Light mount for AK

At one time I could have sworn I saw a pic on here of someone who had rigged a light mount on their AK that mounted between the two pieces of the standard handguard. Am I dreaming? What methods are there to mounting a light without rails such as the UltiMak and the like?

I know what you're talking about but couldn't find it. But, I had some IMs with the guy. He used one of those Magpul rail kits for their MOE system. The back side of the screw mounts sit behind the handguards and the threaded portion protrudes between the handguards. Simple concept, just seems it would be a pain whenever you wannt take the handguards off.

Ok, makes sense now thank you!

Also, has anyone bought one of the rail systems sold in the above link?

I was asked to try one out and I really like it. It's nicely made and I'd get more if I needed rails on other AK's.
