It is the HLX.
-
Yes sir. I think I will give one a try. I had the M300 scout on the Beretta LTT 1301 and it was in great position, but ate my thumb up a few times.
I have the Streamlight on the M4 with IWC mount with the tape switch and I will leave it there until it gives me a reason to take it off. I like the pattern it throws.
I did buy a modlite(ouch) and I think I will put it on a rifle. Thats what I did with the SF M300.

Thanks Unobtanium, good to know. Will they work on the Modlite?

I noticed he had a original bezel on his light button. Wonder if he has ran at night. Or used it much,
StangerDanger don't mill those down for the fun of it.
Gloves probably help.

Glad to help. The light looks good! Stay away from the Modlite website!
Did I miss something about Modlite?

That HLx is what I have on now. I put the tape switch on the hand guard. So far it is holding up.
Watch that thumb when shooting. Those bezels will eat you up.

Joeryu,
That's what I was thinking for the shotgun.

Zarz,
Which model do you prefer for shotgun? OKW(1350L/54000ca) or PLHv2(680L/69000ca).

Been keeping an eye on them for quite some time. Was hoping they would come down in price after a while.
Guess I will just have to bite the bullet and try one out.
-
Was quite impressed with the throw on the HLx. Used it right at sunset the other night at the range and it worked great.
Mainly wondered how good tape would last and how it would handle recoil.
I will probably put a scout light on it. Just didn't have a spare one.
I do have a surefire with the dual switch tailcap on a m600df and when using tape switch it does seem dimmer.
-
Do not drill thru on the shell latch when drill and taping. It will weaken. Ask me how I know.
It is aggravating to do. Had a friend in the machine shop do it for me the second time.
-
I used the one that is round and dime size like off my sons Franchi affinity.
I didn't wanted one a little bigger that oem. Not huge. It works really good.
-
I put the Streamlight HLx on my M4 w/IWC mount. Also used the tape switch in the kit.
Never used one of these on an AR. Always use surefire scouts. But I have put a few hundred rounds
since installing and I really like it. Didn't know It would bring down the class level.
Has anyone had a streamlight fail?? This is my first one using a tape switch.
I had first mounted a m300 mini surefire and that bezel ate up my thumb.
Also, if you are going to shoot your gun a lot. Make sure you locktight that IWC mount. It will come loose.

My 1301 LTT has magpul butt stock and handguard and a US made follower.
I think thats the three that was changed out to US made with mag extension.

My sons 3.5 also were pvc/plastic and we did exactly what remarkable suggested. I popped out with a small punch.

Nice

Always waiting on something. Like a kid on Christmas.
Fun when something you forgot about shows up unexpected.

I think OP was talking about his heat shield.
That's like every time someone takes a picture of a gun, someone comments about there feet. LOL

Been down that rabbit hole. There are some nice reasonably priced break barrels out there.
Most .177 are fast and loud. Settled for a Crossman(reproduction) CO2 in .22 that I made a lot of modifications to
boost the power but try stay subsonic. Still kinda loud. Just not like a .22LR.
.22 and .25 cal have quite the punch.
Sometimes on small targets the .177 passes thru and they can go cartwheeling and bouncing off into neighbors yard. LOL
Rangeing your setup is very important. I setup some targets at different positions in the yard to know my drop. This allows for headshots.
My favorite break barrel is an RWS 34 that will shoot one hole at 30yds.
Then there's the PCP world. These are the pre-charged pneumatics. The glorified co2. Fill off of a scuba tank, and can get multiple
high velocity shots with little loss.
But, one of the name brand break barrels at big box stores will do the job. Make sure if you scope that it is an air gun scope. They have a reverse recoil
that will damage a regular scope.

Any reason not to go ahead and get the 7 rnd esstac card? Looks like it would fit nicely.

I installed a 10403 on a field stock and can really tell a difference.
One thing I did to remove and reuse oem screws was to take a ball point pen and unscrew the top
and push on the pointed end of the screw. This will protect point of screw.
Also put enough lube of some kind on screwdriver so inside and hole has lube.
I backed out screws until buttpad came off, then put pen top in end with pressure and pressed out screws.
I used smaller wiha philips that has small shaft(PH2 X 100). Hope that helps.

New Benelli M4 Owner Question

Mine seems to be pretty durable as far as normal use. If something is scraping or rubbing an area it will rub off.
For example, Where my Mesa 8rnd rail/shell holder was mounted(with rubber backing strip). When I removed it, there was small dash marks at top.
I think normal wear and tear on a firearm looks good. Just don't like finish coming off on its on.
Other cerakoted firearms I have, have held up really good. If you want no wear to show, then better go with the blue/black.
