Zero-ing the SureFire Forend

dwestfall · November 23, 1999, 02:54 AM

Is there any way to reliably zero the light on a Surefire forend? Each time I unscrew the light to change batteries, etc the light comes back on in a different place - right, left, but never centered of course. I assume this is due to the shock-dampening rubber sleeve which I see bunching up slightly.

It would be helpful to have the light point in the same direction as the barrel. It's really distracting otherwise - I tend to expect that the pellets will go where the light is.

My light has / still does point low-right. You can adjust the light by removing the bulb end, rotating the reflector until the light is where you want it & putting the head back on.
