Earl comes through again, no surprise.
Disregard the Mount-N-Slot sling mount mounted in an unconventional way, I was testing something out.
I just got the mount in today. The terms I've heard on M4C to describe this pre-production were that its going to be
"The Heat"
"The Bee's Knees"
"Fabtasticular."
Definitely meets all 3 descriptions. I was originally going to mount a Surefire X300 on a rail section but the price kind of turned me off even though its lighter with more lumens. This is a gun for range use only and just to make a point, this cost 1/3 what the X300 would have. Looking back, if they were the same price I would probably still go ahead with this setup and I have no issues using this setup for a serious use rifle.
This mount puts the push button tail cap in the absolute perfect spot for thumb activation. I also like that unscrewing the tailcap a few turns makes an AD impossible.
The install was straightforward, but I did have to look at the pic on the website to get the gist of it.
The Surefire 6P LED and mount equal about 6.5 ounces. Not the lightest setup but not heavy.
I can't wait to use it in a few weeks. Immediately after installing it I had to disassemble. The movers came in and took the rest of my toys away...now I'm stuck here with no toys, no car, no TV, nothing...
I'm curious to see how the 6P LED will be at night throw-wise. I'm hoping for at least decent lighting at 50 yards but who knows.
Update 08/25/2011:
This is the absolute best light mount for MOE handguards that I have seen, used, or even heard of period. I have actually switched my home defense rifle setup because I am that much more confident with my light activation as opposed to tape switches and other mounts that placed the light in an inferior spot or had less than ideal reliability (tape switches).
With products like this I see no need to go to free floated rail systems unless you are mounting lasers or require the extra accuracy for 500+ yard shots.
