Surefire flashlight recommendation

Hey guys, Im thinking about getting a Surefire flashlight for my AEG (pic below).
Im having a hard time deciding which flashlight to get and I narrowed it down to these choices:

1. Surefire 6P LED
2. Surefire C2 Centurion
3. Surefire M2

The mount I will probably be using is the VLTOR Scount Light Mount which looks like this:



Which flashlight above do you think will look best for my AEG? Im planning to mount the light on the distal end of the rail where the ladder covers are.

I would look like into Fenix Tactical Flashlights. They are a lot cheaper and work just as well if not better with lots of features.

I use the 6Pled, and it works great, mount it to your AEG for games, and then you can take it off and use as a normal flashlight for non-game situations. Mine has taken bb hits to the lense no problem. stills works great. well worth the money.

My AEG is basically black and FDE as shown above. Do you think a black flashlight (6P) would match better? Or a greyish color (C2, M2) ?

G2 Nitrolon LED for the win; I use one as my service flashlight in the field, and another for a weapon mounted light.



IMHO, when it comes to Surefire's LED is the only way to go as the bulbs for their incandescent lights burn out too quickly.

I second the E2D i just picked that up. But on the cheaper side you cant go wrong with the G2 LED which i use as my back up. However i also recommend the Streamlight Strion with a C4 LED 3 brightness modes plus a strobe and its rechargeable.

I used both G2 Nitrolon and 6PLED. I use the 6P LED Defender on my AEG ans also used it for work. Excellent flashlight. LED definatly beat allogen for battery life.
The E2D is a good light, but not for mounting on a weapon. The bezel make it hard to operate it mounted. And the small body size might cause problem with some mounts. You'll definatly need a special light mount, wich is more expansive than the standards one that ca ben bought for cheap (replica).

The 6P LED is not too expensive and compatible with a lot of accessories.

Fenix are a good alternative, but I have no experience with them yet.

You've got an MRE now? I didn't notice any update pics...

But, this is basically one of those posts for the free subscribing to this thread thing.

Your front end? Wait.... no. Never mind. Rail covers threw me for a loop there, definitely looked like that was part of your RAS.
