Posted: 6/21/2012 12:47:50 PM ...Or you could go for the KAC flashlight mount–– It will require the use of a reducer, as the mount is intended for 1" flashlights. I fabbed one from the plastic adapter that is supplied with Viking Tactics plastic flashlight mounts. http://www.atstacticalgear.com/cgi/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=5895 Beware that their customer service sucks, and their estimated shipping times are fiction.

I have the inner ring from a viking tactics flashlight mount sitting on my workbench. I'd thought about this, but was concerned about zero also.

With the short ranges that I use the thing for, coupled with the less-than-stellar shooting stance from wearing a head-mounted NVD, I have never noticed any loss of zero. Either by impact on target, or from seeing a deviation from that of the optical sight mounted on the rifle.... The Beamshot M1 mount certainly works*, and they are inexpensive. *I have found that tightening down the lock ring thingy causes it to interfere with the fitment between the rail and the mount; requiring some dremel work to remove the offending material. Will probably have to post a pic, as it is difficult to effectively describe.

For right now....a rubber band holding it to the side of the other laser.....for playing with....LOL I'm machining a housing for it with POI adjustments....2 parts...aluminum and delron....with stainless steel adjustment screws....it will screw into standard "SureFire" threads. I ordered 10 more diodes just to have on hand....and the parts that I'm making, I may build a cold cast resin mold to reproduce...If it works well I did a burn test....with the laser pictured there....left it on for 20 mins....it was pretty warm....but no noticeable difference in output. I'll be taking pics of assembly as I go.
