I didn't really like having my light on the side rail of my aug. I had to activate it with my trigger hand, which took focus away from firing preparedness.
I wanted something that would be very lightweight,would allow me to activate my light with my forward hand, and wouldn't require replacing the stock forward grip This is what i went with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00162NU1C/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 
Here's a closeup

Quoted:
Very nice. I was planning on getting a light with a remote switch. Then run the switch somewhere where it's convenient. I don't like remote switches. Can't trust em. Just one more thing to break Not to mention, remote switch for X300 ultra'll run ya about $150. Little mini rail, $30, and you know that the mini rail won't get cut in half making your light in operable The sling is the new blackhawk sling with an AUG sling adapter. |

Quoted:
Ugly? Compared to most AUG light mounting solutions, it's almost beautiful. Is it all plastic (except for the screws) as it appears to be? I'd rather they threaded into steel, but I can put a locknut on the exposed threads for extra insurance. The link states: Precision machined from aviation-grade anodized aluminum

If you get a light like that I will let you have the switch. BTW: it was for my STG and while it worked it was too much trouble. Also: what happened to you today? I never got a call to hit the range. |

Ah. Thanks. I couldn't get the link from my phone, and it looked plastic-ish. |

Ah. Thanks. I couldn't get the link from my phone, and it looked plastic-ish. Ya know, from the picture, I can see why you'd think that. It's rock solid and all metal. I'm pretty sure that the light would be in tiny mashed little pieces long before i managed to bend or break the mount. I personally like it a lot. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but i like the fact that it allows me to operate the light completely independent of my firing control hand. I didn't want to spend several hundred on a solution that required me to replace the forward grip (which i like quite a lot). I was never going to mount anything else on it, so it would have been more rail space than i had a use for. |

Whose sling adapter is it?
Looks like the Urban ERT with the plastic connector, as the Blackhawk pics seem to be a D-ring? http://www.blackhawk.com/product/Single-Point-Sling-Adapter,473,94.htm I've got an A3, and as I'm sure you're aware finding a good sling isn't so easy, seems everyone goes with the ERT or a Vickers, but I've yet to see the Vickers on an Aug or MSAR, and it seems likely to interfere w/the charging handle... |

where did you get it? How much? It's similar to Surefire barrel mount solution. Quoted:
