Included in the price are the rings. For my mount, I didn't use them. The Picatinny is the perfect size for
If the lights are larger than an inch in diameter, I don't think it will work.
Approximately the same size as a 1" and smaller than a I think that this design is ok, but if you're using a 1" light, I suggest the GG&ampM. A low profile mounting option for G1" rifles for use with the Magpul mount. It, in my opinion, is a much cleaner appearance than the bulbous Magpul rings.
It is true. A weapon light can be mounted using all the hardware included in this kit.
Selected User Reviews For Magpul Picatinny Rail Light Mount
Everything about this advertisement is off, so let me begin by saying that. In the title of the document, it says it's for a right-click campaign Mounting surfaces are on both sides). Right side light would be better for me, since I am a lefty. To be on the safe side, I ordered the one that said it was I sided on the title and that's what I got (1 o'clock, not 11)
The picture is deceptive, in that it does not show the rings in which the flashlight is actually attached. The box was packed with an extra set of screws, so I wasn't sure if I needed to buy them separately or if they could be found in it, but alas, they were included. I will now discuss the product in more detail. I like it a lot! In the end, I went with a Streamlight flashlight and I'm very happy with the result. While I had a bit of room to move the flashlight forward, I placed it where my thumb would be able to easily interact with it from my normal shooting stance and grip. The only thing I didn't like about it was that they sent me an extra set of screws for mounting (which I won't use), but not an allen wrench to tighten things up (which I'm quite certain would have been extremely useful.
It's by This product was made in the United States. This is quality. My streamlight protac HL-E was mounted on the body I have a model X (non-weapon light) on it, and it fits snug and appears to be durable. The reason that I purchased the "Left" model (11 o'clock) was that I was planning to mount it with my picatinny rail at 12 o'clock and put my light at 1 o'clock. As you can see from the photos, the "Right" model would have required picatinny on the right side, but my keymod is not on the right side. My rifle works well with this setup and I'm a left hand shooter.
There is no need to sacrifice quality for price when you're dealing with the magpul light mount, which weighs just two ounces. The package weighs 2 ounces without the light. Alternatively, you could choose to install it on the right side or the left front, but if you want to mount it in the 12 o clock position on the rail and have it on the left side, you would need the right hand one , and vice versa. normally, after mounting it to the rail 9 o'clock, you only need to mount it to the left hand side, because the light will be on the left hand side. The mount for light at 3 o'clock has light on the right hand side. This bracket will accept lights ranging in size from 3/4" to just over 1".
I intended to mount this to the top of the rail using the light to illuminate the left sight of the front gas block at 11 o'clock. On the basis of the photo, I thought I would get that. As soon as I got the mount, I realized the "left side" mounts directly on the left side of the rail with the light placed Can you please explain why I'm having trouble with this? A rail that's as small as possible is the perfect size for me, and the grip adds just enough to spice things up. Neither of these things were deal breakers for me, and I managed to make It is as usual unbeatable quality for the price at Magpul.
A lightweight rifle build was my purpose for purchasing this, and I was very disappointed. It will be the UTG that I will keep after selling my Magpul one on eBay.
Be careful tightening the screws on this mount it is a good mount. They have a huge capacity for stripping, which leads to either the mount getting stuck with the firearm or the mount getting stuck with Except for being permanently attached to my 590a1 and having to cut the rings to get my Surefire out of it to try a different mount for my SLR, it is a good mount and does not cause barrel shadow when set up the way I did. I was surprised to find out it came in at about $7 in total with the flashlight and rail There are 8 ounces in the box. I just wanted to mention that if your gear is already a bit forward heavy, you might want to consider mounting this to it.
As far as I can tell, my rifle is right. Written by hand. The sight is placed at the 8 o'clock position on the left side of my rifle, but I choose to install it there. prefer this method since I can easily control the flashlight's light switch from the handguard. This switch sits on the side of the flashlight, near the rear. As well, I have no preference for mounting flashlights high (above 9 o'clock or above 3 o'clock) because this blocks the field of view while working. It is far more out of the way at 8 o'clock having the light at that time. Taking this into consideration would be wise.
It took me a while to understand what the "left" or "right" option meant when I was first considering this item. My mistake was to select "left" because I thought it meant which side of my rifle I wanted it on. Upon receiving the first one, I realized that the option meant "left handed shooter" and "right handed shooter", so it returned the first one I ordered and replaced it with As a whole, the product gets 5/5 stars, however, the options selection gets 1/5 stars due to the lack of detail. My biggest suggestion to Amazon (or sellers) is to change the wording to state that a product is left.
