• M3 Flashlight Foregrip Mount

Flashlights attached to a shoulder-mounted weapon or used in conjunction with a handgun must be powerful. The Surefire X200, Streamlight TLR-1/2 and ITI M3/M6 all meet this criteria. Although originally introduced with an interface only for handguns, these lights offer an excellent illumination alternative for shoulder-mounted weaponry.

Designing a foregrip flashlight mount for these tactical lights was a demanding challenge as it had to be every bit as compact and lightweight as the lights themselves. Our Tactical Illuminator Flashlight Forearm Mounting Rail is machined from solid billet 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum alloy using modern CNC machinery. The locking groove provides a reliable and stable point of retention. After being dehorned and bead blasted the mount is Type III hard-coat anodized matte black to mil-spec, so as to provide a hard combat proven finish. This forend light mount is an excellent option for users seeking an M3 flashlight rail mount that is lightweight, reliable and effective.

The handguard light mount for the M16/AR15 series of rifles can be easily installed by the operator with basic hand tools. We recommend that the rail be attached to the handguard in a location where both the momentary-on (rotate counter-clockwise) and constant-on (rotate clockwise) switch assembly can be reached by the index finger of the support hand. For a right-handed operator this will usually be on the front of the top handguard just to the right of the centerline.
