    They are, I verified this with the importer, also with reliable brands if they make pressure pads and mounts for the specific model they're most likely designed to be mounted on rifles. A good way to distinguish, is to handle recoil the flashlight has to have springs on both sides of the battery, not just one side which is standard on most torches.

    What batteries do you use with this light? Leading up to my next question do you use CR123's or have you tried a rechargeable LI-Ion 18650? From what I can gather RCR123's are a bad call...

    Using plain old Energizer CR123's. In the past I've only had bad luck with the RCR123 batteries, so avoiding them as far as possible.

    That's what I've gathered from the forums. The single 18650 replaces the two rechargeable RCR123's and will theoretically work much better...my question is just around if it practically fits and whether the performance is similar to 2 x CR123's. At a cost of R85 plus for a single CR123 vs R395 for a rechargeable 18650 with a 500 cycle life it might be worth looking into...

    Except that that particular light needs 2 CR123s side by side. The 18650 is not always a direct replacement for CR123s in a linear layout either.

    Ahhh ok that little detail changes everything. This pushes my thinking wider than the Olight PL-2 and PL-Pro.

    The issue I found for most WML's was the lack of options for mounting of the pressure pad itself. Also you need to ensure that whatever light you're going to use is spec'ed to work on a rifle and handle recoil!
    Same here. Shitty mounting options and the thought that the light will fail (has not yet, both of my M2T warriors). Wish I bought a Surefire scout m600 with a arisaka before the shitshow.

    You wouldn't. It would need to be a special import.

    Speaking of such things, I was also busy prepping for a similar setup, but rather with a Reptilia Corp body and Modlite head. We will see where the pricing stands when this is all done as to if that route is still viable.
