Remote switch mounting

[CBRKURT]

What is the best way to mount a remote switch for flash lights to the hand guard of a rifle or shotgun?

I used a zip tie and threaded the wire through my rails. It all depends on the switch, what you have on the gun and what your OCD level is. I have seen guys use duct tape, or inner tube tire rubber... I have seen guys use a $20 mount made for it. Its your call and every set up is different. LaRue makes a special clip that secures the wire to the rail.

How would you use a zip tie for the switch? wouldn't that just turn the switch on?

Not necessarily; You could zip tie the top & bottom of the switch, which will most likely not trigger it.

I'm waiting for my upper to come in and I'll be using a Magpul AFG because I can't use a vertical pistol grip. Does anyone have experience using one of those with a momentary tail cap?

tactical rubber band (cut inner tube) is my method of choice

On my Mossberg 500 I used a nice thick bead of black rtv silicone on the backside of the switch. Let it dry a couple of days before use. Been on over a year, has not come off yet. When I want to remove it, I'll just peel silicone off.

YMMV, this works for me.


This is how I hold the rifle when I need the to use the switch


Other people have other ways, its all up to you.
