Let me start by saying I’m not a flash light guy and I only have white lights on one 9mm carbine and a pistol even though I have IR lights on most of my guns. But for my new go to rifle I thought I should prob get some white light.
I’ve never had a 18650 battery before and the last light I put on a rifle was a surefire 2P and I thought it was great but dang! This thing can throw some light! I was in the woods (shade) on a bright sunny day today and could see the beam anywhere I point to.
It doesn’t look like much. And I think I got every part from a different company. The head is a modlite okw dual fuel. The body is from arisaka. The tail cap is surefire. And I’m using the unity tactical hot button.
One issue I put a lot of thought into but am still concerned about is the placement of the lens relative to the muzzle brake (compensator?). Here’s a top down and a side view.
My concern is that the lens will get covered and caked up with the grey carbon from the muzzle and I’ll have to clean it every time I shoot.
so my question is, does someone make a sacrificial lens or maybe something like a disposable phone screen protector that could be used to protect the rather expensive head?
I was initially concerned about the muzzle blast breaking the light head. The DD brake ports seem to go directly horizontal and I positioned the head below them fo minimize concussion even though it’s supposedly fully potted.
I looked at a million images in picture threads on other sites and people just have them positioned everywhere. But you never know who actually shoots the gear haha. So just because someone else did it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
thoughts?
