SBR Lightweight Weapon Light: Novatac / GS Mount?

[Pk14]

As the SBR project comes together, decisions on an appropriate lightweight weapon light and mount are in order.

For reference, I've had good luck with the Surefire G2LED / VLTOR Offset mount combo on the GP carbine (Noveske N4 FSR Carbine w/ 14.5" barrel and their 9.5" rail). The ability to mount the flashlight next to the FSB allows for my hand to position a little further out on the rail than a 7" rail and the 14.5" barrel length precludes the bezel head from being exposed to any muzzle blast when shooting. On the left below:

The SBR is going to have a similar rail set-up, however the muzzle is closer in with the 10.5" barrel length. I've been impressed with the Novatac EDC 120T flashlight in terms of light output and U/I for its size and weight, and carry one in lieu of the Surefire E2D I previously EDC'd. I was contemplating the Novatac with the Gear Sector Offset flashlight mount (Pictures from the Gear Sector website):

Total weight looks to be 4.5oz (Mount 1.4, Light 3.1 w/battery). I like the way it appears to tuck in pretty close to the rail - does anyone have this set-up? The SBR will be suppressed most of the time and take over the HD role from the GP carbine. Since it will have the can, the length of the light is a little less important, but the mount position is the same at the end of the rail, except at the 1:00 o'clock position (lefty long gun shooter).

Thanks for your help.
Cheers,

Novatac makes/made a gun mount kit for the 120 series of lights. They crop up regularly on fleabay for 60-80USD in my observations. I have thought about mounting my 85T on a carbine, but I need a second Novatac to do it, as the 85T is a nightstand light.

Thanks Vic303 - I saw the CAA mount for the 120 - looking for something closer to the 1 o'clock vice 3 or 9 o'clock position.

Any one else try the Gear Sector mount with a 1 CR123 light?

Cheers,

Not the Gear Sector, but the VTAC and NovaTac120T combo works for me. I've moved the mount to the top rail with the light at 11:00 since this photo.

I usually use a VLTOR Offset Scout Mount to put my lights in the 11:00 position, but find on my 10.5" SBR that this crowds my hand too much on the shorter carbine length handguards, so I have moved to using a Midwest Industries Tactical Light Mount (Front sight base mount) and a standard VLTOR Scout Mount.

Put's the light nicely out past the FSB and in a perfect 11:00 position.
