The Indexer can be used in a variety of ways, but the main intent is to place it between two fingers (usually index and middle). This typically places it further forward on the handguard, which also means it doesn’t get in the way when transitioning to kneeling or prone shooting positions, where most people move their support hand towards the rear. Used in this manner, the Indexer makes it much easier to pull the rifle into your shoulder and maintain control while shooting.
Additionally, the wider, flatter profile of the Indexer functions very well as a hand stop or barricade stop, and also works as a forward limit to prevent your fingers from slipping off shorter handguards onto a hot barrel or suppressor.

Great for a short rail on an 8” 300blk gun where rail space is limited. Feels comfortable between your index and middle finger without feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Also acts as a simple hand stop. Amazing quality as always to be expected from Arisaka Defense.
