    Thorntail. I absolutely love mine. Mount it at 11 or 1 o’clock and blue loctite the two screws. Solid platform.

    I bought the HLX and have been very happy with it. I'm currently using the Cloud Defensive tape switch shoe and a IWC/HSP Thorntail mount. Puts the set up forward and up enough to be comfortable on my SBR.

    Pics of my M&P 15 with the Thorntail. Its been beating around in my trunk for a few months with the Comp M5 with no issues to the Comp M5 or the Thorntail. I used blue thread lock on the mounting srews and its still holding strong.

    This is what I'm considering: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/96...aluminum-matte
    I ended up ordering this. Midway didn't carry any of the other suggestions and it's a setup I'm already familiar with as that's what the dept used to attach lights to the non-railed DRMO rifles.

    I did this and then immediately slapped my forehead for never thinking of it myself. So much better.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Glad to help! The only reason I'm not doing it is that I'm currently using a Magpul MOE forend, which does not have 12 o'clock mounting.
