Area 419 is always developing new technologies to improve on existing products. With the rapid growth in popularity of using ARCA rails in precision rifles, they found a way to improve the existing dovetail technology to something that could be mechanically locked in place instead of just relying on friction.
Area 419’s patent pending serrated edge rails and mechanically locking ARCALOCK Clamp prevents parts such as the Clamp or Barricade Stop to slide under heavy pressure.
Advantages of ARCALOCK™ and Barricade Stop Kit:
- Works on all standard ARCA/1.5" Dovetail rails.
- Two-stage screw design.
- Capable of mechanical locking if used with Area 419 Rail System.
- Works as a standalone unit which can be used for a quick adjust Barricade Stop.

Clamp Features:
- Proprietary two-stage screw design.
- Clamping screw features two different thread pitches. The coarse 16tpi is used when there is no tension on the Clamp thus allowing rapid movement of the Clamp compared to others on the market. With high speed; however, comes low torque. To counteract this, as soon as the Clamp sees tension it will switch to the 32tpi threads in the knob to give you extra torque when not using on an ARCALOCK rail.
- ~1/4 Turn releases the Clamp from the detents on the ARCALOCK rail for movement.
- One Turn releases the Clamp from the rail.
- Clamp is backwards compatible with standard ARCA rails by removing the two pins. It will still work this way to give you infinite sliding adjustment on the ARCALOCK rail.
- Moving side of the Clamp is dovetailed on both sides to prevent tilt.
- Knob/Screw design prevents the Clamp from falling apart if you loosen it too far.
- Clamp and knob are machined in house from 6061-T6 Aluminum.
- Screw is turned from 303 Stainless Steel.
- Type III Hardcoat Black anodized clamp and Gold anodized knob.
