Ideas and photos for flashlight mounts
- Thread starter Bruski
- Start date
I bought a 500 Cruiser, shown on the right:
and it had this Insight tactical flashlight forearm.
When you switch it on with the small main switch, the pressure-sensitive grip switches have 3 modes: momentary on, on constantly, or strobe light.
It goes on and off the gun quite easily just by removing the barrel and one nut. ( circular thing shown in the 2nd photo.)
It seems to light up very well but personally I can't recommend it unless you have very large hands.
I have medium sized hands and I find the thing too large to grab and hang onto while I'm racking off the rounds.
The battery is well waterproofed by double o-rings & easy to change, and if you buy them in six-packs, only $2 each. (If you buy them at the wrong place you can get ripped off $12 for a 2 pack!)
The whole thing appears to be permanently glued together I cannot figure out how to take it apart and doesn't appear to be possible nor does it appear to be possible to ever change the lightbulb.
This is, however, an LED light, and so with the proper battery voltage the light should last longer than I do.
Still this is a $200 MSRP light, and I think it's a pitty that you can't change the bulb or the switches: two of the three things that always wear out.

I use this system for mounting a flashlight on my Mossberg 590a1...

Here's a setup I use. Dunno if the links still work or not. I have one on the AR and one on the AK. I need to make up a couple more.
They're set up to mount to a rail. A clamp on tri rail for the barrel or mag tube is easy to come by as well.

CDM Gear. I'm using here for the QD push button sling mount but it includes a 3 slot rail and hardware. He has several options for Mossberg. Some models have a permanent ring for the light and others use the rail. Some have the QD sling socket, others don't.
I rock a Minataur railed setup.... Only added 9.3 more pounds to the gun.
OK, I keeed. I'm keeeding.
I 100% agree with @SHOOTER13, there is an Elzetta ZSM on my gun.
I'm not actually sure how to respond to that, lol!
In the middle of the night laying in bed I had the light bulb go off and remembered Mossberg included a barrel clamp with my 500 because it was a combo that included 2, it ain't the prettiest or most "tactical" solution but I already had the flashlight so this costed me Nathan
