The M500 series is very nice, but it is a no joy for me as I like a VG. If you really don't need that much Lumens output, it would be cheaper to just buy a rail system and then add a Laser Devices OP-6 series with an ARMS throw lever or even cheaper yet would be a G2 with a Z32 shock bezel and a 1" scope ring...

I like the M500's. But if you want rails you can get YHM rails that are inexpensive and run a G2 like Grant said.
YHM rails = $89 G2 = $35 Then you can get a shock isolated bezel or a clickie tailcap or tapeswitch or tons of other stuff and be well under $300 bucks, actually you will be under $200 bucks. |

The Scorpion is not 105 lumens, it's closer to 60-65 as it's a bit less than the G2/6P/etc. P60 powered lights. The Scorpion is just not well suited for weapons use, it can be okay for infrequent use but the G2 is a much better solution.
Grey_Ghost, if you need Surefire gear drop me a note, I'm a Surefire dealer. |

The Laser Devices OP-6 is a dedicated weapon light where as the G2 is not. I am both an Authorized Laser Devices LE/Military Distributor and a SF Dealer. I have the OP-6 and G2 in stock currently... C4 www.gandrtactical.com |

Here's the cheapest light/mount I have seen: (1) D Cell maglight (2) 6 inch piece of PVC with inside diameter same as outside diameter of Maglight, cut this in half length wise - give the other half to your cheap buddy - use the Dremel to cut slots for the hose clamps to pass through (3) 4 hose clamps - 2 go around the maglight and PVC and 2 around the PVC and handguard It all ends up looking like a M203 when mounted, is a bit heavy, but you aren't a girly man are you? Edit to add: D cells are cheaper than the Surefire batteries too! |

Barely, the best deals on D cells is generally around $ .85 ea. and 123A's can be had as low as $1 ea. A 6v (2 cell) Surefire P60 based light will smoke a 4 D-cell light in light output and still be almost 1/4 of the size & weight of the Maglite. |

BrightFlashlights, I'm just responding to the topic: "I'm cheap, Help!" The whole setup here is about $20 - maybe you can get something with the light output of a Surefire for that amount, I haven't found it though. Please share your ideas on a complete and cheap - as in inexpensive - setup. |

I'm not denying that your setup can be a bit cheaper but when you start looking at size, weight & performance of even the basic G2 the cost difference becomes minor. The Surefire G2 can be found for $34 (or even better  ) and then using a simple low cost 1" scope ring to mount it will save you as much as 3/4 lb. of weight & give you stronger performance. You could have the whole setup mount and all for under $40.
