AR15 lights

[stephen87]

My reasoning for not getting another TLR is very simple. Every time I put my rifle down, the light rests up against something and pushes the rocker arm to turn it on. I have to move it around instead of tossing it inside. It's done it multiple times. I would prefer to get away from the rocker arm.

Im also looking for a light for my AR, Ive got a TLR-1 for my sig and ive mounted it on my AR and dont like it. After alot of reasearch I think the Surefire M300 on a HSP drong wing mount is the way to go. Now to actually get the money around.

They make a plastic shroud you can put on your light to keep that from happening

I've used a few different configurations. Here are a few of my favorites and why:

1. Either a Surefire P2x Fury or G2x in a Gear Sector offset mount at 11:00. Doesn't take up a lot of real estate, easily accessed by thumb during both strong and support hand firing. And you can remove it to use it just as easily as a hand held.
2. WML mounted in front of front BUIS at 12:00. An 11:00 mounting feels very ergonomic, but not very feasible when shooting support side. WMLs also have a battery drainage issue. So you have to unscrew the head during storage if you want the battery to last. I see this as a major downfall.
3. Surefire Scout with tapeswitch. The quality is undeniable, but comes at a price. But not as feasible if you need to take it off and use it as a hand held. Also, the tape switch can take up a decent amount of real estate depending on the length of your handguard.




Also, on the surefire handhelds, I much prefer the 'Tactical' models so that I can use the momentary and always have control of the beam.

I had a Surefire 6px pro on my SBR but it liked to change between settings every time you pulled the trigger. So, the pro became my handheld and I got the 6px defender. Problem solved. Works great on my .308 SBR.

Options; there are plenty...

Inforce with a TangoDown FFA. The FFA is designed for a Surefire X300 (NOT the Ultra), but unlike the X300, you can change the battery in the Inforce without removing the FFA.

Another vote for the Inforce WMLx.

Glad to hear the recommendations for the Inforce, that's what I've been eyeing for my SBR
