Re: Mounting A Light On A 500 Tactical Cruiser/Persuader
Got mine off ebay, (little story here)
I made one, and thought I would be a millionaire, then looked on ebay and was quickly let down.....
It does not clamp on the tube persey, it just goes under the mag tube nut. The nut holds it on, its basically a washer. There are plenty of threads on the 590 system to still be secure.
I made mine from aluminum. The ones I have bought were steel. Aluminum has held up fine.
I put the large pic up to show just how easy one can be made......
I am working on one now that flips the rail and goes forward to go under the bbl and the light will come out just at the end of an 18.5 bbl.

Re: Mounting A Light On A 500 Tactical Cruiser/Persuader
nice and simple, but, those are for a Remington 870. anyone know if this will fit a mossberg 930? looks like they dont make one specifically for any mossberg. These are streamlight accesories.

Re: Mounting A Light On A 500 Tactical Cruiser/Persuader
I know it fits a 590,
the 590, set up is the same as the 870. I do not own a 930 yet so I cannot say for sure
However if the tube end is the same as the 590, you should be good to go.
WHen I get home ill post examples on a 590

why not just go with a railed foreend, or a small bit or rail attached to the forend.

Re: Mounting A Light On A 500 Tactical Cruiser/Persuader
The video doesn't work anymore.
I'm trying to find an option for mounting either my Surefire or Pelican light up front. I'm not sure I like the bracket that goes under the mag cap because it negates the detent ball. I am not spending more than $25 or so b/c that is just ridiculous (on the mount I mean. Obviously the lights were much more than that). Surefire and the others that are selling their stuff for over $100 are entirely too proud of their stuff (Yes, I know that those of you that have the Surefire mount love it. Those that buy a Land Rover love it, and although it may be more comfortable than my Jeep, I still wouldn't trade). I can't use one of the CDM mounts b/c there is no room on the 500 Cruiser to put it. I was thinking about drilling the forend, putting threaded steel inserts in the forend and then mounting a small rail on it, which would accept a light mount. Right now, I am thinking that might be the best option, unless anyone has any other suggestions.
By the way, I would like to avoid either cutting or replacing the forend.

Re: Mounting A Light On A 500 Tactical Cruiser/Persuader
for $50, not even considerable. I am still leaning towards drilling 2 holes in my forend, putting nutserts in and buying a 2 inch rail for it.

available at MidwayUSA
Short of a Surefire Weapon Light forend, problem solved?

Perhaps not for you...the suggestion was for the OP. Good luck with your fabrication.

Oh, sorry. I find that sometimes when I get an email stating that a new post has been made to a thread that I subscribed to, I forget which thread it was which makes my response irrelevent to the particular conversation. I should probably go back and at least glance over the thread before I reply to a post.
