NICE, clean looking flashlight mount, Lee. Probably the nicest I have seen for the Mini.
Most flashlights will be the size of the longer one in the photo, so any way you could put the space between the flashlight and the barrel to good use, specifically by mounting one of the new, very cost-effective lasers in that space? That would be a real winner. Ideally, sell it with one of each, complete with pressure switches for either side of the stock.
Other options you might want to consider are:
-- tapping both sides of the attachment block to allow attachment of a small, Weaver-type pad on either side of the block for additional attachment options. (This could also be done by machining the pads.)
-- a matching top block with a Scout mount
Also, I think you could sell a similar item to M1A owners, as I know of no quality mounts like this available for that platform.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
