Cheap way to attach a surefire G2 to my mossberg 590

I agree about the G2s switch.


Honestly, I think I might go with your advice on the Polytac, if it turns out it's just as bright as the G2 with the CREE LED.

I think the G2 serves very well as a pocket light, but I don't want to be taking the light on and off of my gun every night.

i agree with the surefire forend light on any model ACCEPT the 590

unless they have changed the design you have to cut off your bayonet lug to fit the surefire

now i know its a silly thing but alot of us who own a 590 own it for the accessories that came with it otherwise we would have bought the 500 pursuader so to lob off a chunk of the gun just for a light is a silly idea

and on surefires part to design a light that you have to cut your gun apart to fit is an even sillier idea

my suggestion for the 590 owners is either go with that new mount posted previously (after its finished) or get a mesa tactical mount and pressure switch with coils because complete control is required for defencive light use

otherwise pick a different gun to mount lights on i personaly will NOT cut my 590 to fit a surefire ill adapt and overcome with a "lesser" design rather than chopping up my baby

I went through this issue with the surefire forend on my 590. Surefire sent me a slightly shorter flashlight bezzel for the foreend. With cautious use of a dremmel tool, I was able to get the flashlight foreend to fit and still have a lug that works. It wasn't that hard or time consuming (few hours at most).

"For exceptionally hard-recoiling weapons such as 12-gauge shotguns and larger caliber rifles, where batteries may be damaged by slamming together, SureFire recommends our special shock-resistant battery sticks. These consist of two, three, or four batteries assembled inside a heat-shrunk polymer sleeve, with each battery physically separated from the others by a load-bearing fiber washer, but electrically connected by a welded metal conductor. For low-recoiling weapons, such as 5.56mm self-loading rifles, standard SureFire SF123 batteries function perfectly."

My 623FA came with two 123s, not the stick.
