Maybe not the preferred method to mount a light, but this is what I did (more details in post #3552):
Is the boy you were proud of the man you are?

hi everyone.
I attached VORTEX UH-1 my 1301.
I want to know what optics is the best on 1301.
please tell me about what optics do u attach on 1301.
Hello, everyone! I somehow thought I'd registered years ago but apparently not. At any rate, now I have! I just got my 1301 a few days ago. So far the only mod I've made is adding a Steiner Mk7 WML. It replaces the end cap of the mag tube. Seems pretty durable and it's pretty bright for 1 x CR123a.
I just wanted to mention that I contacted GG&G and they've told me they'll have a light mount coming out for the 1301 Tactical "within a month". This was maybe two weeks ago. I neglected to ask if it will be a rail & sling loop mount but I hope it is! As cool as the Aridus parts are the only one I really want is the adapter to use the Mossy version of the SGA stock. IMO it's the best shotgun stock ever made.
Unfortunately I wrecked my shoulder about the time I ordered the Beretta so I've yet to fire it. I've got an arthroscopic surgery scheduled for this Friday on my shoulder (and crossing my fingers that I won't need a full replacement!). Once I mend up a bit I'll be hoping to try 'er out!
I've been reading this forum for some time and just registered too. I'm curious to see what GG&G comes up with. I have the SGA stock but I like the solid feel of the Beretta hand guard. Except for not being able to mount a light on it. Where did you pick up the Steiner. It looks they have discontinued this accessory. And good luck on your shoulder.
I have the Nordic extension on my gun but I still used the 870 Streamlight mount because the barrel clamp on the Nordic extension was wearing the finish on my barrel. The clamp is necessary for the rail on the Nordic setup to be used. It also complicates disassembly for maintenance.
So I abandoned that quickly in favor of the Streamlight 870 mount which works just fine even with the magazine extension.
