So this light has really caught my eye over the recent months and I am leaning towards buying it. I just bought a BCM KMR alpha rail and was thinking about mounting this light on the end of my rail using the Haley strategic thorntail mount. Only thing that I think might cause a problem is that I run Magpul MBUS sights and I was wondering if the little lever on the side of the sight to deploy it would get in the way of me putting the light in that area while on the Haley thorntail mount. The KMR is such a slim rail and I want to be able to run this light all the way out on the rail but am just wondering if that little lever will get in the way. This is my rail with the MBUS sight...

Where exactly do you want the light to sit in relation to the front sight? We have several options that work great on the KMR, and use either the 45 degree or side keymod slots, rather than the picatinny rail up top:

I realize this is with mbus pros rather than polymer:

I basically want my light exactly how you have it in that picture except on the other side of the rail. I basically want it on a 45 degree offset with the bulb pushed all the way out to end of the rail. So essentially the bulb would be right next to my MBUS front sight

You can do what Arisaka suggested or you can move your front sight back enough to make enough room for the WMLX to be mounted.

Are the Magpuls your only sight right now or a backup? Only asking because you will end up shortening your sight radius if you move it back, but depending on how long your rail is you may end up at or longer than standard carbine FSP sight radius. I moved my front folding sight back even further to make room to keep my thumb over the rail and the sight radius still matched my carbine gas gun with FSP.

The WMLX has a lower overall height than your front sight so your sight picture shouldn't be affected.
