New to the Nelli' fam here. Hoping for the same here. I do like both designs but am apprehensive to pull the trigger on one and be disappointed. I am using for HD and range duty so I am willing to accept a minor weight penalty to have light with high lumen value.

[Hookster]

Welcome to the forum Da Krack3n !!!! I'll post review and pics as soon as I have one in hand

 

Later,

Love my state...hate my gun laws

Thanks Hookster.

Did Scott modify the original design to incorporate the sling mount? Or is it identical to previous?

 

Any word on when you will get yours delivered and post pictures?

 

cheers,

Hey Case!

 

As far as I know they expect to be ready to ship anytime! The free shipping offer I signed up for is good until the 21st so I would expect it would be before that! I haven't seen pics of the new design but Scott indicated that the sling mount was going

to be integrated as opposed to an additional add on. I'm supposed to get an email notification as soon as they are available and I will post a notice in this thread. Pics as soon as I have one in hand!!!

 

Take Care,

Hey All,

 

For anyone interested the CDM BMT clamp is in stock, I just ordered one with the 3 slot rail, a 6 slot rail and the swivel kit to play around with mounting options using a Surefire X300. I've also ordered a Surefire G2x Tactical, click on tailcap and red filters to try out Calviroman's light setup. The CDM Mod-C mount for the G2x is supposed to be available the first week of October and I'll be ordering one as soon as they're in. I will post pics and reviews of the light mounting solutions I have in mind once everything is in hand.

Hey All,

 

I received the BMT clamp yesterday, I will get around to playing with it seriously this weekend and report back with a review and pics. My initial impression is very good in terms of weight and overall quality. I did a quick mount up with a Streamlight TLR-1 and the 6 slot rail and I think it will work well. I still plan to get the CDM Mod-C as soon as they are available (ETA 1st week of Oct.) to try out options using the Surefire G2x

 

Only bummer was that I'd ordered it with the swivel and they forgot to include it in the shipment but I've e-mailed them so hopefully they will rectify in a timely manner

Hey Hookster,

 

Sorry again for the slow response to your IM. Here's a pic of my former BMT MOD-C setup. I sold it for a few reasons, including I disliked having to bust out an allen wrench to field strip, I had trouble actuating the light well under stress, and the QD sling receiver placement was not all that great for a right hander. I'd really like to see pics of your new setup:

Thanks for the pics Calviroman!!!

 

I agree about the sling issue.... My goal is to have a lightweight setup that will mount the light on the right side of the weapon and still have acceptable ergonomics for actuating the switch. I know that with a left side mounting it would be easier to have good ergonomic switch control but it's hard to get around the conflict between a light and sling both being on the left side. The field stripping will, of course, be a bit more involved, but for now that's an inconveniance I am willing to take on to achieve my main goal...We'll see how it goes!

 

BTW...I heard back from Scott at CDM, they're shipping my swivel in the AM and the MOD-C should be available on Sunday....

Wouldnt this scratch your barrell over time?

[calviroman]

YES it did! After I noticed it starting to scratch the barrel/mag...I wrapped the area where the mount contacted in black electrical tape. Some time later the manufacturer started shipping the mounts with clear poly pads to protect the finish. I sold mine off a few months back to a board member. I still feel its a great mount option but just not quite right for me. I do run weaponlights on all my AR's (Surefire X300's at 12 O'clock at top/forward part of rail near muzzle device...which works awesome for me.

I received the poly pads that Cal mentioned with mine....We'll see how well they work

[Hookster]

Hey All,

 

I got the email from Scott at CDM today that the new MOD-C mount is also now in stock. The new one also has integrated swivel recepticle as opppssed to an add on piece.

I placed my order for one but I'm still waiting also for my Surefire G2X Tactical and accessories from LA Police to arrive to try it out with.

 

On the CDM BMT front.... I took some pics earlier today and will get them posted tomorrow along with some comments.

Thanks Hookster. I am looking forward to the photos. The light mount is the last thing I'm shopping right now.

OK Case!!... Here we go....

 

Here why I got the 6 slot rail, I wanted to get the light mounted further back than the 3 slot would allow. The light here is a TLR-1 with the remote switch tailcap which is slightly longer than the standard toggle so it gets the switch back a hair more

 

Here it is with no light showing the rail mounted in the off-set position

 

[Hookster]

I think if someone wanted to machine a shim you could get it back a bit further too but as it is it sits fairly low profile to the barrel and mag tube as seen here

 

 

 

 

 

[Hookster]

Here it is with the Surefire X300 which doesn't position the switch quite as far back as the Streamlight but it still isn't bad ergonomically

 

[Hookster]

I was a little twisted around here to get the picture but this shows hand poition for fingertip activation. I'm happy enough with the ergos

 

[Hookster]

Here's the QD sling swivel side which is now integrated in the mount
