The locking teeth are biased to the forward position, keeping your light aligned for the most critical uses, but with a firm twist, the VariArc-VS mount unlocks and rotates through 8 additional lower-force index points for administrative tasks and diffused lighting options. Its small footprint and low profile keep things tidy. The VariArc-VS includes both a Picatinny rail and a Scout light mount, allowing for maximum compatibility with visible and IR lights. The VariArc-VS is built to remain fully functional through extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, sand, water, drops on concrete, and rough handling. Picatinny Installation: Do NOT loosen adjustment center screw before mounting! Attach light to Picatinny section of VariArc-VS.

Retain the cap, wave washer from the assembly and reassemble back into the Scout mount in the same configuration as the Picatinny mount. Screw the center screw through the assembly and into the nylok nut. Tighten to 4-5 in-lbs or until the assembly no longer rattles. Attach your light to the Scout mount using the included socket head cap screws using the included 9/64th allen key. NOTE: Verify the included socket cap screws are the correct length for your light, use your own screws as necessary.
