- Slight radius across both faces reduces hotspots and improves comfort during extended use
- Forward placement keeps support hand clear during kneeling and prone transitions

Who This Is For
The Arisaka Defense M-LOK Indexer is ideal for tactical shooters, competition competitors, and serious hobbyists who want a minimalist hand stop that improves muzzle control and shooting consistency without adding unnecessary weight or profile to their AR-15 or AR-10 build. It's especially well-suited for anyone running a modern lightweight handguard and preferring a thumbs-forward or C-clamp grip technique.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Arisaka M-LOK Indexer different from a standard vertical foregrip?
Unlike a full vertical foregrip, the Arisaka Indexer is a minimalist hand stop designed to be placed between two fingers — typically the index and middle — rather than gripped in the palm. This keeps the hand further forward on the handguard for better muzzle control and recoil management, while maintaining a much lower profile and lighter weight than conventional foregrips.
Is the M-LOK Indexer compatible with my handguard?
Yes — the Arisaka Defense Indexer is compatible with any handguard featuring standard M-LOK slots, which includes the vast majority of modern AR-15 and AR-10 aftermarket handguards. Simply align the Indexer with an open M-LOK slot, insert the provided hardware, and torque to spec. It is not compatible with KeyMod or Picatinny-only handguards.
Can the Indexer be used with a thumbs-forward or C-clamp grip style?
Absolutely. The Arisaka Indexer was designed with modern grip techniques in mind. It performs exceptionally well with both thumbs-forward and C-clamp grips, giving the support hand a tactile reference point for consistent hand placement shot after shot. Its slim profile ensures it won't interfere with thumb placement or grip transitions during dynamic shooting situations.
