Unobtanium Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Let us know when you figure out a good way of mounting it. Surefire 6PD+Malkoff M60 should do great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axhoaxho Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) For a really good and bright flashlight, I really like the Surefire M300A Mini Scout Light. It uses one 123A battery, yet with 110 lumens maximum output. It is only 4.5 oz (with battery), which is nice to adding to our already weight-y M4. For mounting, I haven't tried this setup yet, but I am thinking of an 'offset' rail mount (rotate 90 degree so the light will be on the left-or-right side of the M4) to mounting the light on the top-side of the M4 Picatinny rail. With best regards, Edited October 25, 2009 by axhoaxho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Mounting to the top rail will give you a lot of barrel shadow. Plus, how do you intend to activate it? I struggled with this issue for years. I avoided all products because of major failures I found in most designs. Here is what I ended up with: Activation The rubber grip slips back over this. Momentary light control via the right hand. Similar activation control as a CTC laser grip. The Light Surefire Scout Light on a LaRue mount. Attached via a Sidearmor top rail.

StrangerDanger Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2610/3988993659_71edbe8df8_b.jpg The same solution could be used with a Surefire X400 if you wanted a laser also. Momentary control over a weapon light is key to being successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zee10103 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 In A situation if a lamp is needed, I just use a small Mag Light with a strong Rubber Band on my thumb, which is on the Foregrip facing forward. The Rubber Band is already attached to the Mag lamp. When I exit the Car, it only takes a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
