How about that? My wife just spent the entire last week down there at Lowes. She works for UNC executive development, and Lowes is a huge client.

UNC? North Carolina?

ETA: I'm an idiot and didn't read the last page. I need to come down and hang out with you NC guys. It's 5 hours. I promised medic Id make it happen this summer. Let's do this guys!

Got the body and Malkoff head and all looks great except when I went to mount to my CMR rail - using Centurion's mount the screws they provide are bottoming out on the light body before it gets tight. Not a big deal, I'll grab some shorter screws during the week. I think it'll be a great setup once I get it right, super lightweight and tight to the rail. Useless without pics right?

In case anyone was wondering how much smaller the Arisaka/Malkoff setup it compared to a Surefire Mini Scout....

I've seen this before. Did Centurion send the wrong screws? Their polymer scout mount should have two 1/4" screws and two 3/8" screws. There have been complaints about receiving four 3/8" screws instead of the shorter ones.

Our light bodies actually have deeper threading than the OEM surefire body, so this issue would be even worse with an M300B.

OEM body mounting holes are ~0.24" deep. Arisaka body is ~0.255" deep.

I actually have the same issue right now with a Centurion Mount. I'll have to double check the screws.

I suppose the other possibility is accidentally using the 1/4" screws to mount to the cmr and the 3/8" for the body. May want to double check that you didn't mix them up.

I'll have to check, I bought an accessory pack (rail covers, mount, etc) and all screws are the same length, I'll have to check that I didn't use any shorter screws to mount the rail covers.

I have a one of the polymer scout mounts here so I can confirm with absolute certainty that it should have two 1/4" screws for the scout body.
