Lever Gun Light Mount

[jkbrea]

Ever since AJMD429 posted his homemade light mount on his levergun years ago, I've wanted one.
Only problem is hardly anyone makes a light mount for a carbine that isn't bulky, except Hill People Gear. Got it today and installed in about one minute! It's on my Winchester Trapper .357.

That should work for things that go bump in the night!

Yeah. I got it because we got wolves coming down lately. They killed an elk and deer downrange and crippled a deer in my front yard. Gotta keep my dogs in at night now. This mount is awesome. Beats holding a flashlight in one hand.

I've had my eye on that mount, I'll have to get one.
What model of surefire in the light? And does it have a momentary on?

The light is a Surefire X300 that is pretty old. I took it off my duty Kimber 1911. It has a momentary mode by pushing the switch in slightly. It does have a slight wobble but I think they came with different adapters to make it snug. The light mount is $95. I'm sure it could be made much cheaper but no one makes them for a .357. I've seen some people try shotgun receiver light mounts but you have to use a lot of rubber lining to make it fit and it looks large.

I have several of those HPG mounts and use Streamlight Pro Tac lights with the switch mounted on the foreend
