    It's inexpensive and lightweight but I am exploring other options. The only thing I definitely didn't like about the Viking mount is that the inner sleeve is a bitch to get out without scarring it.
    I was wondering if you have a picture of this setup? Is the mount situated so that it is mounted to the top part of the handguard or the side? Does it hit the sight/gas block?

    Thanks,

    I don't have a pic, but the rail itself is mounted at the one o'clock position. The MOE handguard has a pitched roof sort of configuration, and this causes the light mount to dangle down to almost the three o'clock position. It doesn't get anywhere near the sight block. It's great for leaving it in exactly the right position to activate the light with your offhand thumb. It's not so great for zipping the rifle up in a gun case, because it bulges pretty good.

    I'll add another +1 for the IWC mount. In addition to having a great mount for the MOE hand guards their customer service is unparalleled.

    I found a pic (below) that approximates my mount. I added the MagPul non-rail mounted VFG to my handguards.

    Just to update my setup: I ditched the vertical foregrip and moved the rail and light mount to the 10 o'clock position so the light mount points up instead of down. This puts the light right alongside the left side of the front sight base and makes it so I can activate the tail switch with my off-hand thumb without needing the VFG. It also makes zipping the rifle up in a carrying case easier because the light and mount don't try to bulge through the case as with the other mounting method.

    Live and learn.

    Here is what I did when I had the MOE handguards. Vtac mount at 12 o'clock. Worked OK, but have since switched some things out.

    Bumping this up to see if any new mounts are around. I’m currently pieceing together a budget build and want to mount one of the G2s I have laying around to MOE handguards.
