If you are asking whether a SureFire Millennium Universal WeaponLight will mount on this:

Then I believe the answer is no - there doesn't appear to be enough rail onto which to mount it.

It apppears the rail is intended to have a single ring mounted on it:

That's what I was afraid of.

Does anyone make a quick detach ring that could mount to this device for light mounting purposes?

I have two of those mounts, I've used the Fobus light mount on it, and it seems to work well.

My reasoning for wanting to go with a mount like this is multi-fold.  

1.  I'd like to keep the light system quick-detachable as in being able to use a throw-lever mount or ring.

2.  I'd like to keep the M4 forend clean and totally available for my hand to move around on; back or forward.

3.  I'd like to keep the light as close as possible to the weapon to cut down on possible snagging.

4.  I don't want a pig tail switch for total reliability and snag-free operation.  I'd like a momentary switch with the ability to lock the light in the "on" position.

5. I'd like keep it off the barrel to prevent any change in bulet impact.  Knocks the 659/660 series out of contention I believe.

I think my best option to fill my desires are:

1.  Some kind of quick detach 1" scope ring such as the Leopold QRW or ARMS #22 ring (30 mm right?).  I just want to make sure that what ever ring I use, the "throw lever" will lay flush with the weapon to cut down on and prevent snagging.  If I went w/ the #22 ring I'd probably have trouble with a 1" diamter SF light.

I suppose the basic SF 6P with a shock proof bezel installed would suffice.  I'd turn the light on via the back of my hand or a knuckle.

What is the part # for the shock proom bezel?  Any other thing I need to add to the light to recoil proof it?

You can go a 650 which isolates the batteries and the bezel.  Would mount just like a 6P

That's what I'm going to next.


Z32 is the bezel

To make a 6P recoil-proof...

Remove TailCap from 6P and discard the rest.
Screw TailCap onto A21.
Insert SF223AC inside A21.
Screw A21 into L60.

Regarding your idea on the M22 rings from ARMS. They will work with your 1" light if you purchase a set of ARMS 1" 30mm ring inserts. I have a surefire set up in this manner that I use off and on.
