I plan on buying a 16" OD Green Tavor in the future and I was curious if I would be able to use my TLR 2 HL on top of the Midwest Industries Extended hand guard? I want to add the laser/light combo on the top side of the hand guard if possible to keep the lower section for a grip. I plan on adding the streamlight pressure switch but I'm worried there won't be enuff room before it hits the rail. If I need to go with an 18" Tavor I will, but I would rather have the 16". Maybe somebody with this setup could chime in. I would also consider the Manticore ARClight XTL Tavor Forend as an option if the TLR-2 HL will fit on the top of the hand guard. Thx

You should be able to mount your tlr-2 hl on the ARClight XTL with no issues on the top or upper sides with a picatinny arc lok rail segment on a 16" gun. Mounting it directly on top should still give you clearance over the tlr for your optics and buis, and puts your laser right over the bore centerline, which actually sounds like a pretty badass setup
30 day unconditional warranty so if it doesnt work to your liking just return the product for a refund, even if used and a bit abused! ;) Sven Manticore Arms Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You can mount the 2.1" rail section rail on the sides of the handguard. The 2.1" rail section is a little too long to mount on the top or on the angled sides of the top piece. It can be cut to be fitted for your use. I went with the internal light mount for mine and mounted a 2.1" rail for an additional accessory. <a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/user/jamesrea_2006/media/Weapons%202014/003_zpsb3fb77b0.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m8/jamesrea_2006/Weapons%202014/003_zpsb3fb77b0.jpg</a> Are you saying the 2.1" manticore rail section needs to be modified to fit on the top of the handguard to fit properly? |

He is using a midwest industries forend and rsil segment A manticore arc lok 5 slot rail segment will fit on top of the arclight xtl with no issues or modification. We designed the XTL that way.

My apology. I failed to mention that mine is the Midwest Industries' Extended handguard. Their XL handguards, which are similar in length to the Manticore ARClight XTL , are for the 18" TAVOR only. The 2.1" rail section fits fine on those. It is just that they are a bit too long for the Extended handguard top section. |

Sven, I have a few more questions if you don't mind answering
1) Do you have any pics of a factory 16" tavor with your ARClight XTL Tavor Forend installed? I want to see how much the stock flash hider sticks out of the front of the ARClight XTL Tavor Forend. The pics I have seen looks like an aftermarket flash hider installed. 2) Is there a plate that can be installed to the front of the forend to cover it up if you don't plan on running a flash light installed inside the ARClight XTL Tavor Forend? I would rather have the open are closed off. 3) Your Internal Pressure Switch Mount kit will keep my TLR-2 HL pressure switch on or off each time it is pressed? Thx

Here is a pic of a 16" gun with the 5 slot rail segment installed on top-= plenty of room for the streamlight.

Thx We should have cover plates done in about 3-4 weeks, they are being made right now- will accomplish exactly what you want, seals off the front when no light is to be used. The IPSM simply translates the pressure switch to inside- your pressure switch will function exactly the same as it did before, whether that is momentary one, constant one, etc with a press of the button. |
