Also wanting to put a tactical light on my mosserg maverick 12 gauge, anybody else have one they did the same thing with?

I have a streamlight TLR-1S on my 870. Got it from amazon for about $100, got the mount and the coiled-cord pressure pad with it too (I can't remember what all the extras costed). It has held up fine for several hundred rounds of assorted loads.

I just ordered an EOTech forend light for my 870. It's much cheaper than the Surefire option but looks nice. EOTech is a good brand.

I got a Nebo on my Saiga 7.62. For around $50 Im very impressed with it. It even has a laser mode and includes clamp mount and pressure switch.

Op you have to understand that a light has to handle the recoil of a 12 gauge. The PP mentioned a light for a 7.62 and a 00 buckshot will have a much larger recoil then that. For the money the TLR-1 or s if you want the strobe cannot be beat

Anybody have pics of these assemblies you're describing? I have been thinking of doing it myself. I would love to see pics of your various setups

Nebo light works well, even after dropping it.

I have and carry a "spiderfire" light which is a Chinese Surefire LED knockoff that runs on 2 CR123 batteries. It's a great EDC light for about $17 and I have a few. It is just as bright as a Surefire 6p and holds up to drops on concrete and being completely submerged.

With that said, I mounted one on my 870 and it lasted 2 shots and blew on the third. If you need a flashlight, some of the cheap(er) ones are ok. If you need a reliable weapon light, spend the money on a good one.

Nebo lights or mounts cannot withstand the recoil of a shotgun. I would suggest a surefire w a Nordic mount.
