I have a Bushy XM15 E2S flattop with removable carry handle and a 16" barrel.  The gun is completely factory .  This, in addition to my XD-9 SC, is my home defense weapon.  I have an XML light mounted to my XD and I am looking for an inexpensive way to mount a light to my AR.  Keep in mind, this has the factory foregrip and I have made no changes to OE design.  What do I need?  I would prefer to use a Surefire G2 as they are inexpensive.  I am open to to all  options.  I also do not want to tape/tie/rope anything to it.  Would like to use decent looking mounts that are sturdy.  Thanks!

I am going the same route with a G2.  I'm using a 1 inch scope ring, G2, and a Pentagon tape switch cap.  It will mounted on the right side rail and on my other rifle: a small light rail bolted to the under side holes of the handguard 1 inch scope ring, G2 w/pentagon tape switch attached to the left side for my thumb.  If you are really worried about the bezel you can upgrade with a SF one.  If wanna get cheaper and still sturdy try the Walmart or Target for a Brinkman Max with the same combo above.

So how do I mount it to the handgrip I have now?  Im not familiar with anything that will allow you to attach a scope ring to a stock handgrip.

I hope I am understanding you when you say foregrip, meaning (handguard)?

Hear is a link to check out for the rail.

And if you have a bayonet lug there is a mount that attaches on to it for a light.

Thanks for the correction there.  I did go back and edit foregrip to say handguard.  My bad.  Thanks for the links.  You da man.

After you get your rail, I would suggest the SF G2 with Daniel Defense 1" offset mount and SF Z32 shock resistant head unit.

I have the same set up except I'm also using a SF Z49 tail clicker switch upgrade.

It's an excellent quality light for the money.

I got it from Grant of G&R Tactical (industry parter of AR15.com) and he calls these affordable type of weapon lights "Working Man's Weapon Lights".

Good luck.
