TLR-1 HL mounts on side rail and you can use the toggle switch easily enough with your thumb or buy the battery door with the tape switch plug and run the wire underneath through the rail and to a sleeve (Manta Defense) on the foregrip and then you can activate it either way with minimal clutter as the lead to the switch is just long enough and leaves no extraneous wire to contend with.

This has worked well for me.

Quote HistoryThis may come off as a stupid question, which finger on which hand are you using to actuate those switches? |

Index finger on the right hand.
The next question is usually , "don't you use that finger to pull the trigger?" Yes, but I can also pull the trigger with my middle finger if I absolutely needed to do so. The concept is that the light is placed on the side rail with no modification to the gun, but it still allows activation of the light with no change in grip between either hand. Is this the best way to activate a light? Probably not, but it works and in practice I only touch the light switch maybe a couple seconds out of each year. If I need a light, I have a light. Otherwise, I just shoot the gun like I normally always do without worrying about tapping a light switch. |

I replaced the front grip with a rail and run a REIN on it:
 This has been my favorite light mount setup, keeps me from losing a lot of the beam due to my suppressor. Only issue I really have is that I really like the original AUG grip. I tried the PuPlight but it wasn't quite what I needed, had a good chunk of my light's flood blocked when using it. |

I just threw an inforce on mine and called it a day. Trigger blows so I can just use my middle finger if I gotta bang it out.

I'm no help. But I use a pressure pad on the vertical grip.
I use a Surefire Scout model. |

How's that can on there? Thinking of going with a Nomad 30 for my next when the Eforms thing is ready to go |

Quote HistoryQuoted: InForce is a low profile fit. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/98037/7E89A025-408A-4DFF-B2D3-A9FDE22A40E5_jpe-2213395.JPG I tried that exact setup on my A3M1 and was surprised how well it worked Not at all ideal as you're moving your trigger finger to operate the light But it worked well enough that I'm leaving it that way until I decide on a final optic and light combo |

I messed around with a couple different setup's, and ended up here on my M1.
Modlite PLHv2 head, on a Surefire scout pro dual fuel body. Mounted to a Midwest M-lock extended side rail. The integrated mount on the scout pro body tucks the light in pretty close. Tape switch on the VFG with a Manta defense sleeve.  |

I keep mine as light as possible so no add on stuff, if I want something with a light I grab something with a light.

My favorite AUG is an old beat up A1. 16” 1/7 barrel, A3 stock, crosshair open donut swaro tube, and a 2020 TSM. Super light and handles well. The only rifles I have with lights are AUGs, so… |

I use a TLR1 mounted with a Magpul mount on my FDE MSAR. It would be a bit different on an AUG since the rail is at different angles. I don’t have one mounted on my green AUG at this time.
