Anybody got a cheap and easy way to mount a light on a 12ga?

I'd like something non-model-specific, though I'd be using it on a Mossberg 835. I've got a varmint light (clips onto a scope) that just happens to fit on either the barrel or mag tube, but it uses external power, which is a bit limiting if I'm looking for a critter in the yard.

I could have sworn I'd seen a simple mount to put any light with a 1" body tube on any 12ga barrel, and it was only a couple bucks, (appropriate, considering it was basically two bent strips of metal and a screw) but Google doesn't seem to want me to find it again.

Given that I'm not looking for something ultra-tacticool or super durable, I could probably fabricate a reasonable mount to solidly attach a light to any cylindrical object for less than $10, but I'd bet there are others out there who would like something similar for weapons that don't happen to have Picatinny rails nailed to every available surface.

I think this might fit the bill

That's really similar to what I was thinking of, and looks like a suitable way to do the job.

I may try to fabricate one or two from metal anyway, just so I can have a choice of lights. If I do, I'll post photos.

I have found that a strong set of zip ties will get the job done ina pinch as well.
