Can't find a light solution, need a rail?

[Hellfire]

I wanted to keep my carbine simple, no add ons except a light. Irons, light and sling that's it. BUT I can not find a bomb proof light mount, for a carbine with handguards only. I am now looking at the DD Omega rail 7. Any opinions.?

I don't have one, but they claim to be tough. http://www.elzetta.com/

Larue offset mount with a Surefire 6P and a vertical foregrip. No wires to deal with. Activate with your thumb.

For no rails,

GG&G SLiC mount
MI Front sight base light mount
Even the old school SureFire lights w/ the barrel or FSB mount work well

Have you checked out THIS THREAD?

Whole lotta innovative and viable setups, especially those of rob_s.

Put an Elzetta on my M4gery a few weeks back. Seems okay to me thus far. I am definitely into the KISS mode. Would prefer to use a base cap press switch only but am not about to put on a VFG. So for now it's a tape switch.

Surefire M500?

That Surefire M500A looks nice and simple, replacing the stock upper handguard. Who has one of these? Any opinions?

Like the OP, I don't have rails and would like to keep it simple.

The M500A, while definitely simple and of good quality, is not terribly cost effective. IMHO you'd be better served with a DD Omega rail and a Surefire G2 in the mount of your choosing. The M500A can be found for much less than retail, sometimes as low as $300, but the DD and G2 is about the same cost with more flexibility.
