Installation tip: In order to reduce the overall length of the mount as much as possible, it is necessary to unscrew the tail cap of the light to access the front-most mounting screw. This mount is not intended for use in a cantilever fashion where it hangs off the end of the handguard. Doing so may result in mount failure in the event of a heavy impact to the light.Ĭompatibility with front sights varies depending on mounting location on handguards with 45 degree flats:ġ.

Top left 45 degree flat: Most sights work, including MBUS Pro, Knight's Armament Micro, Troy folding, and Diamondhead. MBUS Gen II work if positioned to allow clearance for the release tab.Ģ. Top right 45 degree flat: Due to the asymmetrical body of the Surefire Scout Light, placement of the front sight and light are more critical in this setup.

The smaller sights like MBUS Pro and Knight's Armament Micro work fine, but the Troy, Diamondhead, and MBUS Gen II will not be able to clear the main body where the screw holes reside for the stock picatinny adapter. This means one or the other will have to be moved forward/back to get appropriate clearance. #Diamondhead keymod accessories series#Īnother option is to use an Arisaka 300 Series Light Body or 600 Series Light Body, which will allow plenty of clearance.

Requires a T15 Torx and 5/64' Allen wrench for installation (not included). Recommended torque: 20 inch lbs for both KeyMod screws and light body screws with medium strength threadlocker.
