I will tell you one thing, that UTG mount is crap but the Surefire-ripoff flashlight is actually really nice. It is a 150 lumen LED bulb from the same manufacturer and in the same size and style as Surefire. I would say that it is the same bulb actually used in a Surefire model except that I don't recall any Surefires in that size using anything over a 120 lumen bulb.

ANYHOW, what I am getting at is that that UTG crenelated flashlight is a nice little piece of weapon light. Get a good, offset light mount and mount that UTG and you will be in business.

Or, if you really feel the need to have a nice, name brand light, you can do what I did and take the bulb out of that UTG flashlight and drop it into an old, non-LED Surefire 6P or 6P defender. Again, it is the same size, style and manufacturer so you can just drop it in. The old 6Ps go for around 40-50 dollars. I picked up a non-LED defender for 47 bucks the other day and bam, 150 lumen LED surefire on the cheap.

As far as the actual mount goes, there is an offset one on Amazon for about ten bucks which is actually solid. Let's see... http://www.amazon.com/TACTICAL-JETBeam-JET-III-Diameter-Flashlight/dp/B002ZYRV2E/

As someone in the reviews mentions, it is probably made for an airsoft rifle or something along those lines, but it is definitely solid enough for actual use on a 5.56 AR. I bought one just to check it out, and I really have no issues with it. And I really tend to me completely unwilling to put knock-off brands on my rifles. I just can't justify paying the 30-50 dollars the name brands ask for a piece of plastic or metal to mount a light. Hell, I was looking at a Viking Tactics offset mount for 30 bucks and I honestly liked this cheap, 10 dollar mount better.

I have the exact same light (XL-200) and I bought this. Makes a nice handle when not attached to a rail, and keeps it from rolling around. Fits nicely around the smooth part near the battery opening.

The body of the light is too wide for the mount.

Here's the mount

The light is one that came in a 3 pack for $20 at Costco. They're pretty bright, and hold up alright.

I basically cut the clamp off. The part that hooks to the rail itself. Then I plan to weld/jb weld/epoxy the flashlight to it. I think it should work till I can afford something better.

I'll throw up a pic or two when it's done.

Nope.. Mine is this.

It is total shit. But it was cheap and I needed one. It works Ok..ish

The head of it is 1" (25.4mm) and the middle has a section that is 0.882in (22.4mm) that is ~1.75"(44.5mm) long.

After some brief research, I'm not finding an inexpensive flashlight mount that would work. My solution would be to get a simple one like this: www.amazon.com/TACTICAL-Mount-JETBeam-Diameter-Flashlight/dp/B002ZYRV2E/

And then file/grind down the flat parts (where the screws go through) so it will clamp down on the slightly smaller middle section of the TN12. I see some reports that suggest this might work unaltered.

This isn't a weapon light, I wouldn't trust it to work except for the few shots you'd need against an intruder.

Copied from the album:

>Fantastic little light package. The reason I particularly like this kit is because the the flashlight houses its own charging circuit, so you just plug Micro USB in and you can charge it on the fly (off a phone charger), no need for something like a NiteCore charger.

>The overall size of this thing is tiny for how much light it puts out. It has three settings, with memory for the last one used when turned on, from 'blinding' to 'good enough' to 'decidedly dim, but bright enough to not trip over things'. I set it to the middle one. While it has a strobe mode, it's quite difficult to activate accidentally --requiring repeated rapid presses -- which is great for Nerf. I did have to pad the mount with a rubber band, as the flashlight is a smidge under the 1" diameter for the mount. That's fine, though, as it protects the finish of the flashlight from metal-on-metal contact. A polymer mount would be significantly lighter, and I might look to see if one is out there.

>The parts of this kit are as follows.:

>MagPul 5-slot MOE rail

>Off-set 1" Flashlight Picatinny Mount

>JetBeam EC-R16
