Does anybody know who currently manufactures a light mount that attaches to a CQBL? I know Unity used to make a mount to add a Surefire style light to the CQBL but it's discontinued as far as I know. For some reason I thought Echo Arms was making something similar now but I didn't see it anywhere on their website.

Seems like a decent setup for a short PCC potentially. I've been running an X400V on my PCC and even though I haven't used it much it doesn't seem ideal to have to remove what I'm using as a laser to swap out the batteries. I'd rather not have to potentially re-zero after doing a battery swap.

Pics of the old Unity mount:

Yea, Nick Chen posted about the Echo Arms CQBL mount a little while back:

Awesome, thanks man. I did some digging on IG and it looks like they aren't available to order yet. Echo Arms says "soon," either through them or TNVC.

I’ll be a buyer day 1.

I have begged folks to make another run, or for others to develop their own version (I’m looking at you IWC), but nada.

I have one! It is a pretty slick setup. I've since moved it to the other side and run a Surefire dual switch at the top. I may grab another TAPS SYNC to control everything a little better.

That said, zeroing the CQBL is a pain in the ass with the light mounted. You pretty much have to spin the head off to access the adjustment screw.

I picked up a used CQBL from a buddy and had the unity mount and tnvc mount to use one of the surefire millennium lights. Too bad TNVC stopped making them but it is a very dated light but still looks hella cool!

Does anybody know if a Luna elir 3 can be rigged up like this? I'm thinking of getting lasers for a few rifles and then swapping the illuminator between them. The elir 3 and one of these per rifle seems a versatile setup that'd provide a quality laser/illuminator combo.

Me? Unless I'm misunderstanding- the cqbl or other laser would be my IR aiming point and the Luna elir 3 would be my IR illuminator. Should be similar to above photos but would have a higher power, adjustable laser illuminator instead of the fixed LED surefire light. White light would come from a separate unit.

This would be sick with the new Arisaka / Malkof IR 250 or IR 700 and a TAPS Sync.

TNVC should sell a happy meal package.

This is pretty cool. Are there other options like this to mount lights to other lasers?

With this mount / scout style body putting the light at the 1:30ish and a good IR only illuminator head like the Malkoff head is there a dual lead single button solution that would activate both the laser & the IR light at the same time? I’d like to leave my white light at 10:00 with a clicky tailcap and have a single button / tape switch to activate both the IR laser & illuminator.

TAPS SYNC. Lets you fire just the laser or light and laser at the same time as needed.

Yeah I have a TAPS on the gun I run a CQBL on. I think Unity also made a dual-lead hotbutton, although I'm not super enthusiastic about it cause apparently the click for constant on isn't super tactile.

I don't know if they've ever shipped any dual-lead versions, but they aren't right now and I wouldn't hold my breath for them to do it any time before the heat death of the universe.

Which really sucks, because the SYNC is too damn big for certain uses.

While it's great they are offering an option I think it'd be better to offer an integrated offset scout mount like the original versus an entire 18350 body that you then have to populate yourself and most likely won't play nicely with different heads (modlite, surefire, weltool).  Hopefully I'm wrong though, ether way I'll probably buy one as long as it's not overpriced.

Per the comments in this post

There will be both Modlight and Surefire versions available. Hopefully that’s still the case.

That's the same thing with the MAWLs. Light Head must come off to access adjustment screws up under the Unit. Tell me, I have a number of those Unity Mounts, but regarding that Echo Mount - is that only operable on the CQB Device or will it work with other Lasers as well?

Just the CQBL.

That’s not the same thing.

Echo arms version makes the flashlight body integral to the clamp instead of providing a mount for a flashlight.

Good to go! Always love reading TFB and looking back over articles which helped me make my decisions. This was the last quote on the FP Laser Showdown they did awhile back which paid off to me. "If you want a MFAL that can keep up will the full power laser boys, look into the MAWL C1+ or DBAL D2. which was equally as true to me as this one also - "The biggest takeaway is that people tend to want things they cannot have" so that is exactly what I have. This CQBL certainly looks intriguing though.

I have a D2. It’s awesome. It’s also a giant piggie. The MAWL is too expensive for me to justify.

The CQBL is smaller and more lightweight. I already own one. Using a flashlight with it can be an bit of a pain. It won’t be after I buy one of these new setups.
