Light and QD Sling Swivel

[aegusto]

I am trying to figure out how to mount BOTH a 1" light and a push-button QD sling swivel on the left side of the shotgun towards the muzzle. I'm right handed and prefer keeping all the controls on the left. A tape switch and cord is out because that combination does not play well with the pump-action. A Surefire forend is also out. I hate those things. Implicit in all this is that I will be running a two-point Vickers sling on Magpul furniture, with the rear sling swivel here:



and the front sling swivel here:



I gather from the second photo above that the Magpul clamp will accept a QD sling swivel.

Here's what I have come up with, but have not bought the parts yet:

Magpul clamp with QD swivel in front, with a L&M single-ring magazine-tube light mount installed to avoid interfering with the swivel:



I don't run a sling at home, but when taking a class, slings are pretty much required. Alternatively, I could run the light mount at home and add the swivel only when attending classes.

Suggestions and comments from those with experience on similar setups will be appreciated.

Decent solution, however there are actually several 1" Mounts and Mount/Clamp combo on the market. Check out Amazon, Ebay and MidwayUSA. Oh and don't forget Brownells. I apologize for not having the exact links handy, I just wanted to let you know there are different solutions to mount a 1" diameter Flashlight on your Barrel/Mag Tube out there. You just have to do some searching, and then you can use your Mount as well as your Sling at the same time. If I can remember exactly where I found these mounts, I'll edit and let you know, but they are indeed out there.

Trying to put a lot of stuff on one side. How about put the sling on bottom? And so far as changing around for class, train the way you'll use it and stick with that configuration.

This is a TLR-7A pistol light but I like the switch actuation better than other options.

Ya, I've looked at all those places and the L&M mount is the best solution (in my opinion) that I've found. The CDM Gear MOD-C light mount would work too, except they don't make those anymore.

That's right, they stopped making them.
