Mounting A Surefire Light

About this video

McPhee demonstrates how to mount a Surefire Mini Scout Light Pro flashlight on a 14.5-inch Citizens Arms rifle using a KDG pressure-and-release rail system. He discusses his preferred flashlight positioning, the benefits of modular mounting, and explains how this setup maintains a lightweight configuration while providing 500 lumens of output with a 175-meter effective range.

Key takeaways

• McPhee prefers lighter, more compact weapon-mounted flashlights for his rifles and recommends the Surefire Mini Scout Light Pro for its balance of power and weight
• McPhee favors KDG pressure-and-release rails that allow quick removal and repositioning of flashlights between firearms without permanent mounting
• McPhee positions the flashlight at approximately 1-2 o’clock rather than the 6 o’clock position to avoid muzzle shadow, maintain target visibility, and ensure easy thumb-switch access
