My mount finally came in. I bought a Streamlight Super Tac X flashlight from Academy Sports for $80 (could've got it cheaper online) and I love the look of a huge reflector on a rifle. So for the past month I've been shopping for the perfect light mount. I wanted a mount that was straight off the side, not too clunky, metal, and cheap! I found this Fenix ALG-01 mount for $12 shipped online. Its specs called for a larger diameter flashlight (the Super Tac X is 0.90" or 2.3cm) but with the included spacer, I just synched it down a couple turns tighter. I might have to wrap it once with electrical tape so I'm not stressing the joint too much. So far I like it. It fits my criteria and I've got minimal barrel shadow with this setup. I am a lefty so my support (right) hand has access to the on/off switch on the back of the flashlight.

 

Put two of those on there and you'll have headlights.

For my elcheapo 870 build, I had to wrap a light that I found on a jet to keep it firm in a scope ring, so that is an adrianspeeder approved method.

Looks great man!

 

I told my GF I was going to buy three more and have quads

I wonder if I could fit a mini H1 projector retrofit in it
