@Evilution Have you been readin' my mind again dangit! Some boards ban you for this. I think Head-case does that. I can understand Toaster wanting to profit from what is now a valuable trigger as it were. But when I've made some profit on something(on other boards) like this situation, I did as you suggest, I took it to Fleabay. Fleabay never helped me with a technical issue, never helped me solve a problem, and it is a "whatever the market will bear" environment. So all's fair. I just don't have the testicular mass to gouge folks who have helped me... To each their own

We should let those Geissele folks know how much we're thinking of them. Show'em some Love. Let'em know their triggers are almost worth their weight in Gold!

Just curious Have you seen the Briley up close?

Mine was New in the package and untouched by Human Hands as well

Man did I mess up! I sold mine to SD for cost...

Definitely no flies on Stranger Danger.

I can use the Elzetta on another gun, I have so little in in them, I don't want to sell them. Thanx for the offer on the machine work. When I decide which SF, I'll circle back to you.

May take you up on that

Thanx for that info, very useful and what I need to know if my Half Fast plan does not work.

I think you are math challenged here. Intellibeam M600 $250 IWC Body $80 if wanted Machine work $$ Ceracoating $$ New AVA MOUNT $$ ============== equals a Bucket of Cash or if my method doesn't work $20 for a Tailcap to put me back right where I am now. I didn't buy cheap **** to begin with... N'est-ce pas? I did invest in what I thought was a nice mount and light. Now you are suggesting a new mount, a NEW FREAKING MOUNT! and an extremely expensive light. Ohhh the horror...

Have you been lookin' in my wallet again...

It's possible I may have to go this route. Just trying to avoid another bucket of $$$ after the current bucket I already blew through and is unusable.

So here's my thinking. I can buy a new tailcap on Ebay usually for around $15-20. I rough up my tailcap with a file so that the adhesive on the tape has some real purchase instead of trying to hold onto Class III anodization. I would rough it up a 90 degree pattern from the expected force direction. The other side of the tape is 80 grit. I really think this should hold. If it doesn't, I'm out $20 to replace the tailcap. I don't know if the tape will add so much diameter where I won't be able to clamp it down though.

Well guys, I have a lot of Elzettas and I am only sacrificing a Tailcap. I basically have no use for the light if it's not mounted on the M4. I also bought it for a song. The light is useless to me as a regular flashlight because I am "one of those light guys" and have a ton of lights. I don't pick up the baby Elzetta to do anything. It was purpose bought for this shotgun and I only have about $45 in it. So I put some texture on it with a file and a bit of tape and no one will even see it. Hopefully it will just turn out to be an Elzetta that no longer takes flight.

I think my plan is to deface the tailcap on the Elzetta with a file to rough it up a bit. Then wrap with some skateboard tape and see if that holds. You think that might work?

I'm confused about how to make these things work since I don't know much about Surefire. I have an original AVA mount. I thought you had to mill off a lot of these lights, the switches were twist on, etc? I don't know if the lugged bodies will work with the original AVA mount. I'm thinking my Elzetta may work with a coating of skateboard tape as well.

Hi Folks, I just shot my M4 with the AVA mount for the first time this week. I have an Elzetta Bravo light which went acrobatic on me after about 5 shells. I'm thinking about replacing with a Surefire 6P or a Malkoff MD2. Will these stay in place and work correctly?

Hey SD, What does the IWC body do for you? I have an Elzetta and am having issues with it. The Elzetta, as strong as it is, has a somewhat thin Tailcap. I think there may be some deformation under the AVA clamp that causes this light to not come on all the time unless I tweek on it a bit. It's also a bit short, so am looking at your surefire deployment here.

I have pretty poor eyesight and like the XS sights. The XS and the Fiberoptic sights are very usable in very dim light and are really viable in bright light. The XS sights I chose were the ones without the Tritium, so they are a Large White dot. This is a Firearm, who needs justification to modify it!

Gotcha! Thanx Guys!

Good information. Sounds like you done this before. How close will the buckshot be to the slugs at 25 yards?

Ahhhh, OK. These are hardcast? I was wondering about Hardcast slugs as a Brown Bear deterrent.

Thanx Gents, that's what I was thinking.

Thanx Folks! What's a DP Slug?

I changed out the sights on my M4. XS on the front and Fiber optic on the rear. What range should I try to zero in at? This is my first shotgun.
