Uhh...why should I buy a heavy ass rail, a $50 mount and another $60 loopy thing to hold a $300 light when I can do this...?

If you're alright with that setup then you shouldn't.
What you should do is stop shitposting.

>>30085129

>>30085023
>a heavy ass rail
Most normal rails and nearly all negative space rails are lighter than plastic handguards and their associated mounting hardware, you fucking dumbass.
Also that masking tape is not going to support the weight of that cheap, crappy light long-term. The reason you buy a Surefire G2X Tactical for $70 (MSRP) and an Impact Weapons Components TMC 1" light mount for the A2 clamshells you're too cheap and stupid to replace ($59.95) is because they won't break or fall off at the worst possible time like your jarry-rigged bullshit will, you niggardly faggot.
>>30085023

You should have used some electrical tape wound tightly around the light. Not only would it match your rifle, but it would work better than what you have.
Get a maglite for 30 bucks and a 1" ring for at max 5 bucks.
Around the same price and WAY more stable with better quality.

No rats rail switches. Leaving on any illuminator or light full time is pretty much instant death in a night fight.

But mainly if you wander around with that turned on you are dead.
Dead from observation, dead from NV, dead from thermal and you can't shoot back at range at night or at all really.

yeah, it can get shaken around, just like every other non-$5-chinkshit flashlight, congratulations
Like if you're going to be bullshitting, at least give the actual G-force that the flash light is rated for
And also, you use the flashlight to identify the target BEFORE you pull the trigger and give Jamal a dozen new breathing holes so it's not like shock resistance really matters anyway

I don't think I'd be as cheap as OP (who in all likelihood just posted this to rile up fags like you) but being proud you spent 3x the money on a flashlight you mostly use just to post on /arg/ isn't a good thing.
It's the firearms equivalent of lifting your truck and using it as a mallcrawler.
I like the round plastic hand guards. Comfortable, light, better with heat than aluminum, only needed to mount a light, couldn't see adding weight of a quad rail then the weight of all the rail covers just to get back to a round grip plus the weight and cost. Answer elzetta zfr. Highly recommend. Even the barrel shadow is more preferable with a forward bottom mount.
>>30092331
Nothing beats raging rich faggots pretending they can do whatever they want but just pour obscene amounts of money into flashlights and mounts because they aren't spending money on more important things
I'm sorry about your pride
>>30092369
Hey man where did you get that picture of me
>>30092373
For $60,- you can get a decent setup which will not fall off after shooting 30 rounds.
I never said I'd spend 3x the money, my point is your priorities are wrong when you decide to use painters tape to attach a light to your gun.
>>30092380
On my rifle. Midlength puts it even closer to end of barrel
I bet OP doesn't even have a nice bcg in that piece o shit rifle
>>30087872
You cheaped out on the maglite. If you got a bigger one and put it on your AR you could of turned the rifle into a club.
>>30092420

>>30092381
If this was posted in a thread with someone showing off how much money they dumped on their rifle it would make some sense.
Instead you are posting it in a thread about someone who taped a light to his hand guard pretending it to be anywhere near as good as effective/reliable as buying a rail with mounts and a $300,- light.
When called out it is a stupid idea people pretend they could just buy some decent mount but they'd rather spend the money on ammo.
This isn't even about being poor, its about parading around your stupid solution for a problem already solved in a decent way and being all defensive about it.
>>30092380
That actually looks quite clever since that post doesn't heat up.
>>30092452

why are poorfags so retarded
>>30092458
Its fucking legit. You just slide your hand down the barrel/ grip and activate the rear button with the ridge between your thumb and pointy. You don't even change grip position or lift a finger. If you have a sling your pushing the sling loop into the button. Unless you operate full operator style with a tight sling, it's pretty sweet
>>30092458
Fsp does heat up, quite a bit by the barrel, but the elzetta is good. LE tested/approved. Originally a solution to side mounted not fitting in gun racks in squad car.
>>30092510
Would fit.
Still cheaper than OP's idea. Better too.

it's your money faggot, do whatever you want with it
While we are talking mounting retina raping devices, does anybody know of an offset quick detach 1" light mount? I need one that allows the flashlight to be removed and leave the mount attached to the rail.
Basically I'm looking for an offset surefire m79 that uses as little polymer as possible.
>>30092690
the logo separates it from the chink shit companies that you seem to like. if i want a weapon light im going to buy the best there is so my shit doesnt break from use. that tape in the OP will fail and his chink tier light will break under and sort of heavy use.
poorfags have an excuse for everything it seems. just cause you cant afford it or dont want it because of muh logo doesnt make your shit products any better.
>>30092713
>I need one that allows the flashlight to be removed and leave the mount attached to the rail.
