Benelli M4 light setup

[mr2jeff]

what are your guys best choices for light setups on your m4, I just got a new entry model and I am deciding on what to do with it. I am leaning towards selling their new handguard rail, and either going oem stippled with the IWC scout / sling mount or MI mlok rail.

 

pretty much looking at surefire turbos and modlite

 

what do you guys think of the Modlite OKW-PDW350 on an entry? out front

[mr2jeff]

i was also debating on Modlite PLHv2 18350, short vs long body on the iwc scout mount

 

4 1/8 inch length vs 5 3/8 inch length

 

1 1/4" difference 

 

would the longer body be too close to the barrel?, the shorter looks like it goes just shy of the sight post and tube cap in a pic I saw on here from another user

I have to surefire scout turbo (18650) and I absolutley love it. The light fits great on the Briley 13 handguard and has very little shadowing. I went Surefire just for proven reliabilty purposes.

My setup is on IWC mount, I went with Olight Odin Mini, which is excellent. Small, light, withstands recoil just fine. Comes with magnetically attached and quick snap pad switch if you will ever want to use it and very reasonably priced.

I did a Mounting Solutions Plus Scout Light Mount and an Arisaka 300 Series light.  It looks quite robust and the light with a Malkoff head and it is great.

UPDATE:  this short light is plenty bright for its intended use, but there is quite a bit of splash om the barrel.  The upside is that the front sight is wonderfully illuminated!  A longer light body would mitigate the splash, but the extra ounces may be a deal breaker.

it looks great on there, probably fits perfect on an entry

[mr2jeff]

mostly debating on

 

Midwest industries hand rail vs oem stippled + iwc scout mount

If you decide to sell the og rail I’d be interested
