DIY tape switch rail attachment mod....

Who would have thought that a thread with a Dremel in the 1st pic would work out this well.

Way to DIY yourself a mount!

I just use electrical tape or duct tape.

It's a damn shame the Dremel is catching heat because unauthorized short bus riders are deciding to go Hannibal on their AR's.

Dremel is the DIY man's best-friend....here's another DIY topic that start's with the ominous Dremel/tools needed for the job pic

Well done sir! How long did that little rail cover project take you? Tedious with the soldering iron?

Thanks brother...It is tedious using the woodburning gun to make the small stipple marks,,,however, the buzz associated w. the melted plastic fumes makes it all worth in the end

So right when I DIY a tapeswitch, I found a SR07 for $55....and it's much tougher to activate then one that comes w. the UE07 or the one above that I modded. This is prob. a good thing but will take some getting used to. I wouldn't have gotten it so soon at least if it weren't for the constant on/off button. Overall it's certainly built and designed in the typical superb surefire manner, the price tags just make you want to vomit every time but the quality is easily indisputable.

I think I am 125% done after 6weeks of getting this weaponlight refined for my tastes, but I am GTG now I think

New switch and hopefully final setup:

really like the stippling job you did on your KAC covers, do you think you could post a few pictures of how you did it? The pattern you followed, what kind of wood burning tip you used, things of that nature.

I had a similar light set up on my LMT 10.5 not too long ago... I had a mini scout in the same GS mount. I prefer my light on the other side though and it would not work with my Troy BUIS. So... I had to take it off and I'm now using a VTAC mini L4 in a GS E-mount. Similar... for sure, and a great set up! I plan to do this mod THIS weekend for a different rifle... can't wait to see how it works!

Very nice solution Alex. I agree with everyone here that the SR07 is horrendously overpriced, but like you, I recently found one for a good price. I also have a Scout M600C on backorder (from a reputable company) that I managed to find at the last minute before the huge price hike. It'll still be a couple of weeks before I receive it, but the overall cost of the light, mount, and switch made it worth the wait.

Can you PM me with where you are buying the SR07 for $55? Even with my discount, I am paying in the seventies...

Impressive DIY. Thanks for posting this Trident.
