Here is the deal fella's. I have this factory BCM rifle I am wanting to keep it fairly kiss but I believe every rifle should have a light. I have a kac RAS M4 but I would rather keep it as light as possible. If need be I will throw the rail back on.
My reason for this thread is for opinions on the best budget weapon light (pressure pad preffered) that I can put on this rifle? I will probly have to go with the magpul moe forend for the shear versatility of it. So let me know what your opinions are. I would like to keep this under $125.00 if possible. I did a search an did not find anything that have me an acceptable answer. I apologize if this has been covered before. The rifle below

On a budget, I agree with both of those. My Polytac has held up surprisingly well. |
| The cheapest way I can think of, which is what I used, is a quality handheld light with your choice of mount. I started with an old original Laser Products Surefire 6P which I already had and mounted it on a rail with an excellent Gear Sector holder. Approximate cost of the light $60 and the mount $60. I later added a Surfire endcap with a dual push button/pressure pad for $45 new on ebay and a LED head to increase output. So little by little it added up a bit but was still way cheaper than a dedicated rifle light.http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/Hazzmatt1/library/#/user/Hazzmatt1/library/?sort=3&page=1&_suid=136770796219705080120796314707 |
| There's a company (blackhawk I think) that makes a very simple set of picatinny rails that attach to the FSP. You can then mount a TLR-1 or similar light. This what our department went to for lighting systems on our rifles. I was pretty skeptical at first just cause it looked chinsey but it works pretty well. Just a thought. |

I love mine I think its one of the best mounting options for those without a rail system. Its simple and solid. |

Except, I would use the IWC mount with the EAG Surefire Fury from BCM. |
