So I have an OPS Core helmet with a Surefire M340V light which I couldn't be happier with.  They are awesome.  

The problem is the Surefire is mounted with a Thyrm Variarc... which doesn't like to stay on the rail where I mount it.   Thyrm Variarc slides and then falls off when it gets pushed too much.

Is there a quick fix for this?  Should I look at some other mounting solution?

Electric tape on the dovetail of the Variarc should keep it from falling off.

Ditch that Surefire. Go to Princeton Tech if more Admin related but if in need for both white/IR then INFORCE makes great alternatives which don't drain your CC. Loved first one so much I added one to each helmet. Simple enough for a caveman.

INFORCE Thread on HML

TW Bump w both PT & INFORCE.

So I tried the electrical tape and that is working well.  

BTW, already have a Princeton Tec on the other side, but I've found extra power is needed, for administrative purposes if nothing else.

Depending on what I'm doing I run a SureFire V1 on a VTac mount /X300V, on a VariArc on my left side for umbrella lighting and admin. On the right I run a StreamLight Stalk white, color, IR, with multiple modes.
