Description
Arisaka Defense built its reputation on stripping accessories down to just what you need and nothing you don't, and the QD Mount is a perfect example of that thinking. It gives your M-LOK handguard a clean quick-detach sling point without the bulk you get from a lot of the competition. The mount sits close to the rail, keeps a low profile, and lets you run your sling exactly where it feels right without printing through your grip or snagging on gear.
Why the Arisaka QD Mount M-LOK Sits Flatter Than Most
The body is CNC machined from 6061-T651 aluminum and finished in a MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodize, so it holds up to hard use and blends right in with FDE builds. At roughly a third of an ounce it barely registers on the scale, and the anti-rotation interface keeps it locked in place shot after shot. The QD socket allows for eight different positions, which means you can dial in the angle of your sling instead of settling for whatever the mount hands you.
Swivel Compatibility on the QD Mount FDE
This mount accepts all standard push-button QD sling swivels, and it also plays nicely with the Geissele and ALG Defense forged QD sling swivel if that's what you're running. That flexibility makes it an easy drop-in for most modern carbine setups, whether you're building a lightweight range gun, a hunting rifle, or a duty-style AR.
Getting the Arisaka QD Mount M-LOK on Your Rifle
Installation is about as simple as M-LOK gets. The mount ships with two M-LOK nuts and two socket head cap screws, and you'll just need a 5/32-inch Allen wrench to tighten it down. Snug it to the slot you want, pick your angle, and you're good to go. It's made in the USA, and folks who run Arisaka gear tend to keep coming back for exactly that reason.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Arisaka QD Mount M-LOK come with a sling swivel?
No, this is the mount only. It accepts any standard push-button QD sling swivel, along with the Geissele/ALG Defense forged QD swivel, so you can pair it with whatever swivel you already run or add one separately.
What tool do I need to install the QD Mount FDE?
You'll need a 5/32-inch Allen wrench, which is not included in the package. The hardware itself comes with the mount, including two M-LOK nuts and two socket head cap screws, so setup is quick once you have the wrench handy.
Will this Arisaka QD Mount work on any M-LOK handguard?
Yes, it's designed to mount to any standard M-LOK slot. The anti-rotation interface keeps it from twisting once it's torqued down, and the eight-position socket lets you fine-tune the sling angle to suit your build.
How does the Arisaka QD Mount compare to other M-LOK sling mounts?
It's known for sitting lower to the rail than a lot of popular options, which keeps it out of the way of your support hand. The machined aluminum body and hard coat anodized finish give it a rugged, minimalist feel that fans of Arisaka gear tend to appreciate.
