every few months when new products are available).
Angled to match the stock, with a bias towards the butt pad closer to the side of the case because, well, it's a butt pad. I wouldn't say it's comfortable but it's definitely possible. Probably more so if you angled it completely from corner to corner. So, FWIW this will fit a collapsed M4 and you won't have to pay extra airline fees because the 1700 is just within the limits for large bags for air travel. (62 linear inches) @bigoo7e
