Here are some pics of the MAKO BSR-1 Barrel Rail Mount. I purchased it at SKD for $24.85 shipped (via USPS Priority Mail and took 2 days)
The mount is lightweight anodized aluminum (not hardcoated) and will fit a minimum barrel O.D. of .550".
Option 1
Clamping mount close to GB w/Streamlight TLR-3 at 6 o'clock. Can operate weapon light with index finger.
Option 2
Clamping mount Close to GB w/Streamlight TLR-3 at 12 o'clock. Hard to operate weapon light with thumb.
Option 3
Clamping mount away from GB (less heat transfer) w/Streamlight TLR-3 at 6 o'clock. Can operate weapon light with index finger.
Option 4
Clamping mount away from GB (less heat transfer) w/Streamlight TLR-3 at 12 o'clock. MBUS & MAKO BSR-1 moved back. Easy to operate weapon light with thumb.
This is my prefered option so far.

Why spend the $$$ to free float a barrel and then hang something off of it?
Just sayin...

I'm running a DD Omega rail and I find that a light at the 12 o'clock position works great.
I have been experimenting with light mount positioning and have found the 12o'clock works best for me. A couple of pics of the TLR-1 on the plinker.

I wonder whether this set-up would have enough clearance to position beneath a conventional FSB. Seems the bayo lug would proabably get in the way.

ETA -- I just found that Mako also makes this. I've been thinking of trying an X300 at 6-o-clock. But it would have to come back under the FSB far enough to easily reach the controls (I don't want to have to add a tape switch). For thirty bucks, this might be just what I was looking for.

I agree regarding Tornado_Racing's original photo, but in my case the clamp would be in front of an MOE handguard.
Yeah, and it hangs very low and from just the bayo lug as the single attach point. I didn't have to think on it much further to ditch the idea.

Ooops, didn't notice the original photo owner. I used the original SF barrel clamps back in the day and was happy as punch with them. 12:00 does seem the way to go if you can get your mounting/activation/FSB/BUIS issues worked out.
For now I'll just be an hour behind at 11:00 until they come up with cleaner mounting systems/lights/etc.
Good luck!
Dennis.
