More lumens for a G2 on an AK?

[grantoga]

My current "truck gun" is an Arsenal SLR 107 with a chopped and pinned barrel, an ultimak rail and an Vltor offset light mount with a Surefire G2 light. In an effort to increase the lumen output of the light, I got one of those drop-in R5 heads from amazon that brings it up to an advertised 600 lumens. I love the output of the light (and I have an aluminum bezel) but I have lost reliability. In order to get the head to work, you have to remove an outer spring. This makes the head loose in the body, so I have tried all kinds of things to get it tighter. Aluminum foil, a spring with less coils etc. Under recoil the light will occasionally stop working. This is unacceptable to me, so Im wondering if there is a drop in head unit that requires no modification to fit correctly in a G2 body. Would I just be better off getting a light that will fit in the Vltor mount with more output? This gun is taken into the woods frequently, so Im looking for 300-700 lumens with a fairly long throw

I would start by looking at the Malkoff line of drop ins to see if there was a solution there.

Malkoff M61 Mod for the win....and they're on sale right now. I have a G2 and a pair of 6P's with this drop in and its a beautiful 300+ lumen beam and only draws 600mA off of new SF 123's.

Nice! Ill look into the Malkoff. Are they a direct drop in for a G2? Where are they on sale at? Thanks guys

They are on sale at the Malkoff devices Web site. Yes it is a true drop in

I just slapped a Malkoff P61 in an old school Surefire on my Yugo OPAP. 325 lumens makes a huge difference and the Mslkoff pieces are very well done.

As others have said Malkoff or TNVC has there Q5 Cree LED Lamp drop-in.
