MOE Carbine handguard light mounts

[Straight Shooter]

Wondering what yall recommend..Im having a booger of a time finding any I like. Ill be using Surefire 6P's, btw.
Looking for preferably 11:00-1:00 mounts, but Ill consider 9:00 & 3:00 also.

I use the Vltor Scout Mount on my MOE Handguards. It holds my 6p at about the 9:30, position.

That looks like a better option for me.

The Vltor works well. But I think I would like the light a little farther forward. Like this one;

I just got it and am very happy with it.

Love the forward position and how closely it mounts to the guards.

I've been using this mount with a Surefire G2 at 1 o'clock (using a MagPul bolt on rail):

It's inexpensive and lightweight but I am exploring other options. The only thing I definitely didn't like about the Viking mount is that the inner sleeve is a bitch to get out without scarring it.

Thanks very much for all the answers so far.
I had not seen some of these before.
Keep chiming in all you want fellas.

I was using the Midwest Industries FSB rail with a VTAC mount. It worked, but positioned the light too high.

I have since went to using a MOE hand guard with the IWC mount-n-slot light mount. This positions the light (Surefire G2x) at the right location for my off hand thumb. When I look through my Aimpoint T-1, I don't see the light in my field of view. The mount is solid yet simplistic in it's design. I am currently using this setup on my Patrol Rifle at work. Put a dab of blue loc tite on the threads when installing the mount and you're good to go.

I was shocked when I first tried the MOE hand guard. I really like the things. For a non-free floating hand guard, it's hard to beat the price of the MOE. For mounting a light to the MOE hand guard, I'm totally sold on the IWC mounts.

I have one of the Impact mounts also and have had no problems with it as of yet. Good setup.

Take a look at the Elzetta ZFH1500 mount. YMMV

Works great with SF 6P and MOE handguards.

I'm another convert from the Midwest Industries FSB mount to the IWC mount. Lighter weight and I like the positioning of the light tail cap better.

mrbieler-
Thats a sweet looking set-up, Im gonna really look into this for my rifle. Thanks for the great pic!!

[NoveskeFan]

I have the same as mrbieler, and would say it is pretty much perfect.

any problems running a G2X on an AR? just got the IWC mount w/ G2X and i'm going to be upset if the G2X doesn't hold up to AR recoil...

Check out Surefire's warning on the G2X/6PX package (lower right):

dang it.... guess i'll run it till it breaks, only $60 any way

The IWC mount is a solid product. I just cant stand having the light in the 10:00 position. I cant seem to get my eyes to adjust to it.

I tried the Elzetta mount on a .625 diameter barrel. No go. It wont mount solidly on that barrel.

I ended up putting the light in a figure 8 mount from M&A parts. I used a shim to fit it to the barrel.

Dang bro, I bought the IWC mount and saw the specs on the G2X and thought "Can't go wrong with a Surefire.". Never even noticed the warning on the back. I have about 120 rounds using the light on and haven't had any problems yet, but sorry for the bad advice on the light.

[Beat Trash]

So far, I've only got about 750 rounds through my gun since I mounted a G2X in a IWC light mount. So far, the light is still working.

I've had my G2L mounted in a very cheap (under $20) GG&G G2 flashlight mount and love it. only fired a few hundred rounds with it mounted in the last year but held up PERFECT and weighs next to nothing. *very nicely made*

(I do take my light off for like daytime range shooting but i added a 3 slot MOE rail so it just pops on and back off with a twist of a screw)
