The Patented Arisaka Offset Scout Mount is specifically engineered for compatibility with a wide array of lighting systems, including the Surefire Scout Light M600 and M300 series, Modlite PLH and OKW, Arisaka 300, 600 and 18650 series lights, Streamlight Protac rail-mount 1, 2 and HL-X (non-laser) and Olight Odin. This mount replaces the standard picatinny rail adapter with a streamlined, low-profile mount designed for M-LOK handguards. Measuring less than 0.20 inches thick, the Offset Scout Mount positions the light at a precise 45 degree angle when installed on the side mounting surfaces of M-LOK handguards, minimizing protrusion and optimizing space along the rail system. It can be oriented upwards at approximately the 1:30 or 10:30 clock positions or downwards at the 4:30 or 6:30 clock positions to suit user preferences. Furthermore, the mount offers three lateral mounting positions for the light body, spanning approximately 0.240 inches, enabling users to adjust the light's proximity to the top rail, front sights or other accessories. When used with the Arisaka 300 series Light Body or 600 series Light Body, additional clearance is provided for accommodating larger front sights. The Offset Scout Mount is compatible with a variety of M-LOK handguards such as the BCM MCMR, KAC URX4 and Geissele SMR MK8/14/16, ensuring versatility across different platforms. It should be noted that it is not compatible with the handguard profiles of the Aero Precision Enhanced Gen 2, Sig MPX or MCX Virtus (unless using the suppressor width handguard).
