I recently purchased several BugOutGear Q5 drop-in modules. Love them! :twothumbs
One was slated for a Surefire Classic Universal Weaponlight on an AR-15. Unfortunately, because of the shape of the lamp housing, I couldn't get the BOG Q5 to fit properly. I tried using a head from a C2, and I also tried using the contact spring Flavio (BOG) sent me, but nothing worked.
My proposed solution is to install the BOG Q5 in a 6P, and replace the tailcap with an XM pressure switch assembly. I tested this by screwing on an XM assembly onto a BOG Q5 equipped C2. There was a small gap between the C2 body and the XM assembly after the threads bottomed out, but there seemed to be enough threading to hold the parts together and the pressure switch worked fine.
Will I run into any problems because the 6P doesn't have the battery barrier and the recoil-damping sleeve that the Classic Universal Weaponlight has?
Any suggestions to improve this set-up?
BTW, does anyone know if the drop-in will work in a SF M951 weaponlight? The BOG Q5 is supposed to work in an M2, and I think the M951 shares the same head as the M2; but I don't know if the M951 lamp housing will accept the drop-in.
:thanks:
