TDI rail mounted at 10:00 along the handguard.  I can posiiton the light all the way forward or all the way to the rear (for use with a magwell grip).

I get my rails from BrightFlashlights in the Industry forum, as I do the quick detach TDI light mount.

I then dremel the ridges of the handguard flat along where the raild will lie.  Mark and drill the holes then install the rail.

I prefer to use the Cav-Arms fat 'M4 style' handguards as it keeps the rail parallel to the bore (standard handguards taper).

Safariland makes a decent four rail mount that will allow one item per rail. Beleve it's called the RK-M4-2. Paid $29 at G&G tactical. It screws on and is rock soild. Pretty decent mount for the standard handguards. The link is frrom another vendor.
