Adding more crap on that AR young man?

Nope, just getting a better charging handle. Actually I don't have much crap on the AR. Just a sling and troy BUIS.

You need a light and a bayonet.

That's more like a pistol light, not sure how good it is for long range rifle shooting.

suggestions for light then? under 300?

Im not saying it's a bad light, you would just have to see how much throw it has depending on how far you want to shoot with your gun.

It's probably designed for handgun range so maybe about 25 yards or so.

So maybe something like this would be better?

That's a 120 lumens light, the TLR1 is 160 lumens so it's even less powerful.

I guess it depends what you want to do with the gun I guess.
Both those lights are probably good enough to ID a target outside at 25 yards and plenty bright to use inside a house.
It also depends on how much throw they have and not just the lumen outputs.

It's not just the light you use to see a target at 100 yards, but lights that can do that are really big and heavy.

Im not an expert on lights nor im I an expert on rifles though.

Target ident out to 50 yards would be great. But I guess I can ask for 25 at best.

BTW I want to use this for coyote hunting, SHTF, and HD

Like I said it also depends on the throw of the light.I have seen 250 lumens lights that dont throw light that far away but that are great area lights with a large light beam.
Area lights are great for indoor use to see a large portion of a room all at once, thrower lights have much smaller beams but can iluminate a target farther away regardless of the lumen output.

It's not because it has the more lumens or the highest price that it's the best light for you.
It all depends what you're looking for.

The makers usually tell you how much of a light throw the light has but it's usually BS.
Like they tell you 50 yards and you can barely ID a person at 25 yards.

Just like their runtime and lumen output are usually off.
