THS_g00s Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Hi all, I have just bought my self a new AEG, and I usually hold the gun against the magwell. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to mount a weapon light with pressure pad on there? I don't like foregrips so they are out of the question. I have been thinking black silicone sealant, or maybe electrical tape. I thought I would check in with you guys to see whether you have any smarter ideas? Cheers, Goose
THS_g00s Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 That is a good shout! I hadn't thought about that. I had seen this, but couldn't find one in the UK. http://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Light-Switch-Mount-Black/dp/B0046IMWXK

I have one on my SCAR and it works well. My M4 has a CAA style mag grip and the flashlight switch is taped to it with black electrical tape. The problem I find with velcro is that the bit that attaches to the rubber switch doesn't stay put for long.

I now superglue the velcro on Lozart and clumpyedge 2
dEFCONairsoft Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I'll second sticky backed velcro pads - makes it much simpler to take off to change batteries or strip the weapon
Supporters Lozart Posted June 12, 2015 Supporters Posted June 12, 2015 I've ably sidestepped the removing the pressure pad problem by having enough torches and pads to have one each on all my guns.... dEFCONairsoft and MagpieTactical 2
Spatch Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 I generally use sticky Velcro but have used those 'command stick strip' things that can easily be removed and replaced when you need to
Supporters TheFull9 Posted June 13, 2015 Supporters Posted June 13, 2015 Get yourself on eBay, when you need small amounts of material supplies like velcro, tape, batteries, zip ties, small tools etc etc it's the easiest way to get hold of stuff. Should be able to find some 3M branded high strength sticky-backed stuff that'll stay put. Airsoft_Mr B 1
THS_g00s Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 I went for Velcro pads but the pad came off so I superglued it. Seems pretty solid. I don't have the problem of using it on more than one gun because I only have the one ha. But when I do, I can just add sticky Velcro and then sorted. Cheers all.
