method to attach flashlight to M4?

Actually, it was the last message that I had written 4 times before it would take it. This is the 3rd post. But I think I got my answer anyway.

From what I have learned it will fit since other makers will also fit. I'll post a picture in the next reply.

It might work ... depends on the barrel profile (the magtubes should be the same), and the difference in the distance between the barrel and the magtube on the two guns ... worst case scenario, some screws won't be perfectly snug I would guess, unless the barrel profiles are WAYYY different.

 

That said, a weapon mounted that far forward will affect the balance of the gun, and unless you use a remote tapeswitch, you are basically limiting yourself to on/off, which is bad ... but that is a different discussion entirely.

I see what you did there.

I am mounting a nice, very brite and small Nitecore Infinity Defender using a simple mount I found on Ebay with a 25mm x 18mm ring. The mount is two half pices held together by six small allen screws. It fits between the barrel and mag tube, clamping to the mag tube. If you are interested and need more info, just let me know.
