Looking for a flashlight mount that will fit a streamlight stinger model. A one inch mount will not fit or 30mm scope rings. Anyone got a clue about what will work?

I have a Scorpion on my main carbine.  It's strong and works well.  But the tacticool gear queers have an absolute fit over the setup.



Are you sure you want to know?

Thanks for the tip but I think this will not work. Flashlight is rechargeable and it would be a whip having to take on and off with that set up. Not a bad idea though........

30mm is 1.18", and 1 1/8" is 1.125".  That's enough to prevent it from gripping well.  Some people put a layer of gaffers tape or innertube rubber on, if you don't mind a hack.

I used the Vltor offset light mount (SM-OCG).  I have the streamlight scorpion flashlight.  I'm not sure if yours is the same size.  It almost fits when clamped down but did require a small amount of shim tape.  I cut around the openings so you can't see the tape and it fits tight.  If I knew how to post pics I would.  Good luck.

I love my stinger, but it lives on my belt, not my gun.  For a weapon light its way too heavy and I dont think its shock isolated.  I'd look into another light instead of trying to mount the stinger.
