Bayonet Lug Flashlight Mount

My local shooting club holds some of its matches at night.  As such I have had the need to easily add a light to a rifle.  This flashlight mount is made from a Millet scope ring.  With a slight modification, the scope ring will easily mount to a bayonet lug, like those found on AR15 rifles, or 590 shotguns.  This technique mounts the flashlight in the 6 oclock position, just below the barrel, and it has worked well for me in practice.

These plans are free for non-commercial use and are offered with no warranty or other claims expressed or implied.  Ken Reed, 10/12/2006.

Finished mount.  Note the flashlight is activated with the forefinger by pushing on the tail cap.

The modified base.  This one was done on a milling machine, but the metal removal can easily be cut with
hand tools as well.  Paint everything black, bake on the paint and install.
