I almost have all the parts for my build. Trying to push the envelope a bit. Based on the handguard, light, and laser I've selected things are getting crowded. I'm not sure how it will balance once fully assembled, but wanted to get some thoughts from others here.
The SF switch will get zip tied most likely - not sure if I'll bother with attaching a rail between it and the handguard. Also, as my research indicated the switch is really designed for an ATPIAL rather than a CQBL. It may need something to ensure it stays put in the laser. It activates it but doesn't feel very secure. This won't be a duty weapon but I don't baby my rifles.
Yes, the laser will be a backup to the optic rather than have BUIS.
The piece securing the light to the handguard is from Magpul and with the light set a little back it just clears the laser. I'd hoped for a side by side mount but it won't fit. I originally planned for the Unity Fusion clamp to mount a light but didn't want to have the light connected to the laser. I'd hate for an impact to the light affecting zero. I'm hoping the configuration here will allow the light to take the bump and minimize impact transfer to the laser.
Still a work in progress and as mentioned, it may change when I get the rifle assembled. Still interested in hearing y'all's thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!
