This includes flashlights from popular manufacturers such as InForce®, Streamlight®, Pelican®, Laser Devices®, SureFire®, and of course, Elzetta Flashlights. (Sizing Adapters are not required when using an Elzetta Flashlight or other 1-inch Light.)

A: An M4-style front sight base (FSB) mounted sling swivel, such as found on Colt 6920 carbine, must be removed to attach an Elzetta ZFH1500 Tactical Flashlight Mount. For those wanting a side-mounted FSB sling swivel with the Elzetta ZFH1500, the ZSS1500 QD Side Sling Kit provides a quick-detach heavy duty sling swivel that may be attached to either side of the Elzetta ZFH1500.

A: The ZFH1500 with hardware weighs only 2.8 oz (79 g).
Q: Is there a way to mount an additional accessory to the ZFH1500 Tactical Flashlight Mount?
A: Yes. While no rails are required to attach the Elzetta ZFH1500 to the weapon, with the Elzetta ZPR1500 kit, other rail-mounted accessories (such as sub-compact lasers) may be attached to the side of the Flashlight Mount. (Elzetta ZPR1500 sold separately.)
Q: Will attaching a sling on the front sling swivel interfere with the use of the ZFH1500 Tactical Flashlight Mount?
A: No, Elzetta designed the ZFH1500 to work in various configurations. When the flashlight is mounted rearward (with the tailcap exposed), the sling swivel (with or without a sling attached) will activate the push-button switch of the flashlight. When the flashlight is mounted with the tailcap recessed into the ZFH1500 body, the push-button switch is protected from the sling swivel while the tailcap of the flashlight is still accessible through the skeleton hole in the ZFH1500 body.

Q: Will the Elzetta ZFH1500 fit a Ruger AR556?
