Does anyone know if the new ARMS #17DL dual lever mount works on the 1st production M900's?

My M900 w/ARMS single lever doesn't have the 2 groove cut-outs I see on most M900's pic'd on this web-site, mine has 1 cut-out groove!

Can you post a pic for us? Or, if you can, send me a picture of your M900. The ARMS 17DL will be taller so there's a possiblity it may work for you.

Thats the regular M900. There is a new version with dual ARMS throw levers. I saw it at shot show. Sadly I have no further info on it...

Why would the M900a need dual ARMS throw levers?

The better option would be to just get a LaRue replacement single throw lever.

I just think an extra lever toward the front would make it more sturdy(IMHO)!

I've never seen the LaRue for a M900?

I've been using my M900a pretty hard for several years and I haven't ever run into any issues where one ARMS locking lever wasn't strong/strudy enough. IMHO, an extra lever and larger mount would just add unnecessary weight. Seriously, how many broken M900a's have you heard about?

Believe me, I've banged that grip handle pretty hard

a few times and it always held on tightly.

While I believe the LaRue lever is superior one of the reasons I haven't changed over yet is because of the experiences I mentioned above. However, I do feel the little flip-floppy rail buffer on the ARMS mount can be a PIA when mounting the light.

Here's the LaRue LT170 that I mentined earlier.

Thanks Yojimbo!

I was just thinking it might take any "give" out of the front end? You can pull down on the front of my light and it gives a little, no big deal, but I wished it didn't! Mine is just a SHTF gun, so it doesn't get used & abused hard!

My light also wiggles with the arms mount does anyone have expierence with the LaRue mount on this light. I have a LaRue mount for my Aimpoint and think its great. I feel as much as you pay for this light it shouldn't have any wiggle. I probaly should of just saved the money and got the thumb screws.

Since the LaRue is adjustable it should allow you to fit it your rail and make the wiggles go away.

I have the LaRue 17 Upgrade on my M900 - I bought the light with the thumbscrews, since I knew I would get the LT 17 mount...

I have it adjusted very tight (takes a screwdriver to pry the lever open), because like you, I dont like any play in the grip in any direction. I have used it for several thousnd rounds and it has not loosened up at all.

Hope this helps,
Clint

I also bought a thumbscrw model and upgraded to the LaRue mount. I am very happy with it, and it is extremely solid, no play at all.

Guess I got lucky. My M900 with ARMS is tight with no movement on all my rails,

My M900 doesn't move on my rail, it's a very tight fit, what I'm talking about is the front of the light, you can pull down on it a little bit! I was just thinking dual levers puts one more lever closer toward the front, so maybe it would do away with the "give".

I found a pic of the new Surefire M900 with the dual ARMS throw levers we saw at the Shot Show. SMGLee posted it a while back but I missed it.

Very inetersting, looking at that I'd still prefer the single throw lever version.

BTW, that's a nice pic of the new SIR and the Elcan Spectre!
