Newbie Light Mistake!

[aclawrence]

Hey guys, I need a little advice on what to do from some of you who are a little more experienced with weapon mounted lights. I have a Daniel Defense rifle with the keymod rail. During Black Friday I gave my parents the link to Cloud Defensive for the Streamlight Pro Tac HXL light and their tape switch mount for a Christmas gift idea. Eagerly this afternoon I go to put it on and realize that I have made a few mistakes in my choice. I guess I didn't realize that the Streamlight mount is integrated into the light housing and is only for 1913 rails. I don't know if I was thinking it came with options for keymod and mlok or if I just had a brain fart. Anyway, I like this light but it looks like I'm going to have to send it back and go for plan B. Do y'all have any recommendations on what I could come up with for around the $140 range.

The 1913 rail connection should come off and you can use a Surefire Scout mlok or keymod mount in its place to secure it to you’re rail. The below pic is from Cloud Defensive.

Sweet your right. The light has an integrated part but the 1913 does come off. I didn’t look closely enough earlier. Thanks, now I will explore my options. Now do ya'll recommend any particular offset scout mounts?

Arisaka makes excellent mounts and this would tuck the light in nicely.

I second the Arisaka. I prefer the inline style.

The inline style may not work unless his DD rail has keymod mounting holes at the 10:30 and 1:30 positions.

This mount will work.
