Quoted:
I've been craving a laser on my AR but good ones are so expensive. I figured I would save a few hundred bucks and just roll my own. Problem is, building a laser with internal adjustment would be a pain in the ass. I figured I could just loctite everything in place so the laser stayed dead-on and adjust the mount around it.
Does anyone sell a mount like this? I think I've heard it mentioned before, but I'm not sure. A 1 inch wide ring mount would be best, as most cheap laser hosts are made from 1" flashlight bodies.
A laser is for super fast target AQ in close quarters, its designed to let you hit "minute of chest" without having to line up sights, or throw away your peripheral vision by looking through a CQB optic.
Why you would want to do what you describe is beyond me, but good luck.
