AR-15 BS Thread

hlx is about $104 on Amazon but just make sure it's not a fake when you get it. I think one tell tell sign is the real ones rubber o ring gaskets on the click caps are orange in color and not black.

 

Oh damn that’s pretty good the hlx was $179 on Peimary arms idk if I’m looking at something different it did have a laser which idk if I’d use or not

 

Hlx is in my cart I’ll have to look and see if Amazon has any mounts have you seen any on there for Mlock.

 

Never look there for the mount. Arisaka is probably the most used mount with this light.

 

I’ve never looked for them do you look on their site or somewhere like PA or OP?

 

As previously mentioned was bcm some of that is laziness as I was ordering a grip from bcm so just added it to the cart.

Haley strategic is right down the street from me may pop in one day to look at other options but this works well and I kinda like it a little further off the rail as I run suppressed 99% of the time

 

CD will give you a wicked discount if you trade in a light, info on their website.

 

Unless they have improved, Streamlights gave off terrible light, both in color and beam intensity. Waste of money.

I completely agree with you on justifying the price of Surefire these days now that they have competition, but there is a compromise.
If you search Scout light on Ebay...there are $30-$50 Jap-Crap versions...which are actually not crap. They are identical in every way to a real surefire except the momentary switch does not work as it should (it does not come on at all until completely depressed and click). The tape switch works 100% They take rechargeable RCR123. I have a had a couple for a few years with zero issues. It comes with a black tape over the surefire logo. They even have the fancy flip mount ones

Otherwise I would look into Olight. Their Valkerie or Baldr...are insanely bright (the brightest gun lights I have seen). I think they make some tape switch lights too, but not as glamorous looking as Surefire or Cloud

 

Is this what you got?

Yes Sir, when you remove the "Caution Hot" sticker...engraved Surefire logo underneath.

 

probably made on the same factory floor as the realsies.
Streamlight is made in China now.
Bummer cause my old Stinger was built to last.

 

You’re talking to a guy that has tried too many times the knockoff route haha.

Buy once and cry once.

I was mostly raggin on streamlight’s decline from its glory years.

 

olight has a sale on their Odin Mini right now

 

Another hlx here

 

I'm just never comfortable with people taking that last pic. I mean you do you but looking down the barrel of a gun unloaded or not is not really high on my list of things to do.

 

Except it's a camera and not your face taking the picture lol, well hopefully anyway.

 

Honest question, not trying to troll but how often are folks actually using their weapon lights?

I get having a light on your bump in the night gun (although I prefer a separate flashlight so I’m not pointing a gun at my wife, kids, or dog when it turns out they’re the source of the noise) but I see a lot of folks post with a light on every single gun they own.

Are folks doing a lot more night shooting than me? Or is it more of a would rather have and not need than need and not have mentality?
