Tac Star pressure switch end cap.
Model PSEC-2 this will fit into Tac-Star T-6 and Surefires 6 P, C-2, C-3< G-2, etc.
I ordered this switch from Midsouth Shooters Supply, for $14.73, but paid a little over $20.00 with shipping and handling.
I tried for fit in a Tac-Star T-6 and several others flashlights will fit in the Surefire 6-P, 9-P, G-2, the Aim-Shot Nova, and the Pelican M-6.
I mounted it in a Maadi 7,62 by 39mm using a long Weaver base for the Marlin 336 and male and female Velcro, and a Weaver 1” ring to hold the flashlight. I used the Surefire G-2 to keep the cost down in the cheap rifle.
I augmented the holding power of the Velcro with two rubber bands.
I have used this mounting set up before in a Remington 742 in 30-06, so I know for sure that it will stay put.
My favorite flashlight for this application is the TACM III that comes also with the remote cord switch. That light output is 115 lumens and is a real thrower. But this time I want to make something really inexpensive that is why I used the Surefire G-2.
The switch appears to be really well made, and it was functioning well except for the excessive force required to switch the light on.
I measured that in a scale and it was a little over ten pounds to activate the light, too much in my opinion for mere mortals without the Schwarzenegger build.
I could have lived with it, but I do find another more important problem, when holding the light on for 15 or 20 seconds the switch becomes so hot that it burns your fingers!!
So I guess my unit is defective and I will be sending it back.
I will give you an update when I get the replacement switch.
