A modular dovetail rail clamping assembly includes a body having a fixed clamp component. A movable clamp component opposes the fixed clamp. A threaded clamping fastener extends through the movable clamp component and into the body to draw the movable clamp component into engagement with the body. A removable, reversible crossbar extends transversely across the body between the fixed clamp component and the movable clamp component in a spline channel. The crossbar has both a universal rail side and a MIL-STD 1913 rail side.

A modular dovetail rail clamping assembly includes a polymer body and a metal fixed clamp component. A threaded fastener extends through the body and into the fixed clamp component to draw the fixed clamp component into engagement with the body. The fixed clamp component and the body have mating longitudinal ridge and groove structures which rigidly fix alignment of the fixed clamp component relative to the body when assembled. A metal movable clamp component opposes the fixed clamp. A threaded clamping fastener extends through the movable clamp component and the body, and is received into the fixed clamp component to draw the movable clamp component into engagement with the body. A removable, reversible crossbar extends transversely across the body between the fixed clamp component and the movable clamp component.

A novel flashlight assembly that includes an interface integrated into the housing thereof to facilitate mounting of the flashlight to the interface positioned ahead of the trigger on a modern firearm. Generally, the outer body of the flashlight includes a head mounted to a flashlight body at one end and at least one paddle switch extending outwardly at the other end of the body. Preferably the paddle switch extends at least partially beyond a trigger guard on the firearm when the flashlight is mounted to the accessory interface on the firearm. Further, the flashlight includes protrusions extending from the side of the body for interfacing the flashlight with the accessory interface on the firearm.

A novel flashlight assembly that includes an interface integrated into the housing thereof to facilitate mounting of the flashlight to the dovetail rail on a modern combat weapon. The outer body of the flashlight includes a head mounted to a flashlight body at one end and a tapered tail extending outwardly at the other end of the body. Further, the flashlight includes a clamping interface that is a seamless and integrated feature of the outer housing of the flashlight itself for interfacing the flashlight with a firearm. The operational modes of the flashlight are controlled by a single push button and a selector switch. To facilitate a highly compact design the flashlight employs two circuitry arrangements positioned remote from one another and in communication with one another via a single conductive trace to operate at a first signal frequency or a second signal frequency.
