TLR-1 AR15 front sight?

[Guest]

Is there an AR15 front sight that clamps around the head of a TLR-1 head (if light is mounted in 12 o'clock position) that works with standard AR rear sights?

If any of you get the Blue Force Gear catalogs, there is a fella in there that appears to have a setup like this.

there is a mount that clamps to the front sight and allows the TLR-1 on at a 3 or 9 oclock position. not finding the one you mean on the site. not very well laid out

Yeah, a picture is worth a 1000 words, but even if I could get a good scan of what I refer to, it's still kind of vague and obscured

If it's a Vickers setup, it's likely a Daniel Defense AR-15 Lite Rail 12.0 FSP setup. Larry Vickers uses this setup extensively. There is a rail that encapsulates the FSP.

Nope, this thing was clamped around the head of the light.

could it have been a ring? in 1" or 30mm or whatever the light is?

That's pretty sweet.

It was my idea... I made one from an old ring half and elbow grease. I tried talking Vltor into making them. If I had manufacturing resources at my disposal, I'd build them. Mine was for the x300.

This is a interesting idea...

However, wouldn't you lose the ability to adjust the front sight?

I hand filed it to make it the correct height compared to my reddot. Windage is super easy to adjust on it. If I had the manufacturing ability, it would looks something like this. (Something I modeled up really quick)
