Shannon McNair 1 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I'd like to get this little Surefire E2D LED Defender to go to and from work with, and either mount it or another to my Saiga 12 for home defense. Can anyone suggest a cheap and effective way to do so? Edited December 10, 2008 by Molten Tuna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acercanto 6 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 + a small block of wood for a spacer. If you have rails though, any old scope ring will probably work. Acer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SaigaNoobie 66 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Damnit Acer, I was gonna say DuctTape. http://www.cdnninvestments.com/unbamonew.html Is cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOPMOD 254 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Bolt a generic segment of picatinny rail to your handguard then stick your light in an adapter. http://www.botachtactical.com/mosyg36hapiw1.html http://www.botachtactical.com/fabflmo.html You can sell the rail segments you don't use,heck I'd buy the long rail from you for $10,lol Edited December 10, 2008 by SOPMOD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SOPMOD 254 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 "Shoot me Lights" Don't believe I want one, especially on any weapon I own. Inside a small structure they are awesome, outside they are an illuminated target, With an IR filter and a set of ANVS goggles they are amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunnysmith 4 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 They look "cool" in the movies but that is it. ANVS goggles they are amazing, drawback no peripheral vision Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR Young 175 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 IMO, a tac light on a home defense shotty is perfect. BG breaks into your dark house, you have a tac light on your IZ-109 of about 240 lumens, light him up with it and temporarily blind him as well as illuminating your target for your shooting pleasure. Since it's a shotty, it will basically hit somewhere near the center of the light, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rightwingnut 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 you would be contrary to any authority on tactics to categorically dismiss mounted lights. OP, screw some rail to the forearm & 6 o clock near the front then buy a $12 set of 1" scope rings from wallmart. Then put a Surefire G2 in there. Get the regular incandessant G2 & buy the Cree 256 lumen LED head from Tactical Night Vision Co. Also, get a surefire clicky tail cap. If you want to use the light w/ a VFG, get a stubby VFG (cause the mags rock) & then screw on the rail & vet a Vikings Tactics offset light mount for $20. Put the light to the R side of the gun if you are R handed for use w/ your L thumb. Get the Vtac mount from DPMS. It is $20 w/ NO SHIPPING. That is as cheap as it gets. Your welcome.

gtnichols 51 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Buy one or 2 of these,.. http://www.galatiinternational.com/Merchan..._Code=ATSMC1100 this one is pretty sweet too, but you will need a rail,.. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product...oducts_id/17980 Edited December 11, 2008 by Gas Giant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if tac flashlights are ever mounted with an on/off mechanism near the trigger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It mounts straight to the barrel, which I would think would get hot. Anyone have any experience with a mount that clamps straing onto the barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigj480 203 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I wouldn't go too cheap on a gun I'm trusting my life to. The parts SOPMOD links to seem fine. If you want a VFG use an offset mount, like the ones rightwingnut mentioned. A pressure switch would be preferred, not cheap but worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use a TLR1 and they make remote pressure switches for them like you mention but my hand on the forearm puts my thumb within inches of the tail of the light so my thumb is my remote switch,lol http://www.botachtactical.com/sttrtali.html Edited December 12, 2008 by SOPMOD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
