Duct tape!!!
I suggest you get the cheap Magpul MOE hanguard with a short rail length and buy a mount that fits that way.

Assuming you have the standard hand guards, here are the options that I see, cheapest first :
1) Set of rails that you can bolt onto the hand guard and get a light/grip combo;
2) Different hand guard like the previously mentioned Magpul or a B5 that has options for attaching rails and lights;
3) A clamp-on rail like the TRI-AD;
4) Drop-on RAS;
5) Knock off front sight post and mount a rail, I have 2 KMR 13's;
Recommend option 5.

if you use standard handguards, GG&G has a little pic rail that mounts up near the front and allows you to use any picatinny style mount to put a flashlight on. My personal favorite is to have it at the 10/11 O-clock position (for right handed shooter) so it sits just in front of your thumb.
Or Wolverine has these guys in stock: Mounts inside the A2 front sight and lets you put a flashlight on the front sight:

Anyone into Elzetta mounts?
Yep, simple, cheap and solid, love mine. And it's ambidextrous and accommodates any tube style light without permanent modification to the rifle.

just buy an Inforce WML & the mount above, I really like mine.

I went with an Elzeta mount on my plain jane CQ-A. It works fine with the Surefire 6P but I'll probably upgrade it to a Fenix PD-35.
That plain jane looks great with the Elzetta. I'm thinking of getting a couple of those Fenixes myself.

Very good " get er done" option here. You can wrap the light with some super 88 electrical tape to help lock it in place. This type of tape is very heat resistant. Not pretty but works like a hot dam.
The magpul polymer rails can be fit to standard Handguards with easy as well as their offset light mounts if you want a clean look.
