Why isn't there a barrel clamp with Picatinny rails?

I've been playing around with the sling mount idea using some Uncle Mikes QD push buttons. No plans as of yet. There are companies that make sling mounts that attach to picatinny rails though, GG&G being one of them.
I didn't mention it before, but these are custom made to the specific shotgun. Most clamps are a general mount, in other words, one size fits all. All shotguns are not the same in dimension so my clamps are made to the specific shotgun. Here's another couple of pics of the setup with a short rail on one side and a long rail on the other. It comes with 2 6 slot rails.
By the way, if you do use a clamp like this and you have a ported barrel, DON'T mount your light/laser/whathaveyou with the thumbscrews up if you mount it over the ports! I don't need to tell you why, right?

mounting scope on 1964 bolt action 12guage?

I have a bolt-action 12guage by Harrington And Richardson (original CT company). I have about given up trying to mount a red dot BSA (the $30 with integrated weaver clamp), or shot scope to it.

I ordered some "universal 1" long barrel clamps" from Ebay which would work in idea, but could not expand enough to fit on the barrel and the screws touched the barrel so it could not fit. If you have a 20g, I'll send them to you for $10 in TX.

There needs to be an impregnated plastic version of a smooth 4" long barrel clamp with molded picatinney rail.
 
heres what i use to mount a light on my mossberg, i guess it could double as a barrel/ mag tube clamp. it has 3 rails. utg/ weaver makes em

Nordic Components has offed a mag tube clamp has a place to add rails and a sling stud. They sale the clamp with or without the rails. Brownells carries them.

This is a better design than what's out there right now. Lighter, more versatile. You have a choice of 2 rails and you don't have to remove the rail to remove the clamp like you do on other types. The longer rail can actually be set back above the forearm. One screw holds it together. It's smaller, lighter and more simple in the design. These start at under $30.
