Arisaka Defense has released its new Offset Scout Mount, a KeyMod-compatible mounting plate for the SureFire Scout M600 and M300 series weapon lights. The full release can be read below:
Apex, NC, February 3, 2015 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new Offset Scout Mount.
The Offset Scout® Mount is a low profile KeyMod mounting solution for the Surefire Scout Light® M600 and M300 series weapon lights. It utilizes Bravo Company’s patent pending inverted KeyMod screws, making the mount less than 0.165″ thick. The light is positioned at a 45 degree angle and has four lateral mounting positions, which allows the light to be tucked in close to the top Picatinny rail or positioned outwards to gain clearance around front sights or other accessories. The Offset Scout® Mount can also be paired with the Arisaka 300 Series Light Body for an even lower profile light setup.
The Offset Scout® Mount is compatible with most KeyMod handguards like the Noveske NSR, Bravo Company KMR, Knight’s Armament URX4, Geissele SMR MK4/5 KeyMod, and Midwest Industries SSK.
Weighing only 0.4 oz, the Offset Scout® Mount is manufactured out of 6061 aluminum and type III hard coat anodized. Like all Arisaka products, it is made entirely in the USA.
WEST VALLEY CITY, UTAH – Feb. 2, 2015 – SilencerCo, the industry leader in silencers and accessories, was awarded Best Booth at SHOT Show 2015 by prominent firearms marketing agency Primer Strategy. SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) Show is the firearms industry’s largest annual tradeshow, bringing nearly 70,000 people to Las Vegas each January.
The accolade was given to recognize SilencerCo’s enclosed art gallery-style installation, which used 10 striking gallery wrapped portraits and more than 20 silenced firearms to kick off a yearlong protest theme – #FightTheNoise. The attention to detail employed the use of pasted playbills and posters affixed to an exposed brick façade – all to illustrate the gritty, street-worn feel made iconic by many of the most successful social movements of the past century.
“While walking the SHOW Show floor we noticed a sea of repetition and lack of evolution from year to year – the same booths, same looks and same ideas,” said Katie Perrine, president of Primer Strategy. “Then we saw SilencerCo’s design and had to stop for a closer look. It really embodied what Primer sees as the new direction of the firearms industry – strong, creative, unconventional designs without fear of breaking traditions.”
“Hopefully manufacturers in the upcoming years will enter the ‘race’ for the best design at SHOT,” added Primer’s creative director, Benjamin Forde, whose past accomplishments include art direction for FX’s Sons of Anarchy and HBO’s Generation Kill and The Pacific.
#FightTheNoise – SilencerCo’s grass-roots campaign for gun owners to demand quieter firearms and fewer federal and state regulations on firearm silencers – will continue to be a major platform for mobilizing the public throughout 2015.
“SilencerCo has always been an advocacy leader in our space, and with silencers growing faster than any other segment of the firearms industry, we thought it was time to get consumers involved in change for the better,” said SilencerCo CEO Josh Waldron. “Silencer owners can expect calls to action throughout the year, supporting the deregulation of silencer purchase and ownership, as well as their use in hunting applications.”

Former SEAL Mark Owen recently posted this photo of a Princeton Tec Switch Rail weapon light mounted to a pistol. The original concept by Sentinel Design and Austere Provisions Company was to provide low level light on a rifle rail. Sort of a navigation light.
Owen is using it on his pistol, which certainly offers a low volume light and might be just what you are looking for, depending on your application.
SPECIFICATIONS
POWER – 10 Lumens
BURN TIME – 36 Hours
BATTERIES – 2x 2016
WEIGHT – 22 Grams
Just last week, I was at SHOT Show and speaking with a friend about the need for conformal weapon lights for rifles. Looks like someone has taken some action in this realm.
According to what little data is available this patent pending 3oz system offers up about 500 lumens and is LED based with an array of lamps configured concentrically around the endcap attached to the rail.
So far, all we’ve got to go on is this video, a couple of photos and a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/New-Weapon-Lighting-System. Hopefully, we’ll see more soon.
