so ya im the new guy with the question thanks in advance for your help. i saw something once in a magazine that i foolishly didnt save it was an off set adapter it screwed on to a flashlight body and moved either a light head or laser head over the center of the bore. ive been looking for about a week here and on the web and the surefire website and cant seem to find it. thanks for the help and sorry about the ambiguity.

There are lots of things that can do that.  Larue makes replacement Surefire mounts - some are offset over the bore.

Yankee Hill makes an offset rail section (cheaper, a little more versatile)

There are a lot more options for mounting 1" flashlights.  VTAC, Elzetta, Larue, Daniel Defense....

SureFire Classic WeaponLight model 676 features their A15 offset adapter and their M26 mount which clamps to the front strut of the AR15/M4 front sight casting.
It features a remote tape pressure switch with 5" long cable.
The A15 was originally designed to centre a laser sight module over the barrel as close to it as possible but in the case of the 676 a 6V incandescent lamp module (L36) is used.

The surefire offset is cool, but I imagine there's a rather large barrel shadow.

If you've got a standard flashlight and just want it centered on the bore, the Elzetta mount is probably one of the best.  Easy to install, good price and no mods needed.
