Gear Sector has followed up on the successful launch of light and sling mounts with a new Offset Flashlight Mount for the Surefire Scout light. The Surefire Scout light has found its way onto special military teams who have the latitude to pick and choose their equipment, but what has been lacking up to this point is a good offset mount. Machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum with a military spec ( MIL-A-8625F ) type III, class II hard coat anodizing, this unit is fully made in the USA and is 100% Berry compliant.

Starting with your Surefire Scout light, turn it to the side, and check for two screws. Remove both screws.
After removing both screws, the base will pull off the light.
Pull the Gear Sector Offset Light Mount out of the packaging. You should find two screws, and two allen head wrenches along with a thread locker. You should now have a layout similar to the image below (allen wrenches and thread locker not shown).
Use a drop of thread locker on the threads, then install and tighten the screws locking the Gear Sector base into the Surefire Scout light body.
With the mount in place, you will find you can mount the light in multiple configurations, including the typical side rail mount, as well as the top rail.
The Gear Sector Offset Light Mount places the Surefire Scout light into an easily used location, and avoids clogging and hogging the rail space with mounting the light directly to the side rail . You can see from the attached images that I run my Surefire Scout light with the push button tailcap. I've been in too many places where someone has accidentally hit a tape switch at the wrong time. However, there is no problem using a pressure pad wired to the light with this mount.
Gear Sector states :
The [ Patent Pending ] Gear Sector™ offset flashlight mount was designed to provide a low profile, ergonomic solution for attaching a weapon light to a picatinny rail. We designed the mount to fit perfectly flush with the Tango Down rail panels for an uninterrupted rail space. This model fits the Surefire Scout Light® series lights which include the M300A, M600B and M600C weapon lights.
I've used multiple rail covers, to include KAC, Magpul XTM, and Tango Down rail covers, and the Gear Sector mounts all run flush (or very close) to the rail covers. This provides an uninterrupted surface. While this may not be something that becomes important for everyone, it does show the attention to detail that Gear Sector puts into the items they develop.
The Gear Sector Offset Flashlight Mount is high quality, and mounts solid. It places the Surefire Scout light in a good location. If you or your team mates use a Surefire Scout light, you owe it to yourself to check out this upgrade.
