The Magpul MAG498 Rail Light Mount transforms standard Picatinny rail systems into optimized tactical light platforms for AR-15 and AR-10 rifles. This lightweight polymer mount positions tactical lights at the ideal angle for maximum illumination effectiveness while maintaining a low-profile design that won't snag on gear or create unnecessary bulk.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic rail-mounted light attachments, the MAG498 features Magpul's precision-molded polymer construction with integrated wire management channels. The mount positions lights at a 45-degree offset angle, providing superior target illumination compared to standard 12 o'clock mounting positions. This angled configuration reduces shadows cast by front sight posts, muzzle devices, and suppressor attachments while keeping activation switches within natural thumb reach.Key Features
