Ideas for ambidextrous tape-switch location when using AFG2?

[Christian556]

I've always used Surefire M900 lights on my AR weapons but want to give the AFG2 a try... Any opinions on tape-switch location for ambidextrous operation of a weapon light with this type of foregrip? 12-o-clock position on rail??

I like it. CQBL-1 will be going directly in front of the m720v's tapeswitch. Buis will be removed if needed. My normal (optimal) grip has the thumb directly in front of the pressure switch activation pad, but rests on the pressure switches surrounding body, if that makes sense... Slight movement/roll of the thumb rearward applies pressure and activates the light. Same grip can be applied from the opposite side of the gun. I experience no issues transitioning from left to right shoulder, however the majority of the time i retain the same hands on fire control and support, i just simply hold the gun on the left shoulder. Short rails excel with this


Optimal grip:


Optimal grip but placing rifle on left shoulder:



Full left side, everything still accessible



With the 15" KMR i used to have, it was hard to reach and work the tape switch from all 3 positions. A shorter rail and keeping everything closer in, i experience much more ease and control in activating my light

CouchOperator, thanks for the pics I think 12-0-clock is definitely the logical solution
