Good question. I grab the forend with a thumb-over grip and activate the tail cap switch with the backside of my index finger, between the first and second joint. It's easier to do than to describe.ChopperDoc wrote:Frailer wrote:...Question on your light setup: With the sling on there do you have issues getting to the tailcap button? I don't see a tape switch.

Re: The Black Rifle Pic Thread
With that setup, the support hand (behind the sling loop) will thrust forward on the handguard using the sling loop itself to activate the tail cap switch.ChopperDoc wrote:Interesting.

Question on your light setup: With the sling on there do you have issues getting to the tailcap button? I don't see a tape switch.
Usually you see this utilized on carbine length handguards but due to the support arm extended grip the setup you see is becoming more and more prevalent.

Re: The Black Rifle Pic Thread
Yeah, I activate my light the same way, have the same mount. I figured that one of two things might happen:325MOUTguru wrote:With that setup, the support hand (behind the sling loop) will thrust forward on the handguard using the sling loop itself to activate the tail cap switch.ChopperDoc wrote:Interesting.

1) inadvertent momentary activation of the light by pressure on the sling swivel there in normal grip
2) unreliable activation of the light due to the sling swivel there.
I have been using a thumb over grip but took that bayo lug sling swivel off and installed a Magpul sling mount and use the MS3 sling mostly in single point mode for operation. But hey, if it works that is what counts. I have not tried it like that, just making some assumptions based on how it looks I guess.

Re: The Black Rifle Pic Thread
Largely your assumptions are correct.
I ran one of the AAs we tested that way and didn't care for it due to the reasons you listed.

Actually, the fella who sold me the upper also has an old metal stock he's sending me. Needs some tlc but I should be able to get it serviceable with a bit of work.
