[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Lets talk keymod scout mounts.

Posted: 5/10/2015 1:21:32 PM EDT

I have a KMR and a m600u en route. Looking for some lo profile keymod mounts. I have found a few that I like but still have not pulled the trigger on anything yet. Thought you guys could steer me one direction or another with your experiences.
These are the ones I have saved on my bookmarks lol. If you prefer others let me know, if you have experience with one or more and can give some details I would very much appreciate it.

BCM

KAC

Arisaka

I know Ariska is coming with a inline mount soon also.

Keymod scout mounts are available from V7, Arson Machine , Arisaka Defense, BCM, Noveske, and a few others.

I want mine to be low profile and tuck in, so I'm going with the Arisaka inline mount, or the Unity Tactical monkey bar. Rosch is suppose to come out with their SF sight light soon.

The Arisaka inline scout mount is the lowest profile mount I've found so far. I swapped out the Novekse scout mount for theirs.

The Arisaka inline scout mount cannot be beat in my opinion. Incredibly low profile.

Posted: 5/11/2015 2:45:29 PM EDT

Satisfied enough to buy another. IMO, it beats BCM's new mount as well.

Well that seems to have settled that. I will have to pick up a inline mount.

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any of those.

Of course I'll pull the company line and vote for the KAC. I have 2 on my personal guns (m300) and they're pretty low profile.

If you email me your order number, I'll make sure it gets "customized" before it ships.

Will do lol.

BCMs' mount looks like ass...

I went with the Noveske Scout mount, It really tucks the scout light in between the rails. Its also adjustable so you can have the scout light on either side of the handguard, high or low position.

You made the correct choice

Honestly there are so many similar mounts, it's hard to go wrong, but KAC gives anyone who's anyone a stoner boner so...

While I dont have any of the mounts I can tell you one thing..... V7 Customer service IS AWESOME! I buy everything from them I can simply because of the level of service and that they have gone above and beyond EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH THEM. By far the best service of any company I have worked with in the firearms industry bar none.

Here is the Arisaka Defense Inline mount. Puts the Scout light super close to the rail.

With a laser, they are phenomenal. Without lasers, there frankly are better mounts that hold the light closer to the rail.

For me, a rifle without a laser gets a KAC. Every rifle with a laser gets a thorntail.

Does anyone make a keymod/SBR scout mount? I love the keymod mounting system but when mounted directly to the rail via keymod the light is too far back. I need something like the thorntail SBR mount but with keymod attachment. Or something along the same lines.
