Is there a mount for a Surefire-type flashlight that can easily be attached/unattached from a standard set of carbine handguards and still be expected to keep the light firmly attached to the rifle? I don't want to add a set of rails just to mount a light, and I really would rather not mount it on the barrel.

When push comes to shove, the mount will put enough force on the handguards to break them. You're better off with an FSB or barrel mount.

I don't remember if it fits regular carbine handguards or just the M4 handguards.Streichers should have it in stock.

You also might want to check out one of the IP's here, Elzetta.  They also make a nifty flash light mount that uses the fixed front sight post. Hope this helps.

Thanks Vic!



Here is a photo of our popular Elzetta
ZFH1500. The Thumb Screw version allows rapid installation & removal of lights without tools:

Thanks for the suggestions and info. I kind of like the looks of that Elzetta mount. As a matter of fact, I think I might just have to have me one of those. It looks very practical.

It appears to be polymer in the photos.  Can it handle the heat?

The Elzetta ZFH1500 will handle heat from the most extreme conditions. See this thread for customers' experiences.

The ELZetta is a awesome mount. I have them on all my SD rifles, well almost all. They don't work with the 6920 side sling mount, so on that rifle I went with Vikings offset mount.
