Surefire Scout Light with Rare KM2 IR/White Light head, UKSF, L119A1, GWOT
SureFire Scout Light with KM2 IR/White Light Head, UKSF L119A1 GWOT
So you want a Scout Light setup that matches what British Special Forces ran during the Global War on Terror. This is it. A genuine SureFire Scout Light body paired with the rare KM2 dual-spectrum IR and white light head. 350 lumens white. 120mW infrared. The same configuration used on UKSF L119A1 carbines during GWOT operations.
This isn’t a current production light you can walk into a store and buy today. First, the KM2 head specifically is the rare piece here — it provides both visible white light and NVG-compatible infrared illumination by simply rotating the bezel. Next, this head was used on L119A1 SFW (Special Forces Weapon) carbines carried by British SAS, SBS, and SRR operators during the GWOT era. Finally, finding a correct, complete Scout body with an actual KM2 head together is genuinely uncommon on the collector market.
What’s actually included in this listing?
A complete Scout Light body with the KM2 head installed. So you get the M600-pattern Scout Light body and the KM2 dual-spectrum bezel head as one working unit. Also, the KM2 head runs on two CR123A batteries housed in the body. Therefore, this is a functional, complete light, not just a head or a body separately.
How does the IR and white light switching work?
Twist the bezel, no filter required. So rotating the bezel selects your spectrum — white light, infrared, or off. Also, the current KM2-C production version adds a detent click at each position for positive selection under stress. Therefore, you can switch from white light to IR quickly without fumbling for a separate filter or attachment.
Why is the KM2 head specifically connected to UKSF and the L119A1?
Operational history. So the L119A1 SFW was the primary carbine of British special operations forces during the GWOT era, issued to SAS, SBS, and SRR. Also, UKSF units running NVG operations required dual-spectrum lights that provided both visible and IR illumination in one compact unit. Therefore, the SureFire Scout with KM2 head became a standard configuration on issued and personally acquired L119A1 carbines during that operational period.
Will this Surefire Scout Light with Rare KM2 IR/White Light head, UKSF, L119A1, GWOT mount to any rifle?
Yes, on any standard Picatinny/1913 or M-LOK compatible rail with the right mount. So the Scout Light uses SureFire’s standard Scout mount interface, compatible with a wide range of aftermarket mounts including those from Arisaka Defense. Also, it mounts correctly to any rifle with a 1913 Picatinny rail section, including the L119A1’s Vltor and LMT rail systems. Therefore, this light isn’t limited to British carbine builds — it works on any rail-equipped rifle.
