CSL USMC 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) I am looking for an inexpensive barrel mount for my tactical light. I have it on my AK side mount rail currently and it gets in my way. (Top mount is in use.) Any pics would be a bonus Edited March 19, 2008 by CSL USMC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any pics would be a bonus I wish someone would come out with something like one of these that would clamp to the barrel. Just turn it upside down and presto!! A light rail. I have looked at both of these and there is not enough material to enlarge the hole to 22.5mm. Edited March 23, 2008 by sKott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hello When installing a BUIS on the front of my S12, I used a gas block/top rail from an AR10. Seems it was bored to 0.875". I ran some oddbal bit through it to get it 0.889 or something to get it to slide over and clamp to the 0.886" barrel on my S12. For a light, I think a better idea would be to get one of those barrel/light clamp thingies they spew from China. I saw Tony Rumores S12 posted on here with the light mounted (I assume) using one of those clamp things, that's where I got the idea. His light was very low-profile to the barrel, and tucked nicely in front of the gas tube adjuster dial. I was only able to use that on one of my S12's, however...On the one with the above-mentioned AR10 BUIS, the light only served to provide really top-notch illumination of my front sight. On my S12 with the Halo, however, it fit-up and works perfectly, since the front sight sits rearward of the front-end of the gas tube. YMMV..... guido2 in Houston I am looking for an inexpensive barrel mount for my tactical light. I have it on my AK side mount rail currently and it gets in my way. (Top mount is in use.)

sKott 26 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I found this on on Armalite's website The site says that it's bore is .875. and I think I could easily ream it 22.5mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That looks like what I used. I believe it was made by S&T or something like that. I believe I got a 57/64" bit to bore it out, it fit perfectly. (like 0.890", I think...) guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
