light mount to go on a rail?

[rondog]

OK, I'm not very familiar with "rail accessories" and what's out there. But I have an M1 Carbine set up just like this one, and would like to mount a flashlight holder/clamp thingie on the rail too. It would need to hang off the left side, so I could turn it on and off. Anybody know of such a thing? And where to get one? Bowers?

CAA makes a good one (UFH) that is adjustable through 5 positions. About $26. I like it better than the Daniels Defense mount I bought first.

Available locally? Maybe Bowers?

I would check Gear Sector.

They make damn fine light mounts

Gear Sector, Danger Close Consulting and Larue Tactical all make good light mounts with various offsets.

Bowers has the Viking Tactics light mounts.

I need small and simple, nothing high-tech and tactical. This is just a carbine that I keep under the bed, and space on the rail is very limited. Only one rail too, this isn't an M4 or AR15. The Viking Tactics looks promising, I'll just drag the M1 into Bowers and see what they have.

I have a couple of the VTAC mounts. They are HUGE.

I had it mounted for ten minutes before I took it off.

It now holds an Autozone flashlight on my sons airsoft.

They are plastic too

If real estate is an issue I'd stick with the Danger Close mount or the Gear Sector mount.

This is the Danger Close mount holding a Surefire E2D on my rifle. It takes up about half the space of the Larue or Vtac mounts.

while somewhat shy regarding UTG items on some firearms, i looked at this one today over at bear arms in windsor. very impressed with not only the lumen output but overall mfg. the grip is one of the more comfortable ones i have handles including higher end (over $100).
If i was in the market for a grip light combo, this i would invest in . YMMV
