VISUAL INSPECTION OF NOSE GEAR AND NOSE WHEEL WELL PERFORMED AND FOUND PLASTIC MAINTENANCE FLASHLIGHT WEDGED IN STRUT.  GEAR PINNED AND FLASHLIGHT DISLODGED.  PERFORMED VISUAL INSPECTION OF NOSE GEAR, PER AMM 32-21-00-200-801.  ALSO PERFORMED OPERATIONAL TEST OF NOSE GEAR, PER AMM 32-33-00-710-801.  CHECKS GOOD.
