Arisaka Inline Scout Mount - M-LOK

Precision in Simplicity: Elevate Your Tactical Gear with the Arisaka ISM-M Mount

In the realm of tactical shooting, every component of your gear plays a crucial role in ensuring efficiency and reliability. The Arisaka Inline Scout Mount in M-LOK, exemplifies this principle. Designed to offer a more integrated and streamlined solution than traditional mounting systems, this mount is tailored for modern tactical rifles, moving away from the older Picatinny systems to the more contemporary M-LOK rail systems. By replacing the bulkier, more protrusive mounts, the Arisaka ISM-M addresses the need for a compact, low-profile light mounting solution, essential for tactical operators who require unimpeded maneuverability and minimal interference from their equipment.

The challenge faced by tactical shooters is the added bulk and potential snagging of traditional light mounts, which can impede the efficiency and handling of the firearm, especially in dynamic situations where agility and speed are key.  Imagine the frustration of a light mount that hinders your sight alignment or gets caught on other gear. In critical moments, these minor setbacks can have significant consequences, affecting both performance and safety.

The Arisaka ISM-M solves these issues with its low-profile design, ensuring that weapon lights are mounted seamlessly with the firearm. This design not only enhances the firearm's overall functionality but also maintains its aesthetic integrity.

This inline mount is offered in Black, FDE and Tan.
