Just put the scope on the flattop of the receiver, and mount the flashlight on the front sight base.
You already seem to be a victim of the "gotta have it" or "see it, want it" mentality that you're questioning... "
I assumed the rail type front end was the best way to mount a light, AND I thought it would give me options down the road. As much as these are serious social rifles....I do intend to enjoy it. I could see adding a vertical grip, for example. What I DON"T want are accesories that will make my rifle LESS dependable, LESS efficient, just because some YouTube Commando has them.....I'm not refering to anyone I've met on here, but sheesh, there are some real "wannabes" on the internet and hanging around the tactical counter at the gun stores....
