[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need advice... What's the best front sight tower light mount???

Posted: 3/25/2006 5:10:54 PM EDT

... cause I think I'm going to KISS all my rifles & carbines (goodbye railed forends), so I need a couple of good front sight tower light mounts.

What are you guys using & what do you consider the "best" out there.

Thanks.

If this is for light use only, then in no particular order: Laser Devices, Midwest Industries or ProMag

Thanks for the advice & pics.

What about the mount offered by TDI Arms? Any experience with it?

I've played with them all. The LDI mount is the best hands down.

The TDI mounts are nice and are very much similar to the LDI mount as far as fit is concerned but the last time I ordered I could only get the TPR15-XL -

Won't the weight of a light that high up and far out affect the center of gravity of the weapon a great deal?

The LDI keeps the weight of the light on the centerline unless you attach a light to the side rails instead of like the laser thing in the pic.

And since I don't want to start another thread and my question is similar enough, are there any good bayo lug mounts for lights?

I have the MWI Mount. I sighted in with thr lihgt on and have not noticed any difference.
