I have standard handguards on my Entry Tactical, and I really cant afford to buy any of the new rail systems. Are there any options for a lighting system using the standard handguards. I have seen the built-in lights on some handguards, but I'm not sure I can afford those either. Any suggestions???? Thanks, from a noob! (Ay pics would be awesome) |

First off you realize this is the wrong forum right? Lights & Lasers is one forum up. Anyway. You have several options: 1) A FSB mounted rail (they are inexpensive) several companies make these (GG&G, YHM etc). 2) an add-on rail for the 6:00 position (or with a drill at any position you choose). 3) Bushmaster has a snap on light mount that puts a short rail at either the 3:00 or 9:00 position 4) there is a velcro strap (meant to be used with a G2Z type light) that will wrap around your handguards. Pleny of options, talk with some of the guys & vendors in the Lights area and I'm sure they can come up with photos of these and other options. For what it's worth for standard handguards I like mounting the TDI rail at the 10:00 position (just over the edge of the top handguard on the left side). It allows me to positiont the light so I can activate the button with my thumb using a standard rifle hold OR I can slide the light back and still activate it with my thumb if I have my hand wrapped around the magazine well (aka improved VFG). |
