Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
Be happy to!
The light is a 3P clone I put together last year, intended to be used for EDC. Though I really like the light, it just didn't fit my hand or pocket as well as the "super Quark" I continue to use (QT2L-X turbo head/780 lumens on a AA body using an IMR 14500 battery).
The 3P clone is made of a SF Z44 (6P) bezel with a Malkoff M61N drop in, a SF Z59 tail cap and an Oveready 3P delrin body (discontinued) housing an IMR 18350 battery. The mount is a L&M.
Mine is newer and other than needing some significant windage adjustment on the rear sight, runs fine on Federal LE loads. I replaced the magazine spring with a Wolff, the thin plastic OEM follower with a GG&G stainless steel unit, installed a green FO front sight, a GG&G bolt handle, a CDM Gear BMT mount and a Speedfeed youth stock that I installed a QD socket in.
Yes, I have two 1187s. ;-/

In 1995 we still had the M121's on the road. I attended a HK armorers class and brought one. The instructor told me he had no idea how to work on one, and that it was the only one he had ever seen still being used in Police Service.
Who made the front sight?

Not NH shooter but it looks like a Hi-Viz brand.
Correct!

Thank you very much! you have no idea how much this helps.
NH Shooter - thank you very much for the information and the links, I appreciate it. I have an SBR that would work well with that setup.
YAW
The Oveready body was bored to accept 18mm cells. Finding 3P bodies is tough enough let alone bored to take larger cells. Oveready no longer offers the body I used but this one looks pretty good;

The 18350 cell, Malkoff drop-in, Surefire bezel and tail cap are all easy to find.
Here is a review of the Malkoff MD2 flashlight with a M61 drop-in (includes beam shots and run time graph) - http://flashlightguide.com/2013/11/r...d2-flashlight/
Be aware that with the shorter 3P body and 18350 (800 mha) cell, you will only get about 15 -20 minutes of full output run time before the light starts to gradually taper off to 50% output at around 45 minutes. Longer run times will require the full length 6P body. Even an unbored 6P body can accept a 16650 (2500 mah) cell for 3X the run time with that particular drop-in.
In my case, the run time with the 18350 cell is adequate for the shotgun's intended HD use.
