SureFire Forend Weaponlights--Loose?

[BerettaNut92]

Fixed it...I suspected that but it wasn't in the installation instructions

 

[TechBrute]

Was it the setscrews?

 

[BerettaNut92]

Setscrews, yessir

Feeds most of the time with fed classic, but all of the time with premium. Since I can get the stuff at Walmart easily, I'm not gonna worry about it. Take the light off for the games which are high roundcount anyway so why abuse it

 

[TechBrute]

Surefire makes a plug for the light socket. You unscrew the light and screw in the plug. I don't know if that'd make much of a weight difference. I use it when I'm not specifically training with the light to save the wear and tear on the bulb.

I got mine about 2 weeks ago and I absolutly love the thing!

Langenator, I got my 918 in 3 days for under $200 shipped. If you decide to cancel your backordered one, call this guy first. He will meet anyones price.

I'll second the vote for Grant.

In case y'all care, my SF forend had some play in it even after cranking on the set screws. I put some duct tape on the inside of the spacer on the receiver end and some on on the outside of the spacer where it goes into the forend. The forend is nice and tight now. Now I don't have to tighten the daylights out of the set screws.

If you can't duck it...

Where can one buy this plug for the light?

 

[dwestfall]

Still waiting for SF to return mine!

Does the new SF 918 light only come in grey color? I would like to have a nice black one to keep with the look of my shotgun.

My price on the 918FA is $228 + $7 shipping.

That is the response I got from him, I don't know how you managed to pull off the light for $200 shipped!

Im going to have to go get one of those plugs for my 870 weapon light. Sounds like it might be just the trick for range practice.

 

[BerettaNut92]

Regarding those plugs, will duct tape do?

 

[TechBrute]

Duct tape would keep the ickies out whilst at the range, but for $12 street price, the plug is just less hassle.

anyone have a picture of what this plug looks like?

 

[jthuang]

It rotates a skosh clock and counterclockwise when installed properly even with the extra washer...this is normal, correct?

Sorry, I missed this post. My Responder is the older 617F (not the new 617FA) but it does not exhibit any slop.

In any event, I'm glad you solved the problem. Incidentally, I seem to have stripped the setscrew threading on one side of my 617F and it will prolly have to go back to Surefire to get fixed, even though it remains rock-solid with only one setscrew.
