Slippers, I don't know if you care about the market segment but I picked up a 10.5 upper with a FSB and threw a Magpul MOE SL handguard on it. The M-LOK Polymer Cantilever Rail / Light Mount from Magpul kind of sucks for the new SL handguards as it doesn't kick the light out far enough and is bulky. You end up losing the additional length you gain by going with the SL model.
Any thoughts?
The complete lights - Arisaka/Malkoff - are very nice, though mine was pieced together to the same spec as the 300 series above, not purchased complete. It's going to stay on the 45 degree of the KMR rail of my 10.5" SBR, using the excellent Arisaka inline Scount mount. Gets the light out beside the silencer, and mostly forward of the rail, so I have room for my hand on a 9" KMR.

Personally, I'd like to get something like http://www.impactweaponscomponents.c...ht-mount-1-00/ that will work on the below setup. Due to how high and far back from the FSB the front MLOK slot is, IWC's setup would sit too high, and not extend far enough forwards if I were to utilize a MOE to MLOK adapter and IWC's mount.
Edit 1) Ideally, i think I'd like to mount it on the 3:00 side, and use my left thumb over top to hit the tail cap. Or mount on the 9:00 side, and use my left thumb in combo with a VFG or AFG. Magpul's cantilever plus a GG&G ring mount simply don't get high enough or far enough out.
Edit 2) I don't think your upcoming MLOK 1" ring mount will work, since the SL handguard has a ledge as it surrounds the FSB.

I wish they hadn't put that ledge there. It'd be so easy to make a longer version of our inline mount, but adding clearance for that ledge means it would push the light further away from the rail system when used on a KMR or other rail that has 45 degree flats.
