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.
