Recommendations for a rifle light mount

I’m curious what everyone’s favorite flashlight mount is. I’ve bought up a collection over the years, including some Amazon Chinesium specials, and so far the ones from Arisaka are clearly the best. But I sure would love to find a cheaper high-quality option. Any good ideas for a normal Scout footprint mount are appreciated.

As a way of paying it forward to start, if anyone has ever needed a way to put a little section of M1913 rail on a sling stud equipped rifle, just buy this. It’s exactly what you think it is and it works well.

I mostly use Streamlight. I do have an older Surefire that is also gtg.

Funny you should say that. I’m trying to mount a new Streamlight on an Aero enhanced M-LOK handguard that’s a little too chubby for the included Streamlight mount. The mount has too much angle to screw into the side M-LOK slot. So I’m looking at mounts that are inline, straight to the side, or maybe a shallower angle. I know for sure these all exist, but before I drop 50 bucks at Arisaka again for a postage stamp sized piece of aluminum, I thought I’d ask for everyone’s favorites.

Anyone use the Magpul mounts, either left or right?

That thing looks super chunky and awkward. Does it have ring mounts?

One of the magpul 11 o’clock mounts with a maglight.

Lookingforward to others thoughts and setups.

I like to keep my lights removable.
