inexpensive shotgun light mount....
I just purchased a Browning BPS with full-length factory magazine tube. I would like to find an inexpensive light mount to go underneath (or to the side) that will fit an LED "mini mag" MagLite.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

A suggestion, I would try to find a mount that attaches to the magazine tube and has a rail on it. Then get a one inch Weaver Ring and use a SureFire Led Nitrolon flashlight.

They take the 123 Lithium batteries that hold 80% of their power for 10 years.

Another good choice, and I know it is a little more money, is the Streamlight TLR-2. It has a good light and a good lazer.

The lazer can be sighted in.
I also know the Nitrolon flashlight will take repeated rounds from a shotgun as I have one "duck" taped under and between the barrels of a 20ga double barreled shotgun that I have shot a bunch with slugs and buckshot.

I would position the flashlight so that I could operate it with the thumb of the hand that will operate the pump fore end.

That reminds me of my Rat safari when I was a teenager. There where two dumps close to where I lived, a friend was a taxidermist and a couple bikers brought in a bunch of rats that they had killed and wanted to have them tanned to make a vest out of. Long sorry short that became the start of my rat safari, I would like NE said tape a flashlight to the bottom of my shotgun barrel, walk around in the dark till you would hear the rats running in the garbage then light em up literally, If I recall 63 rats was our record, the dump shooting became popular and eventually someone got shot and a night watchman was had to be hired

We killed a lots of rats at the dumps when I was a kid. Got kind of spooky when the bears started coming in after dark.

Rat shooting as fun then they closed the dumps and made the land fills no more rat shooting.

Inexpensive?

Tac-Star clamp $18

Ridiculously inexpensive?
