Trigun5312 3 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Amazing work! I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering. How is the flashlight lamp mounted? Do you think you could post some pics? Has the flashlight lamp assembly survived the recoil on its own or did you have to do any mods to keep it running? Very slick set up. It really blends with the gun extremely well. I have seen pics of your gun before and never really noticed the light (or if I did it didn't quite register) until I read this thread...

BobAsh 582 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Trigun, The lamp head has a welded extension on the bottom, like a piece of channel. The channel fits between the inner walls of the handguard perfectly. 4 flathead screws go through the handguard into threaded holes in the channel piece. In the pic below you can see the screws, and directly above the weld bead. I had to look for a while to find a pic where the light caught it just right and blow up that section, they really are hard to see. No mods were necessary for the lamp. LED lamps are extremely robust from vibration; it's heat that kills them. Since I removed a lot of aluminum from the head, it probably won't withstand a very long run time followed by shooting. But that doesn't bother me. The way I use it (night varmint hunting) we drive around spotlighting and I energize the light to aquire targets. If you wanted to run it full time it would be fairly simple to add an additional heat sink to the design. Also one could replace the LED board with a surefire if a greater "feeling" of reliability was required. In fact you could just start out with an expensive flashlight I suppose. I have been unable to break mine yet. I did buy a couple of extra lights just in case though. Edited January 18, 2011 by BobAsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beefcakeb99 572 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Bump. I've been getting a lot of questions about this build lately. From me? I have been whoring it out thats for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BpS12 512 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Nice ideas Bob. That's part of the reason I went with the Auto-plug. Saves alot of space. I always wondered why so many VFGs have "battery" storage compartments/switch space and no lights to go with it all. I see another market opening up. WOOWHOO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
