I have two mounts, both VLTOR, one is the offset and the other is the standard one.
Unfortunately, because both the mounts mount the light so close to the rifle, neither one really works with the z32 head because of how huge it is. The only way to get the light to work with the standard mount is to mount it so that the head hangs off the end of the rail. I dont like my light this far forward.
The offset mount interferes with my front MBUS mounted on my rail when I mount the light where i want it (the mbus makes contact with the bezel).
What i ended up doing that works is I mounted the light in the offset mount and mounted it to the top rail, and mounted it far enough back where the bezel is just behind the MBUS. This works for now but, the problem is now the light is too far back and the tail cap is hard to depress with my thumb. I use an 11in rail and use the costa grip (thumb on top of rail). With the light mounted that far back, i cant make contact with the tail cap with out moving my hand back, and turning on the light. This makes quick discharges of light with my thumb/fingers impossible. its pretty much either on or off.
I just thought Id fill yall in on this problem in case anybody is thinking about this combination.
Would a Larue Offset mount fix this problem? will they mount the light a little farther out? What i need is a mount (needs to be offset, i mount my light in the 10 oclock position) that mounts the light just a little farther out than the VLTOR mount. I would prefer it be metal too, so i think that rules out the viking tactics mount.
Cheers
