mount for 20mm flashlight

So I just picked up Surefire L1 cree flashlight, at a great price, and was hoping to mount it to my rifle. After ordering a mount that I thought would fit, turns out it doesn't

Does anyone know a good rail mount that fits 20mm wide flashlights? I've looked all over ehobby asia, wgc, redwolf, with no luck. And google search tends to just show mounts that attach to 20mm rails.

The flashlight in question is this one



any help is much appreciated

So the flashlight body is too thin?

If so, try mounting it farther up the body or use electrical or hockey tape to build up the circumfrence.

If it's not too small for the mount, then I feel like a moron.

I forget who makes it, but I have seen a real steel flash light mount that comes with a spacer inside to mount narrower body lights. Wasnt too expensive either(under 30$ if i remember correctly)

They do make 20mm flashlight mounts, but you have to look around: http://www.ebairsoft.com/flashlight-...tem-p-881.html one (ugly) example.

You have to be careful about which Vltor flashlight mount you get because they make them in different sizes depending on which Surefire flashlight you have.
This might help http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=2...T_WEAPON_MOUNT

Won't it mount on the thicker part near the bulb? I had to do that with a mini mag lite.

Thanks trooper, I might end up ordering from that site. The mount i got was the huang clone, but might go with the real deal one next time.
