Anybody have an MOE rail section of the medium or large variety handy and could measure how far apart the mounting screw holes are?

 

I just got a mini-scout-mount for my Mini 14 (http://www.brownells.com/optics-mounting/scope-bases/rifle-bases/mini-scout-mount-prod24756.aspx) and wanted to put a side mount flashlight on there using the holes on the side. Only problem is the side rail sections are $20-30 whereas the MOE sections are like $8. I think MOE sections are also lighter, and the Mini 14 ain't light to start with so trying to keep the weight down (yeah i know its just a few ounces...and yes i'm a sissy). I bought the small rail section and it doesn't match up.

 

So if anybody has measurements please let me know...trying to just mount a streamlight TLR-1s on the side so don't want any crazy offset mounts with big lights...again yes because of the weight and yes because i'm a sissy.

I have a midlength MOE hand guard, gimmie a few and i'll measure them out for you.

Never mind, the one I have on only uses one screw.

I have the longest rail section (11 slot). Screw holes from center to center is about 3 3/16"
