Need Input About Mounting a Light to a Mossberg 590 (9-Shot)

I have a "standard" 590 (8+1) upon which I recently added a Heavy Walled barrel (A1 type) and have since discovered that my current light mount(s) will not work. For instance, the Nordic Components barrel/tube clamp simply will not fit right with the thicker barrel and my Insight shotgun adapter extension clamp wont work as it is apparently meant to be used with mag tube extensions (therefore, the 590 tube is too small).

So....I have been looking into a Mesa Tactical clamp and various others but have yet to receive any good feedback. Any thoughts? Oh, I should mention that the light I am needing to mount is an Insight M3X Tactical (rail mount).

Thanks.
 
duct tape :)

Seriously though, I wish I could help but I've been looking for a good way to mount a light to mine as well.
 
with all the money you spent, why not just get the surefire forend with light?

I have considered this, but since I already have a light, I can't completely justify the expensive Surefire setup at this time. Plus, I have heard this particular forend setup has fitment issues concerning the way it "mates up" with the bayonet lugs on the 590 barrel, thus requiring further modification. Hence, it just isnt worth the trouble at this point.
 
I just now figured out a way to get the Insight shotgun (mag tube mounted) adapter to work. Turns out that since I had removed the thin film of tape from the internal portion of this adapter (in order to fit it around the NC tube for my Benelli SuperNova), it no longer would "fit" standard diameter tubes as it would simply slip no matter how tight I made the screws.

So, I just simply put a few thin layers of electrical tape inside the adapter and it worked. Unfortunately, after the effort and worry, I have since decided to go without a light as the HW barrel is heavy enough w/out hanging a light from the gun.
