Arisaka Side Scout Mount M-LOK FDE - Tactical Rifle Accessory for Enhanced Versatility and Durability

The Arisaka Side Scout Mount for M-LOK is a low-profile accessory designed to mount modern weapon lights on M-LOK handguards without the bulk and rattle of Picatinny adapters. Built from 6061-T651 aluminum and finished in hard-coat anodized FDE, this mount solves a real problem for rifle builders: getting a Scout-style light positioned efficiently alongside top-mounted optics, lasers, or illuminators. Whether you're running a Surefire, Modlite, Streamlight, or Olight weapon light, the Arisaka Side Scout Mount provides the low-profile mounting solution that fits modern handguard designs and tight setups.

The mount's compact footprint—just 1.265 inches long and 0.2 inches thick—means your light won't interfere with your hand position or rail space. It attaches directly to your M-LOK slots with included hardware and comes with the fasteners needed to secure your light body to the mount. The design is smart: the low-profile positioning lets your weapon light nestle underneath ATPIAL laser/illuminators (including the ATPIAL-C, AN/PEQ15, and LA-5/PEQ) and clear the QD levers on Steiner DBAL units, giving you real-world compatibility with the optics and devices serious shooters actually run. Machined in the USA and rated for the abuse tactical use demands, this is one of those accessories that disappears once installed—it just works.

Setup requires a T20 or T25 TorxPlus driver and medium-strength threadlocker (30 in-lbs for M-LOK screws, 20 in-lbs for light mounting screws). The stock Picatinny mounts on Surefire Scout lights require a T9 Torx driver to remove. If you're running longer-body Scout lights like the M620 or M951/M952 series, the Offset M620 adapter pairs with this mount for compatibility.
