[ARCHIVED THREAD] - LaRue Tactical #LT607 Dual Light/Laser Mount

Posted: 2/1/2006 3:17:12 PM EDT

Only a few days after introducing his new 1" light mount, Mark LaRue has done it again with his new #LT607 Laser/Light Mount. You can now run both your laser and 1" light on one mount utilizing LT's locking, adjustable, throw-lever. Activate your light with the clickie switch and your laser with a tape switch on your TangoDown vfg.

You guys may have seen this pic in another thread.

The real thing, unloaded.

Now for the good stuff. Mounted up and ready to roll:

Availability: 1-2 Weeks after the SHOT show.

Price: To be determined.

Shown With: Laser Devices' Operator Op-6 Light and Las/Tac Laser

Looks Outstanding!! How is the weight with everything on one side while shooting? Of course using the set up you have on the rifle pictured.

You reckon one could run dual Scouts with that sucker. Ya know two is one, one is none.

I'm thinkin maybe you can put the mount on the 6 o'clock rail and have one button activated by a knuckle and one with your thumb, that is if you don't like tape switches.

6 o'clock does sound like a good idea for the balance and using the buttons.

Will other ring sizes be offered ? (Aimshot lasers and Surefire Executive Lights)

I guess I need a laser.

In the first pic, I think i see some sort of QD swivel mounting point toward the rear of the rail.
Maybe larue is planning a slight change to their their rails??

Far out and groovy and everything....but flip the mount and flip the goodies. Laser in the 1ish position and light in the 3:00.

I think mcgrubbs is more than capable of determining the optimum set-up/orientation of components to do what he needs them to.

Besides, thats one of several neat features of the mount - it lets you set it up the way you, the user, wants it - you can even flip it to the other side for southpaws, and/or invert it to put the offset over the bore line, a la the M500.

Stay safe,
Clint

The optimal position for a laser is at the 12 position. The 2nd/3rd optimal positions are at the 3 or 9.

You are closer to the bore line and simpler to zero (only elevation to consider). At the 3 or 9 position, you have elevation and windage to adjust and are farther off the barrel. Generally, the Military views the laser in two way (aiming and designating). Groups that use the laser for aiming mount it at the 12 position. The groups that use the laser for designating a target, mount the laser at the 3 or 9 position.

Wouldn't 6 be better then 3 and 9?

That is the furthest position from the barrel. So the answer would be no.

1:00 seems like it would be closer to the bore to me. Just illusion I guess, I'll take your word for it.

Mount your laser where you like it. There are no hard fast rules, but the Military generally follow the above positions.

Now for flashlights, I like them at the 1 or 11 position.
