The Arisaka Defense Offset Light Mount (OSM-K) is designed to be compatible with KeyMod handguards. It is specifically made to mount SureFire Scout Light weapon lights in an offset position. The offset configuration allows the flashlight to be positioned to the side of the handguard rather than directly on top.
Using an offset light mount has several advantages. It brings the light closer to the bore axis of the rifle, reducing potential shadows and obstructions caused by front sights or other accessories. It also allows for more natural activation of the flashlight with your support hand, making it easier and quicker to access the light's controls.
The mount features an anodized black finish, which enhances its durability and provides a sleek appearance. Anodizing is a common finishing process used on firearm accessories to increase their resistance to wear and corrosion.
