I ran across this mount in a thread here and ordered two, waddya think ???     The mount is is made for a 1" tube but I improvised for my E2D with a few layers of heat shrink tubing, I'm thinking an additional "shock isolator"....  It fits very snug.......Anyway, this is nice because it is ambi-. It will mount and "Offset" both angles on all four rails.... The mount will allow you to mount the light at 1,2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11 I am not involved with Viking Tactics at all but Kyle was very helpful....   Edited to add: It is constructed with Glass filled Nylon, brass nuts receive the allen screws that tighten the clamp on the rail and three tapped holes allow three allen head screws to tighten down directly on the lights surface. Hope that helped......  |
| How solid are the set screws that contact the light? I would worry that the threads in the plastic could easily strip out. I also don't know if I'd like 3 screw marks on the side of my light, but I suppose some sort of shim between the light and the screws would fix that. Anyway, I'm ordering one. It's a whole lot cheaper than getting a offset adapter and a light mount. |

I 2nd the notion of screw marks... From their site: "This mount will allow you to mount any light with a 1” or slightly larger diameter. Even the inexpensive Surefire G2 Nitrolon will fit. " I'm thinking of chucking in a 6P (I'm poor)... Maybe some inner tube would protect a bit? |
A step in the right direction. It needs one of two things: Either 1) A a quick release rail mount (captive knobs or push buttons ala Fobus or TDI) or 2) A toolless method to hold the light in place so if it should go dead you can quickly and easily replace it. For example if those set screws had 'wings' to allow you to tighten/loosen by hand.... |
I robbed this from another thread and I'm going to give it a try.
