The Arisaka 600 Series Light Body stands as a testament to innovation in weapon light design. Crafted specifically as a streamlined replacement for the Surefire Scout Light M600, this piece is engineered with precision and purpose. By eliminating the stock Picatinny clamp mounting interface, it offers increased clearance for front sights—an essential feature when paired with the Arisaka Inline Scout Mount on handguards featuring 45-degree adjacent mounting surfaces.
This model retains compatibility with an array of Scout Light M600 series components, including tailcaps and heads such as KM2C, KE2A, and KX2C. Its support extends to IR heads as well, providing versatility across operational needs. Furthermore, it accommodates any aftermarket Scout mount effortlessly due to its preserved mounting holes and square lug interface beneath the body.
For those inclined towards customization or building from scratch, additional components are readily available through various online retailers. The adaptability of this light body allows users to enhance their setup significantly by opting for superior light heads like the American-made Malkoff E2HT and E2XT models. These choices offer improved beam profiles and higher candela output compared to standard options.
Please note that while versatile in many respects, the 600 Series Light Body does not support Surefire's M600DF head nor does it accommodate 18650 cells; however, it remains compatible with 16650 cells.
