Arisaka Indexer
The Patent Pending Arisaka Indexer M Lok is a continuation of our low profile, minimal control accessories. It was developed due to end-user demand for an M-Lok version of our Finger Stop for Picatinny rails, and features a slim front-to-back profile and slight radius across both faces.
The Arisaka Indexer can be used in a variety of ways, but the main intent is to place it between two fingers (usually index and middle). This typically places it further forward on the handguard, which also means it doesn't get in the way when transitioning to kneeling or prone shooting positions, where most people move their support hand towards the rear. Used in this manner, the Indexer makes it much easier to pull the rifle into your shoulder and maintain control while shooting.
Additionally, the wider, flatter profile of the Indexer functions very well as a hand stop or barricade stop, and also works as a forward limit to prevent your fingers from slipping off shorter handguards onto a hot barrel or suppressor.
Height: 1.0"
Width: 0.58"
Length: 1.5"
Weight: 0.6 oz
The Indexer is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MIL-A-8625 Type III hard coat anodized. Requires an IP20/T20 Torx wrench for installation (not included). Made in the USA.
So how does the Arisaka Hand Stop compare to their Indexer and Finger Stop? See below.
-
Arisaka Hand Stop-
The primary goal of this accessory is to aid the user in pulling their rifle into their shoulder, enhancing control and recoil mitigation. The Hand Stop can also be used as a barricade stop, or reversed and placed at the front of the handguard to prevent the support hand from slipping off the end. The size and profile were designed to fit a wide variety of hands without being too large to get in the way. -
Arisaka Finger Stop-
Unlike a hand stop, which most people position at the rear of their support hand, the Finger Stop has a rounded profile which is ergonomically designed to be located between your index and middle fingers. This typically places it further forward on the handguard, which also means it doesn’t get in the way when transitioning to kneeling or prone shooting positions, where most people move their support hand towards the rear. -
