SureFireOps Core Helmet Rail Mount for The HL1 Helmet Light

Size the old helmet mount is now basically obsolete. This mount is a great way to be able to use the HL1 with your high cut helmet rails.

I bought this adapter clip to mount my Streamlight helmet light on the rail of my ballistic helmet.It is sure enough tight fitting to the rails so I coated the rails with a film of gun lube grease as far back as I thought I would push it back, using a cotton swab. I also coated the little shoe on the clip too. Slid right on so easy and it will come off as easy too.This is a quality product that is made tough and will last, a very good compliment to the light and should be included with every helmet flashlight of this type Streamlight sells.All said, I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend it to everyone who has this helmet flashlight.Just put a dab of grease on the upper and lower helmet rails as well as the clip’s shoe and it is an easy install.Pros: solidly made, works well.Cons: high price, should be included free with every helmet flashlight of this model.

wiggles a little in ops core rails but the light has stayed put in multiple mil sim games and regular use

The mount was very tight sliding into the grid on my helmet, may be my helmet. Light snapped right into place.

It's such a tight fit that I had to build a wooden tool (just a simple rectangle the width of the rail with a notch cut out to accommodate the clip) and use a rubber hammer to get it onto the rail (or move it from spot to spot) without breaking it. Other than that it's fantastic. I just wish it came with the light rather than an extra purchase. And that it came in black, since my light is black and it looks a bit odd over a tan mount. Having said that, I'm glad I bought it.

Great mounting base for ARC rails. If using any brand other than OPS Core rails, you may need to throw some tape on it to minimize wiggling.

OK the paint-ballers are watching their pennies but this is a case where that might bite you. There are inexpensive helmet rail mounts for the Surefire HL1 light; but what if it breaks? Surefire builds the best and when you come back in from the field you want to see that your mount did not fall or tear off your helmet. Chances are your light went with it. I don't know what you paid for your HL1 but Surefire sells them for $190.00. Here is what Surefire says:1. Lightweight, durable polymer construction; watertight for all-weather use2. Backed by SureFire’s No-Hassle Guarantee

rattles bad enough I had to add shims to it, and I cannot get the light back off the mount its extremely stuck.
