Duct tape?
j/k Maybe this if you dont mid drilling 2 holes. You can use the small one to it covers up easy. 
Or get a barrel clamp on mount for the light |

Elzetta?

That Elzetta looks to be about exactly what I'm looking for, especially because I do not have a front sling mount on the rifle now. The sling swivel is a separate product apparently?
Thanks! |

ummmm....
duct tape? There may be some barrel mount solutions out there....does the free float handguard have any way of attaching something to it, like a small piece of piccatinny rail, or screws for a flash light mount? |

The standard "permanent" sling loop on a front sight base can be used to activate the light if you want, the one shown on the blue gun was just a mock-up. |

As long as there is no sling through that loop yes/no? |

Only thing I could find with a quick google search - it's a cheap chinese knock off, but this could also work for you depending on whether you wanted to use a pressure pad
Surefire barrel mount |

Have you checked out IWC's offerings?
But what rail do you have, and what light do you plan on mounting? |

There is no rail, nor have I selected a specific light yet. 
Also, I do not know who "IWC" is? |

Impact weapon components. They make a ton of direct attach mounts for various tube and non-railed handguards. Not sure there's much that can be done with that tube though. The Elzetta might be one of the better choices with that setup. |

Ok,
The best option IMO 
Bayonet Lug Mount I run these on several carbines...and haven't seen any difference in accuracy of the weapon... Or run the blam2 if you don't want sling loops... Bret P.s. After that is on the weapon, you have a 1913 rail and can mount dedicated weapons lights...I'm not a fan of the flash lights and a holder... I run surefire x300 and x400, streamlight tlr series as well...latest being the hp... |

All my weapon light are dedicated...so all are rail mounted... I have about 15 or so, maybe 5 surefire x400's and like 8 streamlights and a few insight lights... They all mount on that rail in a couple of seconds... Just my 2 cents... Bret |

Streamlight Handguard Rail
Can also be used with the Streamlight Rail Mount for Streamlight TL-2 and TL-3 light. 
Used to be available all together as the Thunder Ranch Rifle Illumination Kit, but it seems that's been discontinued. |

I really like the surfire X300 I also like the 12 O'clock position. If you don't want to change rails I would go with something like this.

I do have a X300U at 12 O'clock with this Daniel Defense rail which is a much better option in my opinion. 
You would just have to be careful…. |

I figured I put up a photo...
Not my normal...I can't even find my old camera...So it's just cell phone pics... this is my setup... 
It's a CDP BLAM mount with the TLR-1S HP light and remote tape switch is in a magpul illumination kit on the other side... As you can see I tried it on the side and didn't like it...Still have the cantilever rail there... Works GREAT! and has nice location for two point sling. Sorry about the rug in the background...
