bigairt Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 New to the board and been reading all the discussion on best mounts for the M4. Seems like M80 might have some issues and B&T makes a very good mount. Anybody tried the Mesa Tactical barrel clamp? I can't post the link to the clamp because my post count isn't greater than 5. Check it out on the Mesa Tactical website. Anybody know of any issues? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDiamond Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have a Mesa barrel clamp. The build quality is very good. I am assuming you are wanting to install a light? The pic rail that comes with the clamp can be used to mount a light but I have heard that it tends to extend too far out to the side for some when you add the light bracket and light to the PIC rail. I have used the clamp on a 870 with a light by installing the bracket only on the bottom of the mag tube and inserting a Surefire Chroma in the 2nd slot so that the push button can be activated with the side of the index finger while gripping the forend. I'd imagine you could do this with most barrel clamps given that the flashlight tube diameter permits it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakotah Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have the M80 surefire with an M600 attached to it. It seems to work fine to me. Have about 700 rounds of 00 and Slugs through it. No issues as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anARtoo Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I just put the Mesa barrel clamp on my M4 and used it to mount a Surefire Scout Light for a night shoot last weekend and it worked great. I am very pleased with it since it seemed that after I had placed the order that it didn't appear it was even suppose to fit the M4. I don't think the fit could be any better, so not sure why their web site seems to suggest it does not fit? Oh well, something works that is not suppose to. Nice!
