Ideal Light Mount - JT
DISCONTINUED
At long, long last I have the ILM-JT available- Ideal Light Mount- and "JT"
stands for the Green Beret who suggested it.
If you want to run a laser, most if not all setups offered put it so far
from the bore that zeroing it at X distance means that at any other
distance closer or further, you'd better have your offsets memorized if you
have a thread-the-needle shot to make. Some have the laser not only way too
far above or below the bore, but also to one side or the other-- so now you
have windage corrections to consider too. This all takes so much potential
advantage away from having a laser.
And, if you want a laser on your AR, it's practically a given that you
already have, or want to have, a light on it, or a second light. I think
the Streamlight TLR-2 laser and light combo is a great AR15 accessory-- if
mounted right.
The ILM-JT mounts the TLR-2 (or Surefire X400) upside-down so the laser
beam is as close to the bore as possible-- about 3/4". This means that if
you have the laser zero'd at 25 yards, your point of impact will be 3/4"
low at contact distance, spot-on at 25 yards, and 3/4" high or less at 50
yards. The unique mounting system holds the ILM-JT securely with an option
for cross-pinning. 1/8" pins bracket your front sight base for perfect
location at installation and subsequently they positively lock the
ILM-JT in place. The trough on top of the rail allows an unimpeded sight
picture with existing iron sights, and optional tritium inserts on the
sides give instant night sights without going to the thick, hard to adjust
front post. The ILM-JT is CNC'd from 7075 T6 aluminum and hard-coat
anodized black. ILM-JT starts at $300.
