Hello,
Here is an idea for a flashlight mount on my 1894, and thought I might run it past you folks first. Skinner sights are going on soon and I intend to remove the factory buckhorn and was going to fill the dovetail with a blank. Trouble is, I bought this rifle not just for hunting and targets, but for varmint and zombie troubles too. A flashlight might be real handy.
I like the look of my rifle and I don't want to change her up all that much, so I was thinking instead of a rail, maybe some sort of small armature that fits in the existing dovetail and holds a light slung under it. A really small light would be best for me, maybe even a Maglite Solitaire. Something small would rest right where the barrel and stock meet, and blend into the lines of the gun better.
Well, if anyone here has a couple cents they would like to throw in, or even better, if there is anyone who would like to work on something like this please let me know.
Good shooting,
Tom.
