[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Noob Question on Weapon Light

Posted: 2/3/2021 8:35:12 PM EDT

After having rifles for many many years, I just bought my first weapon light today, a Surefire M300 with a Modlite Mod Button switch.....

I am waiting on the tail cap adaptor, as the stire was out...I found one on line an ordered it.

The Mod Button has a 7" wire.

So now here are my question, the light will be mounted on the right side, the button on the top rail and I assume I will tie wrap the wires to something, not sure yet....

Is there some light management ladders I can buy to help with tying this down?

The rail is a 10" DD M4 quad handguard on a 11.5" barrel.

Thanks,

Bronc

I really like the index clips. Some of them have clips and hooks for your wires.

I don't think you can beat the Larue Index Clips.

You can search for Manta or Strike cable management options. But I'd figure out how to use the Larue clips in a way for my particular setup or use zip ties before I went with the Strike or Manta options.

I think I have some LT index clips some where in my parts bin....

Thanks,

Bronc

Pics were a big help

I just tried to make my own with some ERGO ladder rails and small zip ties and it may work, will post some pics when I get further on the project

I found the tail cap adaptor at a online camping store, believe it or not, sent the link to Surefire and they said it looked legit....the store is Camp Saver in Utah, it was $54 with free shipping....called them and said I could return it in 60 days if not satisfied. Just got a shipping email, so they were quick

Will update as I progress

@Tigwelder1971 they sure do look interesting

Going to research these....

The original intent was to put the new light on my DD SBR with a DDM4 quad rail, but decided today to install on my DD V7SLW with MLOCK and these will do good

Thanks for the lead

ETA: They have different types, bends, 90's and etc....they are $12 a piece, which is not bad considering the machining and CNC work that goes into making them. I will be ordering some as soon as my tail cap comes in and I see the routing I need

The Arson Machine MLOK fasteners came in today and took me less than 3 minutes to install them. Excellent machining and finish. 1/8” Allen wrench was needed for the install. Wires are tied down and very neat looking. Thanks for the lead

I am very pleased with them, some of the best MLOK fasteners I have seen so far....These guys have it going....great idea

Take like literally anything and have it pull the cable and wedge the shit out of it somewhere.
