Description

If you have ever tried to run a full Scout light next to your front sight and cursed the bulky factory clamp getting in the way, this is the fix. The Arisaka 18650 Series Light Body strips out the stock Picatinny clamp interface entirely, which opens up a lot more room for your front sight and tucks the light in tight against the handguard. It is built specifically for Surefire M600DF and M640DFT Scout light guts, so your existing head, tailcap, and 18650 or dual fuel setup carry right over.

What Makes the 18650 Body Different

Because the clamp is gone, you gain the most clearance when you pair this body with the Arisaka Inline Scout Mount on handguards that have 45 degree mounting surfaces next to the top rail. The underside still keeps the standard mounting holes and square lug interface, so it also drops into just about any aftermarket Scout style mount you already own. For folks running the M640DFT, this is a smart way to get off the finicky "pro" swivel body and back onto a solid, no-nonsense mounting setup.

Built To Take A Beating

The body is CNC machined from 6061-T651 aluminum and hard coat anodized to MIL-A-8625 Type III spec. The FDE version gets a coat of Magpul FDE Cerakote laid right over that anodizing, so you get color plus an extra layer of protection against wear and the elements. It weighs in at roughly 0.6 ounces, which means you are not adding any real bulk to your rifle. Buna-N O-rings come in the box to keep everything sealed up, and the whole thing is made in the USA and backed by Arisaka's lifetime warranty.

Head And Tailcap Compatibility

This body plays nice with a wide range of Scout ecosystem parts. On the head side that includes the Malkoff E2XTL, Modlite OKW and PLHv2, plus Surefire M600DF, M640DF, and M640DFT Turbo. For tailcaps it works with the Arisaka Momentary, Surefire UE, DS, and Z68 Clicky. Just remember this is the body only, so you will need to bring your own head, tailcap, and mounting screws.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Arisaka 18650 Light Body come with a light head or tailcap?

No, this is sold as the body only. You will need to supply your own light head, tailcap, and mounting screws. It is built to accept existing Surefire M600DF and Dual Fuel components along with popular Malkoff and Modlite heads.

What Scout lights does the 18650 body fit?

It is designed as a replacement body for the Surefire M600DF and M640DFT Scout lights. It also works with a range of heads including the Malkoff E2XTL, Modlite OKW, and Modlite PLHv2, plus Surefire M640DF and M640DFT Turbo heads. Tailcap options include the Arisaka Momentary, Surefire UE, DS, and Z68 Clicky.

Why remove the Picatinny clamp interface on this light body?

Ditching the stock clamp gives you a much slimmer profile and noticeably more front sight clearance. You get the best results pairing it with the Arisaka Inline Scout Mount on handguards that have 45 degree surfaces next to the top rail. The underside still keeps the mounting holes and square lug, so it drops into most aftermarket Scout mounts too.

How is the FDE finish applied and is it durable?

The body is CNC machined from 6061-T651 aluminum and hard coat anodized to MIL-A-8625 Type III spec. The Flat Dark Earth color comes from Magpul FDE Cerakote applied over that anodizing, which adds both color and an extra layer of protection. It holds up well to real-world wear on a rifle.
