alright so i finally ordered a light mount

elzetta
mounts under the front sight base.
accepts any 1" or so diameter flashlight.

i’d rather do one of those X300 pistol lights at 12 o clock… but i ain’t got no rails…

so this will tide me over, cause having a light on your carbine is always better than not. :cool:

I had seen them on Dillon’s product page and thought they looked like the right choice if one doesn’t want to spend LaRue $$$, plus they are quite light weight.

Did you get the regular or the thumb screw attachment, and how convenient (or not) is the operation of your light.

Thanks

got the thumbscrew one. i’m using it on an old school 6Z tactical light. kinda like the newer lights with the grip ring for pistol use. i’ve got it clamped down on the littel rubber washers. seems pretty solid in that regard

i’ve got a light barrel and no bayonet lug though, so the mount to the gun has some play. it’s not like ratting around, but you can move the light up and down a bit.

it works. i’m not 100% satisfied, but for hte money… not bad. if i didn’t have a weird rifle with no bayo lug it would be a tighter fit.
