I wanted to give a quick congratulations to Buck with the release of his new product, the Mossie Tactics 2400 FSB light mount. I did a write up of this item for Military Times, and what really stood out to me was how simple and effective this little beast is. It gives a Surefire X300 or similar light a 12 o’clock mount position, and extends the light reducing shadowing off the barrel.
Installation is about as difficult as loading your magazine. If you can’t slide the mount over the FSB and tighten two screws, you shouldn’t be using weapons, driving a car, or operating your iPhone. It really is that simple.
Mossie Tactics teamed up with Battle Comp for this product, which makes sense given the distribution network and production capacity of BC.
This looks interesting. I see this being a winner, especially paired with a Centurion Arms Mid-length cutout rail. You get the advantages of the FSP rail, without the extra weight (not that it’s probably very much).
Just received mine for T&E and so far I’m impressed though not suprised as BC makes quality gear and Buck has a solid design. I’m looking forward to putting it through its paces soon.
Stick have you shot it much on a SBR? Mine is mounted on my work gun (11.5 BCM) and I was wondering about carbon buildup and such.
Thank you for the kind words and the awesome pictures… I really put a lot of time and effort into the design… It is very easy to install, but there was quite a bit of engineering to get it that way… It will firmly mate up to the FSB of everything from a 1967 M16A1 to a current production M4A1, and it will not walk off with vibration during the heating and cooling cycles of full auto fire…
The one piece design makes it very strong, much stronger and smaller than two piece designs that are only as strong as the threads in the screws. Once it is in place you would have to break the 6061 T6 side clamping arms to get it off…
The method of tightening the set screws bottom then top creates a camming action that greatly increases the force on the clamping arms and also allows you to perfectly align the mount with your barrel…
There is a lot more, but those are the highlights…
This mount is a native to M4Carbine.net, and although I do moderate here, I also learn things as I read all of your posts… M4Carbine was an invaluable resource to me during the design of the MMM, and I owe a debt of thanks to all of the Membership, Moderators, and Staff…
Evidently I did a disservice with my images as I have someone elsewhere posting that it looks like you could “risk losing a finger”.
I’ll have to shoot more pictures to satisfy a certain group of people. I am dumbfounded that someone could jump to that conclusion, but perhaps there was something I wrote or an image angle that lead this person to imagine this.
More pictures to follow… and for immediate clarification, THERE IS NO RISK OF SHOOTING YOUR FINGER OFF UNLESS YOU POSSESS NEGATIVE WEAPON HANDLING SKILLS.
No, I received this one, did some dryfire, and then wrote up the release for Military Times. I should get trigger time with it tonight hopefully. Doing dryfire building searches this works very well, but no live fire as of yet for me.
They will be available exclusively through Battle Comp Enterprises and their authorized dealers… If you have a Battle Comp Dealer in Canada, they should be able to order directly from Battle Comp or one of their distributors…
One other thing I forgot to mention… It has a uniquely designed slot to accept an X300, TLR1, Streamlight M3, or insight Procyon with the same adapter that you would use for a Glock pistol. Even though all of those lights have very different latches, it will work with all of them with no fore / aft movement… The mount shields the light from most of the heat and during testing, even with sustained full auto fire, there were no movement or heat transfer issues…
