Im trying to mount the trinity on my 300 blackout pistol 8.5", but the trinity hits the streamlight WML I have on the left side, on an angled mlok mount.  What are my options to add clearance so either the light is away from the rail or maybe a optics mount divers board type is what I need?

Pics would help, but I’d try the 3- or 9-o’clock rails first.
Your painted rifle is ugly, but I’m uglier, so send it to me and I’ll make it look good!

If it weren’t for double standards, we’d have no standards at all.

Try and an Arisaka offset mount. Aside from being a 45deg offset mount they have 3 mounting position points on the mount for the light. Allows for just enough room for most of my setups.

Buy a $30 Monstrum swivel light mount. Just coat the tension bolt really well with vibratite vc3.

I am not an operator nor am I very smart.
Keep that in mind when reading my comments:-)

I've got a similar situation.  Just got a Trinity and mounted it all the way forward on the top rail.  I've got an Arisaka/Modlite frankenlight on an Arisaka in-line mount that I had at the 11:00 position.  It won't clear so I had to move it to the 9:00 position.  But I'm not a fan of it being here.  It's slightly awkward to hit the tailcap and feels like it stick out a foot compared to how it was tucked up nice and tight before.  And no, I don't like or want to use remote switches.

Also, it's on a KeyMod rail (I've had it for 10 years and don't see a reason to change now.)

I looked at the Monstrum but they only make M-Lok and Pic.

Any options out there for some sort of swivel type scout mount that's KeyMod compatible?

Can anyone confirm if the Arisaka off-set would work?

The Arisaka Side Scout Mount is what I use with mine. Keeps it out of the trinity battery cap position, and if your forward and aft is correct, you can hit the tailcap.

Light is a cloud rein micro 3.0, noveske mlok rail, trinity.
