    .75" rings?

    Hi,

    Yes, I've searched, and searched, and searched...

    Long story short, I'm trying to mount a AA-powered flashlight on a rail.

    So, I'm looking for a ring with an inside diameter of .75" or so.

    I wouldn't mind going as large as .83" (intended for SureFire E1), but I don't want to use a 1" ring with a thick spacer.
    My current AA-powered Fenix L2T is actually only .65" at it's narrowest point, and presumably most AA flashlights are going to be about the same .75" or so.

    I like the idea of being able to remove the flashlight relatively easily, but it doesn't need to be "quick disconnect."
    I don't really need (or want) an "offset" mount: just a simple scope ring would be perfect. I don't want to pay a fortune for this, either.

    I'm looking for more options than what I've found already:


    1. Larue:

    Problem: I don't need the quick disconnect, it's taller than I would want, and I don't want to pay anything like $115...


    2. Gear Sector:

    Problem: I don't really need the offset, and it's still too expensive.


    3. VeriForce:

    http://www.veriforcetactical.com/tac...cessories/195/

    Problem: I don't trust this. It looks cheap (not inexpensive: just cheap). Taking it off and putting it on would be a PITA.


    4. Generic:

    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=221373181

    Problem: I don't know who makes this... It looks like a Leupold PRW, but Leupold doesn't make a .75" PRW. I have a question in to the seller...

    Otherwise, this seems about perfect.


    5. VLTOR:

    http://www.vltorstore.com/products/Scout-Mount.html

    It's .83" and not .75", but otherwise this looks about ideal: it costs less than my flashlight and barely more than the generic ring on GunBroker, the orientation is correct for me, it's low-profile, and it looks like the wing nut would make attachment/detachment easy.

    Other ideas?

    Brownells Delrin Ring Reducers. Available in 1" to 7/8" and 1" to 3/4":

    My other idea was the rings off of a cheap 3/4" rimfire scope, but they seem to be for rimfire dovetail vice weaver/pic rail dovetail.

    The closest WalMart is 90 minutes away, driving fast, one-way...

    In any case, these things seem to be as rare as hen's teeth... Every ring manufacturer makes rings in all conceivable heights, but hardly anybody makes anything smaller than 1".

    Right, but I don't want the bulk of 1" rings reduced to a .75" diameter, and for $20 the reducers cost as much as the .75" ring on GunBroker.
