View Full Version : Closest to the rail keymod light mount?

I've been looking for a keymod offset mount that brings the light in tight to the rail around the 1:30 position. I've found the Thorntail keymod mount, but it doesn't look like it brings the light in very close to the rail whatsoever. Has anyone found a good keymod light mount that brings the light in close like Larue or Gear Sector's offset mounts? Thanks.
KAC is supposedly pretty good. But the owner of Arisaka Defense is a member here and he makes some really good looking stuff. Cheaper and better availability too. Check them out.

Yeah... you're going to want to look at the Scout light mount from Arisaka Defense. I have the P series mount that attaches on the side slots. But it looks like the Scout mount which will run on the 10 or 2 oclock keymod slots will get a Scout light even more snug into the handguard.
If you don't have a Scout light, Arisaka is coming out with their own bodies which you can add a SF switch and a malkoff head to. I've got those parts coming already so I can run a Scout style light at the 10 o clock position on the KMR.

The build your our scout sounds like the way to go. ETA on their bodies?

To add to this, pricing?
We're making a mini-scout compatible body in order to remove the picatinny mounting wings that interfere with larger front sights when mounting on the top 45 degree flats of handguards like the KMR, URX, and MK8. The by-product of this is that you can also build your own scout light if you find your own head and tail cap (which isn't hard).
I quoted a price of $70 max for the body on wevo, but it turns out it's going to be significantly less than that. I don't want to make a promise I can't keep, so I'll leave it at that.
Note in the second image how the picatinny wings are trimmed off compared to the stock body. Those wings are the real cause of clearance issues when you try to run a scout light on the right side of a handguard with diamondhead and troy sights. These light bodies will also help with clearance on the Centurion CMR with the Centurion polymer scout mount, too, and will work in any aftermarket scout mount (gear sector, etc). They should be going to anodizing on monday, hopefully available before Thanksgiving, but no promises.

Slippers,
Very awesome. Just black? FDE?
I'm definitely in for one.

Black only on the first batch. We've had a few requests for FDE on several of our parts so its something I'm working with the anodizers on to get a good FDE color.

I am interested in getting my hands on one of these.

Understood.
And new because I'm the question asking type any plans for full size scout bodies?
And to anyone else does malkoff produce a 500 lumen head at present?

Yes on m600 bodies but first things first. [emoji1]

Very cool, unfortunately I have an MK5 w/o the extra 10 and 2 mounting options like the KMR, URX, or MK8:( So unless I switch to one of those for yet more $$, I'm going to keep searching for a mount that's offset close to the rail ideally like the picatinny compatible LT752 and Gear Sector, just for keymod.

I checked out the KAC keymod scout mount, looks like what I'm looking for, thanks!

I'd be up for an FDE KeyMod Scout mount. Especially if the color is close to SureFire's so it's all pretty looking.

I picked up a kac keymod scout mount, just what I wanted, brings it in tight enough where is just barely plays nice with a troy front sight base, but with a kac micro front, there's plenty of room. Thank you.
Forgot about this thread. Since I last posted we released our offset scout mounts, which are available for keymod, and soon for M-Lok and CMR. Very thin, lower profile than the KAC, and 4 lateral mounting positions for compatibility with almost any front sight. Also cheaper. :)
