Overview
Designed for the MCX Virtus in 5.56mm, this clamp is intended to help reduce zero shift for lasers and iron sights mounted to the handguard. It is made for use with the Sig Sauer OEM slim handguard or the Midwest Industries standard M-Lok handguard, making it a focused fitment option rather than a universal part. Arisaka also notes a newer combined 5.56/300BLK ZRC version, so buyers should weigh this model against that updated alternative before choosing. For shooters setting up a Virtus for sighted use, it serves a specific role in tightening handguard-to-receiver retention.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This version is specific to the MCX Virtus chambered in 5.56mm, so it is not the universal ZRC option for other MCX configurations.
- It is intended for use with either the Sig Sauer OEM slim handguard or the Midwest Industries standard M-Lok handguard, so handguard compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
- The product description recommends the newer combined 5.56/300BLK ZRC instead, which may be the better fit if you want the broader compatibility and tighter lockup described there.
- Its purpose is to reduce zero shift for lasers and iron sights mounted on the handguard, so it is a mounting accessory rather than a standalone performance upgrade.
