Marlin Model 60 Flashlight Holder

This is a mount for holding a flashlight near the muzzle of a Marlin Model 60 rifle. The Model 60 has been made for decades and sports a classic, non-threatening profile in the very-approachable 22LR chambering. Unfortunately for those owners who have needs the Marlin could be used for in low-light situations, there is no factory or existing aftermarket solution for mounting a light to make safe usage possible in those scenarios.

Installation requires that the front sight be temporarily removed (this is a one-screw job, very quick and easy) so the unit can be slid over the muzzle and magazine tube. The mount is then secured using a screw and nut. The holes are 3.15mm, which was about right for some of the smaller metric screws I had lying around. I also used some small washers, one on each side, to distribute the force on the surface. Installation of the flashlight is the same - insert the light, fasten with screw, nut, and washers.
