I'm looking to get a light mounted right in front of my front sight post on my carbine. So far I'm coming up with a lot of gimmicky looking items but nothing that looks solid. You guys build, see, and run more rifles than I will in years so what do you see working best? My carbine isn't free floated so I'm currently limited to what I can attach near the front sight post and still have room to properly grip the rifle so the 12 o'clock or maybe a 6 o'clock position appeals to me most, both forward of the handguard. Barring that do you have a better idea of a solid 2 piece drop in handguard that's better suited to the role? I'm currently using a UTG Pro M4 slim drop in and starting to think I'll need to change it to meet what I currently think my needs are. I only run a Magpul AFG2 and heat shield on the top rail but it needs a light. Any suggestions or opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
