Manufactured from 4140 billet steel with a black manganeese phosphate non-reflective matte black military finish, the combat tested SLiC has a Colt-type 1¼-inch sling swivel on the left side and a 1½-inch long black Type III hard-coat anodized 6061 T6 billet aluminum alloy rail for attaching the flashlight on the right side. The light is positioned at one o’clock, the location preferred by most experienced operators to maximize the tactical advantage during dynamic room entries. This unit is attached to the AR15/M16s “A-frame” front sight assembly, and mounted high in this manner completely eliminates “rifle roll.” Robust and rigid, the SLiC is held in place by counter pressure socket head cap screws.
