Fenix ALG-18 Barrel Mount

Fenix ALG-18 Barrel Mount

The Fenix ALG-18 Barrel Mount is designed to securely attach a flashlight to a rifle barrel, particularly when the rifle lacks rail attachment points. This mount is ideal for tactical and outdoor scenarios where illumination is needed without the need for additional equipment or modifications.

Key Features

1. Tool-Free Assembly and Disassembly:
   • Easy Installation: The ALG-18 Barrel Mount is designed for simple, tool-free assembly. You can attach or remove the mount quickly and efficiently without needing any specialized tools, making it highly convenient for field use or rapid adjustments.
2. Material and Finish:
   • A6061-T6 Aluminum: Constructed from A6061-T6 aluminum, this mount offers a combination of high strength and lightweight properties. The aluminum construction ensures durability and resistance to impact and stress, which is crucial for maintaining performance under harsh conditions.
   • Type HAIII Hard-Anodized Finish: The mount features a premium HAIII hard-anodized finish, providing an anti-abrasive surface that resists scratches and wear. This finish also offers increased corrosion resistance, enhancing the longevity and reliability of the mount.
3. Compatibility:
   • Barrel Diameter: The mount fits barrels with diameters ranging from 18mm to 23mm. This range allows it to accommodate a variety of rifle barrels, making it versatile for different firearms.
   • Flashlight Diameter: It is compatible with Fenix flashlights that have a body diameter between 23.5mm and 28mm. Additionally, the flashlight's head should be less than 70mm in diameter to ensure a secure fit within the mount.
4. Operational Notes:
   • Heat Management: When using the mount on a barrel that experiences high volumes of fire, it is important to remove the rubber cushions before use. This precaution prevents the rubber from melting due to the intense heat generated by the barrel during rapid shooting, which could otherwise compromise the mount's integrity.

Usage and Applications

The Fenix ALG-18 Barrel Mount is particularly useful for mounting flashlights on rifles used in tactical, hunting, or outdoor activities where a flashlight is needed but the rifle does not have rail systems. Its robust construction and easy-to-use design make it a practical accessory for enhancing firearm functionality in various shooting environments.
