View Full Version : Vltor SM-OCG Light Mount

This is the new SM-OCG Light Mount from Vltor. It is designed to accomodate either the "G" Series or "Classic" Series of handheld lighting systems.

The mount offers several features which I find to be quite advantageous to the end user.

The first is the adaptability of the system itself. The light is loose inside the mount until you place it on the weapon and actually tighten the thumb screws. This allows you to easily remove the light for replacement, handheld use, etc. without needing any tools or added time.

Upon tightening the two thumb screws when mounting, the pressure is split evenly between the rail and the light itself. Installation is simple and quick, almost to the point where you really can add the handheld from your belt if necessary without too much issue.

As is everything from Vltor, the mount is a strong and durable piece of kit.

These pictures show the mount placed on a Vltor VIS-2 Rail System and using a SureFire G2-LED. I have the light moounted at 3:00 for a "5:00" placement for my thumb, but it could be easily mounted in the reverse direction for a "10:00" placement.

This is without question my preferred method for mounting a handheld light to a carbine.

Saweett! That is just what I have been waiting for! Do you have any other pictures Ben? It looks like a metal version of a Viking Mount with toolless attachment capability? Any idea as to price and release date?

Unknown on price and the release date. My apologies. You will need to contact Vltor for that info. Attached are more pics.

Ben,

That is also a great option to mount a light on an AK with an UltiMAK tube.

That's neat. It's like a combined Vltor regular mount and a VTAC light mount. I especially like the positioning of the light, in tight next to the rail (just like the regular VTAC mount).

I am interested in this mount as well. A planned release date would be great! ;)

I really want one of these, too.

I sent an e-mail to VLTOR a couple of days ago asking about availability. Haven't heard back from them yet.

Retail will be $59.95 and they should start shipping early May.

Shipping to dealers or available from Vltor?

Unknown on that detail. You will have to ask Vltor.

Very impressive.

Vltor seems to be pushing ahead with some great new products.

I can't mount my light until this thing comes out. :(

The Larue light mount doesn't tuck the light in far enough for me.

The VTAC is nice of course, but this mount IMO looks nicer and won't put set screw marks on the light.
