View Full Version : help removing X300U from Mossie MT2400FSB-P mount

I currently have an X300U on a Mossie FSB mount on a BCM 14.5 upper with a Battlecomp 1.5 permed on. After running it all day in a class for about 400 rounds, I noticed that the bezel is nicely caked in burnt crud from the comp, and the light is basically unusable with the layer of grime over the lens.

I decided I needed to go with another lighting solution, but I can't get the X300 to come off the mount. I swapped the universal latch for the 1913 latch before I installed, but it's like the mount is too wide in the trough on the light. I can lift the locking latch, but no amount of grunting and pushing/pulling, or trying to lever it forward with a screwdriver braced against the FSB is helping.

Anybody else run into this problem, and have any secrets?

Loosen up the bolts that hold rails on the X300.

If that doesn't work, rubber mallet.

Loosening the screws on the light worked like a charm. Thanks again.
