Arisaka components are always high quality, durable and useful! Great purchase Perfect fit!

Great mount adds options for mounting on many setups

I have an M-Lok handguard with picatinny only on the top and nothing resembling a picatinny "ledge" on the side I wanted to mount it on. I was mounting a Streamlight Pro Tac 2 light with the tape switch. Installation was easy, just unscrew the 4 screws which hold the Streamlight picatinny mount to the light itself and replace with the Ariska scount mount and included screws (I used some Loctite at the recommended torque setting Ariska had on the packaging). The only thing that befuddled me slightly was how I was going to tighten the light/scout mount to the handguard since the screws (hex head I believe) were covered by the light but then realized that the M-Lok mount end is designed to go toward the receiver side and you simply screw off the end cap of the light to give yourself access (the directions aren't clear on this and I didn't take time to youtube it; how hard could it be...). Some people might like the Streamlight mount (assuming you could figure out how to mount it) since it's going to end up putting the light a bit more (maybe even a lot) off the handguard but the Ariska really brings the light close to the handguard and I don't have any issues (or any significant ones anyway) with shadowing from the barrel/bird cage.

Puts the light where I want it. It is neatly machined and sits flush with the hand guard.

Arisaka is known for their quality and simple mounts. I have this mounted on a Geisselle Rail with a Cloud Rein 2.0. Fit and finish is solid, and I have found no issues. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple yet solid mount for their light. This should be compatible with Surefire, Modlite, Cloud, and Streetlight rifle lights (or similar). Meaning that you can swap it around to different builds and lights without worrying about compatibility.
