roger1 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Im looking to mount a light on my M4 but dont want to add too much extra weight to it. Im a fan of surefire products and I know they build quality stuff, but Im not so sure about spending over 200 bucks for something that I will only use to mount a light. I dont have a need or use for the rail at 6 and 3 o'clock. The only other thing I could think of would be adding a magpul AFG. Ive seen some mounts for other shotguns that clamp between the barrel and magazine tube and have a small section of pic rail. anybody have one of these and care to chime in on how you like it ? Is the light still pretty easy to reach with your support hand thumb or is it more inconvenient having to **** your grip ? any input would be much appreciated.

Super Dak© Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I've got a Nordic Components bbl/tube clamp with a single rail (you can put the rail on either side or get two rails) and mounted a Surefire X300. I also used the XT07 remote switch and I really like the setup. The switch is right where my thumb sits, has two switches (ON and a pressure pad) plus retains the regular light switches. I went with the NC clamp (and the X300) 'cus with the 14" bbl I was really limited on space, but there's plenty of different clamps that would do the job for you. There's a few more pics in my "albums" section. Just an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calviroman Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 BLAM4 or BMT MOD-C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tessellated Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 BLAM4 or BMT MOD-C I'll second the BLAM4 recommendation. I use that in combination with a Surefire X300 on my M4. Extremely lightweight and functional. The positioning of the light is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger1 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 thanks for the replies. I ended up going with the BMT mount as it seems to me that it offers more robust and secure mount. ill post some pics up nice I get it in the mail.

BM4robbins Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 BMT is stable, but unlike the rest of the gun, introduces the need for a wrench to field strip and clean. The BLAM4 keeps the mount crofton recommended at the forefront in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 BLAM4 Mount. It isn't perfect, but it is the cheapest, lightest and simplest solution for mounting a weapon light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger you took your M80 off also I see. I did also and now have no where to put my X400. you picture looks clean but will it hold zero for my laser? or would you suggest the BMT?
