The Arisaka Side Scout Mount KeyMod is a precision-engineered low-profile weapon light mount designed to position Scout-pattern lights tightly against KeyMod handguards for streamlined tactical rifle setups. Built for professional and defensive applications, the mount replaces bulky factory Picatinny adapters with a compact side-mounted solution that improves ergonomics, reduces snag hazards, and keeps the rifle lightweight and maneuverable. Its optimized geometry allows the weapon light to sit close to the handguard while maintaining excellent clearance around lasers, illuminators, and front sight systems.

Designed specifically for modern tactical lighting systems, the Side Scout Mount supports a wide range of popular weapon lights including SureFire Scout Lights, Modlite PLH/PLHv2/OKW, Arisaka 300/600/18650 Series, Streamlight Protac Rail Mount models, Olight Odin, and Cloud Defensive REIN lights. The mount positions compatible lights neatly beneath aiming laser and illuminator systems such as the ATPIAL-C, AN/PEQ15, LA-5/PEQ, NGAL, and Steiner DBAL I2/A3/D2 while maintaining clearance for controls and QD levers.

Its compact design also makes it an excellent fit for SIG MPX and SIG MCX KeyMod handguards where rail space is often limited. Precision CNC machined from durable 6061-T651 aluminum and finished with MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodizing, the mount offers exceptional durability while remaining lightweight at only 0.6 ounces. Measuring just 1.265 inches in length and 0.20 inches thick, it delivers a highly refined mounting solution without adding unnecessary bulk to the firearm.

The Arisaka Side Scout Mount KeyMod includes BCM inverted KeyMod screws and mounting hardware for secure installation. Longer-body lights such as the SureFire M620 and Millennium Series lights can also be used with the optional Arisaka Offset M620 Adapter. Proudly made in the USA, the Side Scout Mount provides trusted professional-grade performance for tactical shooters, law enforcement personnel, and firearm enthusiasts seeking a durable low-profile lighting solution.
