A few weeks ago I purchased an Off-Set Tactical Light Mount for my AR. So far – I have been very pleased. Matched up with a Streamlight Polytac LED Flashlight – this is an excellent system system for illuminating targets in night conditions.

The mount attaches to a picatinny rail or weaver base via a single knurled knob which can be hand-tightened. It also can be tightened with a wrench – but I found that not necessary.

With this offset design – it is very easy to access the button for a momentary on/off using the hand holding the fore-grip. When maneuverering  – a simple touch to the button on the back of the Polytac shines a super bright light downrange.

4 screws hold the upper and lower halves of the rings together and engulf the flashlight. Rings are for 1″ flashlights which is very standard. After shooting a couple of hundred rounds – I did not have any issues with the rings or mount loosening up. Would not be a bad idea to Loc-tite the rings to a flashlight if it is a dedicated system.

Wondering what lurks in the dark? I don’t anymore.

At $12.30 (at the moment) plus Free Shipping on orders over $25.00 – I think it is a pretty good deal. Grab the Polytac while your at it for around $35.00 – great light.
