Tactical flashlight on AR

Hey TDC, not trying to be too picky but that is very similar to the CAA mount, but I believe it is a Cheetah, Basically the exact same just different name with a lower price.
Not sure what Fenix website you are referring (Canada or USA?) to but the Main Fenix site in China dose not list mounts as they don't make them. (yet!)

That's the one! I just checked it out closer, and sure enough, 'Cheetah' on the side.
Not a bombproof mount, but works for me!
I was running a SF Scout light on a 14.5" 6920 mounted at 3 o'clock on a KAC RAS. For most course work it was fine. However I just came off a two day rifle combatives (simunition) course and I had trouble activating the light quickly during link ups. I switched out the scout for a TLR-2 and had no issues after that. Less hang ups on indoor stuff as well.

just my opion..... but i believe that adding a light/ or lazer creates one helluva target for a bad guy to aim for.
...without proper flash techniques and ID, Blue on Blue shootings are a very real possibility, white light is not a negotiable item on a martial firearm.

I wouldn't doubt if they're al made in the same factory under several names, but thanks for that anyway.
Oh, and Frenchyguy, you've been told. Less hollywood and more reality.

They fit in any one inch scope ring.

Assuming you have a quad rail, just about any flashlight with a tail switch mounted in a Daniel Defense 1" offset mount will work. Here's mine in my little bastard.
If you aren't running a VFG, the same setup works quite well mounted upside down on the left side of the handguard.

right now I was thinking of Surefire models M600C Scout Light, X200 or X300 w/ pressure switch, or M951.
I do love the Surefire M900 models but just too pricey.. how are the surefire tape switches any good?
The other option is to go with a set up like AbHobbyist or angryeyebrows is using and just use the tango down battle grip & thumb hold to turn on.

I've seen worst set-ups
What the hell are you talking about.
It worked great. I ended up beating a lot of people on that stage who were running uber cool fancy lights. That's all i had that day and i needed a light.
I'm open for donations.

I used this exact set up overseas. Works great! The only thing was my little battery cap retaining clip thingy went missing and I replaced the junky plastic mounting system with the LaRue one....which is awesome.
Angry:
The more I look at your setup, the more I like it!!
May have to build me one of those with my own special touches!!

Thats not really "MY" set up....sort of the best that I could do with what was issued.

Well that may be true, but I think you did a fantastic job!!
I have a thing for 12" rails, and 16-20" barrels of stout contour.
