Give your rifle tripod-ready stability and race-stage speed with the MDT M-LOK ARCA Rail (10.25"). This precision-machined aluminum rail adds a full-length ARCA-Swiss dovetail to any M-LOK handguard or chassis, delivering super-smooth fore-aft adjustment on tripods, leveling bases, and barricade clamps. The extended 10.25" length offers generous clamping real estate for ideal balance with suppressors, heavy optics, night gear, or long barrels—without adding unnecessary weight. A tough black anodized finish shrugs off field abuse and keeps the rail gliding smoothly in ARCA clamps.
Why Choose a 10.25" ARCA Rail
Tripod & Barricade Dominance: Slide to your rifle’s center of gravity for rock-solid, wobble-free shots from tripods, posts, and bags.
Extended Adjustment Window: 10.25" of dovetail lets you re-index quickly for different props, bag sizes, bipod positions, or accessory loads.
Lightweight Strength: CNC-machined aluminum keeps ounces down while maintaining rigidity for repeatable accuracy.
Field-Tough Finish: Black anodizing resists corrosion and abrasion and maintains a slick interface for clamps.
M-LOK Simplicity: Mounts directly to M-LOK slots in minutes with common tools (hardware typically included—verify package contents).

Model/SKU: 103572-BLK / 103572BLK
UPC: 709951106488
Fit Tip: Requires an M-LOK forend. For KeyMod or proprietary systems, use an adapter or select a rail made for that interface.
Real-World Benefits
Stability = Hits: ARCA clamping dramatically reduces sight picture wobble for tighter groups and more first-round impacts.
Balance Heavy Builds: Offset suppressors, thermals, or long glass by sliding to the best balance point—fewer micro-corrections on target.
Match-Ready Speed: Quickly slide between prone, tripod, and barricade positions without fighting fixed sling studs or short rails.
Cleaner Workflow: One rail standard for tripods, clamps, and ARCA bipods means fewer adapters and faster setup.
Ideal Use Cases
PRS/NRL & Club Matches: Swift fore-aft adjustments on props; lock-in tripod stages with confidence.
Predator & Night Hunting: Balance rifles with thermals/illuminators; clamp directly to tripods in the dark.
Backcountry Glassing & Shots: Run one tripod for optics and rifle—clamp, confirm, and send with minimal gear.
Trainer & Crossover Rigs: Standardize support gear across multiple rifles with a common ARCA interface.
Installation (Quick Guide)
Unload & Verify Clear.
Position the Rail: Choose the M-LOK slots that give the best forward coverage for your shooting style.
Install Hardware: Insert M-LOK T-nuts and screws; align and seat the nuts in the slots.
Torque to Spec: Tighten to M-LOK recommendations (commonly ~35 in-lb—follow the hardware instructions).
Function Check: Clamp into your ARCA device and slide fore/aft. Ensure smooth travel and solid lock-up.
Pro Tip: If you frequently load a bipod or barricade hard, place the rail so an ARCA stop or clamp pad lines up with your typical hand position for consistent pressure.
Compatibility Notes
Tripods/Heads: Works with ARCA-Swiss clamps (shooting tripods, ball heads, leveling bases, hog saddles with ARCA jaws).
Bipods: Use an ARCA-to-bipod adapter or an ARCA-ready bipod.
Sling QD: Add M-LOK QD cups adjacent to the rail if you need sling attachment points.
Care & Maintenance
Keep It Clean: Wipe the dovetail and slot edges; grit can hinder smooth clamping.
Re-Check Torque: After the first range day, travel, or temp swings, verify fastener torque.
Finish Care: Avoid harsh abrasives; the anodized surface provides the slick, durable interface ARCA clamps need.
