What are the options for an M4 weapon light?

[The_Dude]

I would like to have something like the surefire 317 or 617 series.

 

I dont care for the picatinny rail styles.

Does not exist unless you want something barrel-mounted.

 

I am getting some parts togather for an M4S90 build again and ordered a Surefire M80, some Magpul railcovers, a Tango Down shorty VFG, and already have a modded Surefire 6P that I plan on running in an in-line mount at the 9 o-clock position. I just placed an order with the guy who builds my LED modules for a 575 OTF lumen XM-L P60 module with a 4000K warm/neutral tint. The XM-L's are new and while I love the SST-50, the XM-L is supposed to be a lot more efficient and have the wonderful tint I love in the XP-G binning. More of a cream-color than a rose-color.

 

Surefire's lights are all outdated. Find mounting hardware and mount your own. The best I think that exists currently is the SFM80 system with a modded 6P like what I plan on attaching. Of course, tint, output, beam profile, run-time, etc. can all be tailored to your liking/purpose. I wanted something to reach out 150+ yards and light up a football field while still giving a half hour or so run-time. You may want more, or less.

I am biased, but I don't think these Surefire setups are outdated !

Did you search? There's plenty on this topic already.

I mounted a rail to the rear barrel ring. That way I can still field strip without tools.

Wonder if an adapter or mod could be performed to use that on an M4??

Me too but they won't make the for the M4. I ended up with an Elzetta.

Did you connect to a magazine extension or the one piece from carrierComp? Also if you have a picture of your setup, certainly would appreciate.

 

Thanks

I've tried a lot of different lighting arrangements with the M4. This is the best one I have come up with.

 

Minimal added weight. Low profile.

Surefire M80

Surefire M600c
