Which Vltor Scout mount for Gladius??

[mike240]

Thanks in advance if anyone can tell me which one is the correct one....The CK?

If you have the measurements for the light you can look up which unit on the Vltor site. I have some in stock if your close to Surprise.

Most likely the classic one. Have you looked at the SF M79? It is a little more forgiving on sizes and gives you a QD capability.

Does anyone have any opinions (and perhaps a picture) for the Surefire M79 mount?

good or bad.

I don't know if my opinion counts, but I have been running one for some time and really like it.

Grant,

How would you rate the M79 against the Viking Tactics mount. I have been considering a viking tactics as I am considering mounting it on the top rail to put the light tight against the handguard in the 3 O'clock position. I know the Surefire mount isn't the same setup, but if its a superior mount I may have to rethink my plans.

I have used both the M79 and the Vltor mount. I prefered the Vltor because the light body sat closer to the rail.

I view the VT mount as ok at best. I really only like the mount with a SF G2 because the way the VT holds the light (with screws) will damage an alum. flashlight.

So the M79 is a far better quality mount IMHO. Not to mention that you can remove the light without a SINGLE tool! No other mount offers that.
