StrangerDanger Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Surefire M600C on a Thorntail mount attached to the left side of your Surefire M80. It should get the weapon light in just about this position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 First I have heard of this mount, but looks great - Was leaning toward a M600C anyway - thumb actuated or pressure pad ? [ATTACH=CONFIG]1972[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 What about the Surefire L4-VTAC ? - what would be the best mount to the thorntail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 With the thorntail, you could do either a pressure pad or a momentary/constant on tail cap. I'd opt for the momentary/constant on switch. The value of the thorntail over the VTAC is how it pushes the light forward. It'll bring it closer to the muzzle. When holding your forearm, see where your thumb naturally sits. That's pretty much where you would want the momentary/constant on button. With my arm length, that puts my thumb at the very front of the forearm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks for the detailed pics and explanation - I think I'll follow your lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4-Desert Camo Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Surefire X300-U .... plenty bright (500 lumens), compact and has a nice optional tape switch. Get the Larue mount for a great quick release mounting option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Any pics of the X300-U with the Larue mount? I actually have an X300-U and attached it in front of the Magpul angled foregrip on the bottom rail (see pictures below). Had to move the Magpul back too far in order for it to fit and not very ergonomic - I ended up placing the X300-U on my new Springfield XDM pistol where it will stay. Really like the light, and willing to get another - just need ideas for mounting on the M4 [ATTACH=CONFIG]1978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]1979[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]1978[/ATTACH] Edited February 28, 2013 by ChrisC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4-Desert Camo Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Mounted and Unmounted ... on my Briley mag rail. Why not just mount it on your Surefire M80, light on one side, XT07 tape switch on the other? [ATTACH=CONFIG]1982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]1983[/ATTACH] * Sorry, don't know how to make a large pic show up in a post, just select for a larger image.
