Thread: After some accessory mounting advice.

Hi Guys

I'm doing a little improvement project on my Marlin 925 .22 and was hoping someone could help me with an idea or two.

I'll be stickin the project under the project thread soon enough. Basically, free float barrel, open sight upgrade to apertures (tech sights, on their way), trigger job
and a funky LED flashlight mount.

My problem is the flashlight mount. The rifle has the small 11mm or 3/8" dovetail groove setup for scope mounting. It is also drilled and tap. The picture below shows the same rifle with the tech sights mounted:



As can be seen, the front tap holes are free for mounting a bracket of some kind that will hold a torch at an offset. As I can't find a 11mm or 3/8" dovetail offset mount for a torch and only weaver style ones, my thinking is to add a rail which would then take the offset weaver mount as below:




Now my question is....will this setup be low enough as to not impede my line of sight between front and rear sights?

If I'm missing a glaringly obvious way of mounting a torch with open sights on a rifle like this.....LOLS in advance.

Also don't know how to get rid of the images doubling up.

Cheers
