Another 12 o'clock light mount...

[lindertw]

Well I couldn't wait for someone to get one and post a pic. So I went and got the Hahn mount. I put on a 6P style light on it, using a low ring mount, and it's way below the line of the standard FSB. Doesn't interfer with the irons at all.

Will post a pic later..........

looking forward to the pics

Well here it is. It's a 2 piece design, with upper and lower sections. 2 screws hold it on. and keep it secure, as well as locking into the bayo lug, to keep it upright.
This is on a Colt 6920 with the M4 barrel. If you look close, you'll see a slight gap between the upper and lower pieces. That's because it's made for a slightly thinner barrel, but is made to work on this size as well.
The only problem I encountered, is that the two screws that come with it are different lengths. So because of the thicker barrel, which left some gap, I had to get another longer screw to tighten it down properly. Not sure why they sent 2 diff length screws.......maybe their bad?

The light in no way is even close to the iron sights, so you get a clean sight picture. And it doesn't show up in viewing thru the Aimpoint on the LaRue mount either.

In working with it in low light stuff......all I can say is wow! If you haven't used a 12 o'clock mount, you don't know what you're missing. The light is always where your sights are, with no shadows, and the light is equal everywhere.

The light I've used here is a Pelican M6, typical to the SF 6P etc.

Hmmm. . .Just may have to find out if it's "fit to be tried" for me.

Thanks for the heads up!

What about this? If you flipped this over and cut those bolts down a little it would probably work great. There is a version with 5 slots as well.

Here's the mount with a TLR-1 and a tape switch. I ran it thru a heavy rifle class in July with 104 degree heat, and the light never got hot. We ran 700 roundsin 6 hrs of class.
