Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the SureFire X300 Ultra and Turbo models?

The primary difference lies in their beam characteristics. The X300 Ultra offers 1000 lumens and 11,300 Candela for a wider beam, while the X300 Turbo provides 650 lumens but a much higher 66,000 Candela for a more focused beam that reaches further.

How do I correctly mount the SureFire X300A weapon light?

For the X300A, ensure the correct 'U' or 'P' lever latch is installed for your firearm's rail. For the most secure attachment, use the Rail Lock System by installing the lock actuator wedge and screw, then torquing the rail guide screws to 4 inch-pounds.

What are the torque specifications for mounting the SureFire X300B?

When mounting the X300B, tighten the T-slot thumb screw until snug, then add a quarter turn. The recommended torque is 8 inch-pounds. Avoid excessive force to prevent breaking the rail adjustment bolt.

What tools are needed to switch the mounting latches on a SureFire X300A?

To switch the lever latches on the SureFire X300A, you will need a 5/64th inch hex wrench. It's also recommended to use Loctite on the rail guide screws if you plan on switching latches frequently.
