Offset AR Light Mounts: Arisaka, Haley, or ... ?

**Sblzrd65** · September 30th, 2021, 09:41 PM

Could use some sage advice. Looking to attach a Streamlight ProTac to an offset mount on MLOK rails for a 16" AR. Seems like Arisaka is one people use, though Haley Strategic has some options as well. Any experience/preference between the two? Or are there other brands/options I should also look towards?

I have the Arisaka offset M-Lok mount with a ProTac. I have it mounted at the 9:00 on a 13.5" handguard with a 14.5" barrel. I am using the Streamlight remote switch as well. https://arisakadefense.com/offset-scout-mount-m-lok/

I also have an Magpul inline cantilever mount with a ProTac mounted on the 45 degree slot. This is on a 10" handguard with a 10.5" barrel. Using the tailcap switch on that one. https://magpul.com/firearm-accessori...-aluminum.html

I use a BCM MLOK mount on one of my guns. Particularly this one. It's pretty solid. Not sure I'd choose it over anything else. It was in stock and on sale at the time I purchased it which was the deciding factor. It works and is very solid. No complaints.

I've run Arisaka mounts before. Also no complaints other than price. Always try to find their stuff on sale through a third party, though that's not always an option. If you can wait for one of their big sales SKDTac carries like 90% of Arisaka's product line and if you time the sale right you can get it 20% off.

That's what I have. Looking for the offset mount to attach to MLOK rails. If I put it on top where th pic rail is then it would get in the way of my optic. Probably going Arisaka at this point from the posts above.
