I have a Streamlight TLR-1 that I was thinking of mounting on my AR-15 that has a railed gas block until I realized that the TLR uses plastic block adapters to fit various rails (1913, glock, beretta, etc).
I know that things like the plastic Magpul flip-up sights aren't recommended for use on railed gas blocks due to the heat, so I imagine this wouldn't be any different.
I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of other peoples' AR's with a TLR mounted on the gas block though - has anyone here done it and is it ok, or did it melt?
