I have run a TLR1HL at 12 O clock at the end of a 12ish inch rail on my patrol for years. It works perfectly in that position.

I have an 11.5" AR pistol with a TLR-3 mounted upside-down on the 12 o'clock position. A Magpul BUIS front sight sits right behind it. It works great, but it does kind of bother me that I'm losing sight radius by mounting the front sight a few inches back.

Biggest issue is probably needing a pretty low profile light to allow sights or optic to see over it. I have an inforce WML IR on an SBR on the top rail and like it...

I have a TLR1 on a 15" ALG rail at 12 o clock with a DD fixed front behind it. It's one of my favorite ways to mount a light.

With a red dot, you lose half of your sight box.
With cross hairs or irons, it can make sense. |

My AR-V has an inforce WML at 12 on the rail.
Works great. |

I have before and it’s fine however I prefer a m3/600 scout at about 10-11 that I activate with my support hand thumb.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not if you use a high mount so you can finally shoot with your head in a comfortable position. BeowulfX just had the timing wrong. If he had shown up now maybe it could have been? |

Why not 6 o’clock? That’s the best place of all. But internets Tier 1 operators won’t go for it so it must be ignored.
Mines on the right side (3 o’clock?) since it’s an M951 on a KAC RAS on a Block 1 clone so no room except the sides. |

The answer of course is that I have 7” hand guards and that’s where my A-frame FSB is.

Block your optic often times unless it is mounted high.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not if you use a high mount so you can finally shoot with your head in a comfortable position. My dots sit at A2 sight height and are plenty comfortable; if they were any higher, I'd be craning my neck to see anything instead of just having my head upright. But if you use a dot at standard AR sight height, you'll lose the entire lower half of your sight box with a 12 o'clock light. |

It's the new coolness for the Tactical Timmy types.
Jokes aside it works well with a light/laser combo on top of a Mossberg Shockwave.  Attached File |

Didn't we already do this thread when a member posted his build with an A2 FSB and a 12 o'clock light? I think he said he used the light to do general aiming.
