CDM BMT Light mount

[Hookster]

Welcome to the forum Case!! May be able to trade out the bolt on the CDM to something that could be tightened/loosened with a quarter etc. I've mocked mine up with tape where I think I can get it to sit using the CDM with the 6 slot rail mounted offset from the end and liked the positioning well enough although I can't tell for sure if I will have clearance enough at the front of the forearm. I may need to shim the rail out slightly and trade out to slightly longer rail mount bolts

Thanks for the welcome.
Swapping the bolts is a good idea. I don't like having to do that but I may go that route. I will look at it when the new mounts come out and then make my purchase.

Curious: Why the 6 slot rail on the CDM for you?

I like this due to the strobe mode but the price is silly and dont even have a laser at that price

also like the lever to take on off

I will probably order both the 4 and 6 slot rails but it looks like the 6 slot has a set of holes at the end which would put the other end of the rail a little further back than you could get the 4 slot assuming you have the clamp portion as far back as it will go on the mag tube. I'm thinking I will probably have to remove the factory forward sling plate to help with the clearance. It it sounds linked the new clamp will provide a new forward sling mount. I'm looking to have the light mounted on the right side so that I'd be activating with left hand index finger. I'll keep you posted... And if anyone has any other ideas along these lines I'd love to hear them..

Why not just go Delta Force and Duck Tape a light on your Benelli. Or get this Its 1000 Lumen, MTE M3-2l Tactical Flashlight by Greg Mcgee. That you can take on and off real easy.

I used superglue with the BLAM and 2K rounds later, it is still tight. How long will the bond hold, don't know, but still good-to-go

[Case]

Doesn't suit me for the following reasons:

- I own my gun, not the US Government. As such, I refuse to mount anything with Duct Tape to the weapon except in a dire emergency. It is a tool and I have no problem getting it dirty or scratched during use but using tape to strap on a light (or anything else) is for weapons that belong to someone else. If it gets dinged or beat to h*ll I don't fill out a form for a new one; I get out my wallet. (And I fill out a form, but you get the idea.)

- Not interested in the strobe feature, nor am I interested in the full-size lights. Want to keep the weight down. For my application the x300 is fine. If I were going for the full-size lights and strobe I would get the Elzetta. Those lights are made in the USA (unlike the Mears light) and they are superb.

Edited to add: I don't mean to impugn the quality of a made in China light in principle. No doubt that light is very tough and good value for money. I prefer to buy stuff made in the USA if I can. It's a personal preference.

I can understand that but where was your shotgun made?

[Case]

Mine was made in Italy.
It's true that I could have bought a Mossberg 930 SPX. It's also true that the Benelli M4 is a superior shotgun. But the Benelli costs more than 2x as much. Is it twice as good? Depends who you ask. I felt it was worth it, even though it wasn't made in the USA.
