Light and lasers for Ar's

[Takem406]

Figured I'd start a more specific thread on this topic.

I'm a huge Streamlight fan and I'd like to mount a TLR HL on my DDm4 V7.

Also want a green laser so the TLR-2 isn't going to work. Was thinking maybe a Crimson Trace Rail master.

Anyone rigged up a TLR with a remote? Maybe on a foregrip?

What setups is everything running for night?

I'd like the CT foregrip but that thing is so expensive!

Not a Streamlight, nor do I use a laser (for the purposes I use my carbine for, I have no use for a laser) but I really like having a Surefire X300 mounted on a Mossie Midnight Mount. Light is in the 12 o'clock position which means the barrel shadow is at 6 o'clock and out of the way. This setup works better with the MOE handguards than it does round handguards

I run a vertical foregrip on my HD carbine with a built-in light. No laser tho.

I'm liking my Inforce WML so far. Really compact and easy setup. I put a quick review here http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=748450

I'm running a Sightmark green laser on my M-4gery, it works really well for me, you can use it with or without the pressure pad.

Are you talking a visible laser, or an IR laser for use with night vision?

Good for you.

I really like this laser too and I built my rifle to accommodate a lite/laser that could be easily activated without moving away from the hand guard or having wires in the system. It also keeps the light source shaded from your position on the rifle. I hit a jackpot as you can see.
I used a mid-length gas system and used the Yankee Hill folding front site, gas block, rail combination out in front of a JP Enterprises mid length hand guard. https://yhm.net/front-flip-sight-tower-w-bottom-rail.html
My light toggle just comes into the end plain of the hand guard and is easily activated by my ring finger while maintaining a full grip of the rifle. I don't know that if you were to put a piece of rail out front on the underside of your hand guard that you might accidentally tap or actuate your light but is worth investigating.
I love your rifle BTW.
