Well you can add a rail like these:
http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/mountssi_biih.htm
Look at the top of that page
Then get a Viking or even CAA mount if you want and put it on that, or go with one of the FSP mounts that work fairly well. If you do the FSP mount, get a tape switch, other wise you're stuck with on or off setting or an incredibly bad grip.
Calvin at BrightFlashlights.com has a few G2 and G3's setup with options for the tail cap/tape switch and shock isolated bezels. The G2 is going to for the most part be more than enough for typical weapons light use, but hey if you want to drop $2-400 on a high end SF light, take pictures and let us know how you like it... I'll be sticking with my Calvin Specials and blinding bad guys when ever needed for under $100

You mention "blinding badguys." I'm curious what lumen level do you feel is required to do this. I have seen the G2's, (I think) and they're running like 65 lumens or something, right? I could be mistaken, but that seems to be not very bright. Thoughts?Well you can add a rail like these:

I got a Midwest Industries bolt on rail that just bolts into the holes that I mounted my 951 on to. Only thing is that it isn't long enough for the surefire and VFG.

After I got this light I was playing around with it (it came before the gun did) when my roomate walked in and got flashed with it. We'll say that 65 lumens is definitely effective enough.

I used to think the same way. After I bought my 1st surefire though, I've learned that 65 lumens is bright enough:

Exactly... I've shined one across the room in the dark for shiggles and accidentally hit the mirror. Yup, that'll mess up your night vision for sure
Look, I like SureFire, they make a great product and they believe that as well, their prices tell you so. I'm not crazy about spending a hundred (much less 2-400) bucks on a friggen flash light. But I gotta say, I love the SF lights I have and all those maglites I've bought over the years are sitting in a storage bin or kids toy box because of the G2's.

You can "ghetto" rig it with some plastic zip ties. (black ones, of course to match your rifle)
I mounted my streamlight on a quad rail and that works too.

I've made it a point to have at least one light mounted on one AR for the last geezzz 9 years. I've tried a few different configurations and for me, mostly because of the way I sling my AR's, I found that a forward, right side rail mounted light works best. I don't like the leftside (inside for me) mounting because it tends to snag on things more when I don't have hands on the weapon and it's hanging free on the sling.
Ah well, that won't work the same for all and this is the wonderful thing about the AR.. options, options, options
