Going to be purchasing some weapon lights soon for my ar and pcc and was wondering if you guys could post some pics of your cable management so I could get some ideas?
 
I use the cloud defensive LCS. I don’t have any pics and I’m not at the house I’ll try to remember to post some tomorrow. I really like it the way it works. Holds the tape switch in place and hides most of the wire.

Please explain your setup here I see you have a Streamlight pro tac but what is going on with the pressure pad and the cable? It’s very clean!

Just used a cloud defensive LCS to mount pressure pad. The LCS has “channels” machines in it to run/hide the cable. The wire runs out the back of the pressure pad and down the left side of the LCS and then the wire is ran through a picatinny rail slot to the right side and then it’s comes back out again at the rear. That probably makes no sense. YouTube cloud defensive LCS and watch a video on how it works it’ll be much easier to follow than my word salad.

Thanks Dave!!
 
I prefer to buy Arson Machine but they are a bit pricey. There are some versions on Amazon that are slightly different. Such as Monstrum. And there’s one other that is an obvious ripoff of Arson.

It is a bit of a conundrum but where I’ve landed is Arson for my important builds and cheap Amazon stuff for my budget builds. When possible I’ll eventually convert them all to Arson Machine.
 
I personally would have went with 65lbs braid but some of us like to live on the edge!

I did some testing between the two, going from 40 to 65 crosses the point of diminishing returns. I couldn't justify the much added weight of 65 over 40 given the unnoticeable "extra" securing power. This is a LIGHT weight rifle😉

Now stow away a few hooks in the grip and it's a survival rifle!

"What'd ya catch that thing with..?"
"Oh ya know a BCM 14.5 with a medium government taper and 40lb braid"🤣🤣🤣

Ok fellas, this seems like a perfect thread for my question.

A while back my son sent me this flashlight, from his days in the army. He’s not a shooter, thought I might have a use for it.

It‘s pretty big and heavy (compared to some modern lights) but it has enough “coolness” to it that I want to add it to a rifle.


I see several of you have something similar. The pressure switch on mine doesn’t have a “mount”. What do I want to be able to attach the switch. I was thinking zip-ties. I don’t want some thing expensive. This isn’t going into combat, it’s just a fun-gun.

My ideal setup would be to be able to remove the switch quickly, since the light mount is also QD.

Probably be fine. Sure it’s made of Chinesium. But all it’s doing is holding a switch. Buy two in case one breaks.

Considering I use fishing line and tape, I'd say that's a better looking option than what I got going on😅 worth a shot to try, it looks decent.
Heck, I didnt even know things like that even existed honestly!!

If you’re using a top mounted switch, the LaRue index clips work well

Exactly what I need…and didn’t know existed. Mounted a light up two days ago, that I’d gotten for Christmas last year. 🙄

ETA: Man, I sure don’t need 72. Any chance you have ~5 (black and/or FDE) you’d part with? 🤣

Each bag comes with mostly normal clips and a few of the “hooks” and “tabs” for cables. PM sent, I’ve got a bunch of extras laying around
