Description
The Amend2 M-LOK to ARCA Adapter is the bridge between your M-LOK forend and the ARCA-Swiss world of tripods, ball heads, and support gear. If you have spent any time behind a precision rig or hunting setup, you know how much steadier a tripod makes things, and this little plate is what gets you there without fuss. It bolts straight to your M-LOK slots and gives you a standardized ARCA dovetail, so any ARCA or RRS-style clamp slides right on and locks down tight.
What the Amend2 ARCA Plate Does for Your Setup
ARCA-Swiss has become the go-to standard for connecting rifles to tripods and bipods, and for good reason. Instead of messing with sling studs or QD levers, you just drop the rifle into an ARCA clamp, tighten the thumbscrew, and you are shooting. This 3-inch version is sized nicely for shorter forends and chassis where you do not have a ton of real estate to work with, and the slide stop screws on the ends keep your gun from sliding out during setup, which is a nice bit of peace of mind when you are handling a loaded rifle on a tripod.
Flat Dark Earth Finish and Solid Aluminum Build
This one comes in Flat Dark Earth, so it blends right in with FDE furniture and tan rifle builds. It is machined from aluminum to keep weight down while still handling the recoil and repeated use that comes with field and range work. The finish holds up well against the scuffs and weather you run into out hunting or at a match.
Quick Install, Broad Range of Uses
Installation takes just a few minutes with the included hardware. Beyond tripod work, the flat underside gives you a stable surface for setting up on barricades, packs, or rocks, even without a bipod attached. Whether you are glassing and shooting off a tripod on a western hunt or dialing in off a tripod at the range, this adapter earns its spot on the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Amend2 M-LOK to ARCA adapter actually do?
It attaches to the M-LOK slots on your handguard or chassis and converts that surface into a standard ARCA-Swiss dovetail. From there you can clamp your rifle directly into any ARCA or RRS-style tripod head, ball head, or leveling head. It is the easiest way to get a rifle onto a tripod for steady shooting or glassing.
Will this ARCA adapter fit my rifle?
It works with any M-LOK compatible forend or chassis, which covers most modern AR handguards and precision rifle chassis. The 3-inch length is a good match for shorter forends or setups where you do not have a lot of rail space. Just make sure you have enough adjacent M-LOK slots to seat the mounting hardware.
Are ARCA clamps universal with this plate?
Once mounted, the ARCA dovetail is a standardized profile, so ARCA-Swiss and RRS-style clamps should drop right on and lock down. That means it plays nicely with the vast majority of tripod heads, ball heads, and bipods built around the ARCA standard.
Does the adapter keep the rifle from sliding out during setup?
Yes. It includes slide stop screws that act as a backstop so your rifle does not accidentally slide out of the clamp while you are getting set up. That is a handy safety feature when you are maneuvering a loaded gun on a tripod in the field.
