I have an AR with KAC Micro BUIS. I want to mount my Surefire

Similar view. I'd want the front sight mounted in that space forward of the light mount on the top rail

Anon, I had a Thorntail SBR Mount with an M300C on it once upon a time, and I think you could get the proper clearance. You would have to mount the BUIS right near the bezel, and mount the Thorntail SBR on the 9 o clock rail and not the 12 o clock rail for the extra room. I base this on having the light with the mount and, not a Micro BUIS, but a KAC Rail Mounted QD point, which should bolt on with a similar clamp and screw.

I would also consider looking at the new American Defense Manufacturing Offset Scout Mounts. I say I used to have an M300C on the Thorntail SBR because I upgraded to the AMD Offset Mount for dat sweet QD action.

I will bump with pics.

Thanks man I'll look into the ADM QD mount

I tore apart my 2 rifles to bring you this blurry ass photo of the M300C on an ADM Scout Offset Mount fitting with a couple millimeters of space between the bezel and the screw of the QD Rail Mount. It's on the wrong side, yes, but it would be a mirror image on the side you want it, and I don't want to look for the allen wrench to disassemble my light setup and then have to re-loctite it and shit. ADM makes a cantilever version too which is probably the same dimensions and would probably still fit. I'd surmise that the Thorntail SBR would fit as well, since it offers more room when mounted on the side rails.

neat
thanks anon

>>32342189
Perfect. I'm gonna go with the cantilever version. Thanks for going through the hassle I appreciate it!

Derp wrong picture, this is the one that shows, or doesn't show, the mild gap between the light and the screw.

Keep in mind that you will have to mount the light at the 9 o clock position and not the 12 o clock to get the proper clearance. And also keep in mind that I am using stand in parts, as I do not have a Micro BUIS Front Sight, and I don't know if your rail has a similar dimension to the Knights Armament RAS. There are a lot of variables at play here, as with any gear decision. That being said, I think you could jury rig something with the parts you have mentioned. If I were in your position I would give something a try.

I do love the ADM mount though, it solved the problem I was having with the Thorntail where I had to use a fucking allen key to get the light off every time I had to disassemble the rail. Now the light just pops off when I throw the lever. I think if you get the Offset Cantilever Mount, you will have a properly spaced and modular setup. The Thorntail should work too, but you will have to get used to bolting it on and off, depending on your rail setup and your maintenance schedule.

You are welcome /k/omrade. I would love to see your setup.

Let it be said that, once in a while, anon does deliver. Now I have to put my 2 rifles back together.

>>32342232
I'll post it as soon as I get the parts in. Thanks again man

I did the same thing but with MBUS and a super cheapo offset mount. Observe

>>32342294
I really like that while from my regular grip on the afg, I can rest my thumb on the momentary on button and depress it as I like. Only thing i don't like is that I can only really operate the MBUS by curling my index finger upwards instead of hitting it with my thumb (blocked by a big ass surefire light in the way)

Anon who posted ADM pics here.

I actually mount my light at the 1 o clock position and use a Surefire SR07 at 12 o clock so I get momentary and constant with separate switches with a C Clamp Grip. I never liked the Z68 cap because I didn't like accidentally clicking it on when I just wanted momentary, and the SR07 fixes that. Once my DS00 switch comes in the mail, I will have a failsafe click activation mode on the light itself separate from the tape switch, making for a perfect scout light setup.

I also never liked having the light on the left side because it snags on gear at rest (I'm right handed), and obstructs your peripheral view a little bit if you are right eye dominant (I am). The trade off I have to deal with, though, is having barrel shadow at 7:30 instead of 4:30, but it's not within the hot spot and not a super big deal. Just a minor drawback to putting a light on a basic bitch A Frame FSP 14.5 inch barrel M4gery setup, though.

Oh yeah, if anyone is curious as to what I've done with the stray tape switch cable, it is tucked into a Manta Micro Pocket Switch Holder, which mates perfectly with the SR07 on 6 inches of rail, the same length as on the RAS. It butts right up against the switch to fully encapsulate the stray cable. I was super stoked when I figured this out, as it meant no more jury rigged ranger bands on the rail to manage the cable.
