hey guys, i need a light mount for the front of my mossy 500. ive read through some of the threads and been searching on the internet and found this. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://brigadearmory.com/catalog/images/shotgun%2520light%2520mount.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.brigadearmory.com/catalog/index.php%3FcPath%3D80&h=288&w=288&sz=50&tbnid=YkmSmjTxRUiAaM:&tbnh=115&tbnw=115&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dshotgun%2Blight%2Bmount&usg=__iV_nmO1TmkwkwX-ZBTP6oyaoyVk=&ei=wL70SpvPOZK2MPe23OgF&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=4&ct=image&ved=0CBMQ9QEwAw whats your take on this one? i like how it keeps the light close to the barrel. i thought i found it on ebay but i cant find it again... |

Try this with either a TLR-1 type light, or a low profile 1" scope ring with Surefire in it:
magazine tube rail mount |

I prefer this mount
YMMV - my Dad & I both run these mounts with success, but another member here somehow broke his. |

Quoted: i did see the thread where the member broke his. i can see how it would get caught on something and break.Quoted: I prefer this mount YMMV - my Dad & I both run these mounts with success, but another member here somehow broke his.

I have seen those things before, they seem to be pretty rugged looking...
One way I originally mounted a flashlight on my Benelli M4, was like this: 
http://www.tacticalshotgunner.com/insight-technologies-shotgun-adapter-p-105.html with a 1 inch flashlight ring. The ITI 1 inch tube mount was very strong, but it didn't let me field strip my Benelli shotgun so I scrapped the idea. It isn't a 1913 picatinny rail though, but the 1 inch scope ring I had did work on it. ETA Threads are re-enforced with Heli-coils, so you can really crank it down, and the inside of the clamp has 2 thin rubberized pads to prevent it from slipping around under recoil. |

From brownells, 10 bucks for a set of low 1 inch rings  (this is the set I got)
http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/sid=51725/pid=26207/sku/Low_1__Rings They fit great on the ITI mag tube clamp. But I haven't tried the double mount in the OP, so I can't say if the setup I used was any better or not

they had 3 mounts. one was a utg mount that clamped to the barrel, one was a caa replacement front grip that you could then purchase another caa light mount, and the last was a caa mount that clamped to the mag tube. i bought the new front grip and adjustable light mount and when i got it home and started putting it together i realized that the light mount would get in the way of your hand and you would really have to back your hand rearward on the grip. it was uncomfortable and ill be taking it back. spendy too at 120$ for the pair.. |
I know that there are some here that feel a heat shield is not needed on a HD shotgun but, I realized that I could mount a short piece of rail with the same screws that mount the heatshield. I then can use any flashlight mount made to fit the rail. I just use a 1" scope ring t mount mine.
