I’ve got one with a m600 body & light. It works, no issues.

Liking it so far. While it is heavier than an Arisaka MLok mount, it gives you the ability to quickly take the light off and use it as a handheld in a pinch. For a SHTF setup, this seemed like the right way.

Not criticizing your choice, so much as making an observation. |

Imagine if we weren’t so limited to freaking government profile barrels and had more CORE / taper profiles where the weight is shifted away from the muzzle. If would offset lights and lasers pretty well. |

It’s ADM, so it’ll be solid. Used one on a pig gun for a number of years. Nothing bad to report.

I’ll be devils advocate. Why not just buy additional lights to use as handheld? These QD light mounts are super bulky and add weight. Arisaka light mounting solutions are very nicely streamlined, low profile, lightweight, and strong. All of my rifles with lights have Arisaka light mounts.

I have 4 setup with Arisaka Mlok mounts and 1 with a KAC Scout mount. However, for this setup being a SHTF rifle...and if I had to "grab and go".....what are the odds I end up with a pocket or handheld light with me? |

For QD SureFire Scout mounts I've used ADM and LaRue. LaRue seems a little more secure, but it is also a little heavier (didn't weigh ... just felt them in my magic scale hands). ADM's no-wrench adjustment is nice.

If you're wanting a lightweight / less bulky WML to dismount and use as a hand held ... why not use the SureFire factory thumb screw mount? You can tighten it with virtually anything to hulk-torque levels. Screw driver, coin, knife tip, etc. It would be less intrusive in the hand than a large QD mounting system.
ETA: for MLOK just add a section of polymer 1913 to the location you want the light or a fixed offset 1913 section. Then thumb-screw the SF to it. |

I have a large Sneaky Trick or Treat bag, where my main go-to rifle lives. The upper and lower have to be separated, and it’s designed with a divider in the main rifle pocket. Inside the bag I keep 6-8 loaded mags, spare batteries, sound suppressor, handheld light, eye and ear pro, sling, charger for 18650 batteries, SKD PIG gloves, extra mags for g19. If I had to leave quickly, the bag is coming with me. It’s also very low profile/incognito, so it could be carried in public without drawing any attention. It looks like a video gamer’s bag or an overnight suitcase. When traveling by car, that bag comes along. It’s very handy. |

I just use the Magpul Mlok polymer scout mounts on everything.
QD is heavy and I don't see myself ever needing to quickly remove the light |
