An M-Lok rail system is a semi-permanent attachment you can fix to virtually any gun (although often an AR-15 rifle). The rail allows you to fix any accessory to your firearm, such as an optic sight, flashlight, handguard, or bipod.The quarter-turn T-slot nuts have different torque specifications depending on the handguard material:

( November 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) With humble beginnings as an optic or sighting attachment system for rifles, development of a simple yet robust accessory mounting system for forend and handguard accessories started decades ago. Picatinny rail accessory attachment development began in the early 1990's and was finalized in 1995 as the MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail attachment system. The military, law enforcement and civilian shooting world finally had a standardized way to attach optics, sights, lights, lasers, night vision devices, bipods and other accessories made by manufacturers around the world. Attachment screws made by many U.S. manufacturers are often either #8-32TPI or 10-24TPI UNC threads, which respectively have major thread diameters of 0.1640inches and 0.1900inches (4.166-0.794mm and 4.826-1.058mm expressed in metric designation). Many M-LOK screws on the international market instead use either M4 or M5 metric threads to reduce cost. Besides the ability to add and remove accessories, two of the biggest considerations when selecting an attachment system is weight and bulk. In general, M-LOK systems weigh less than their Picatinny counterparts because they don’t require the extra mass of external rails. That said, for military applications or resilience tests, KeyMod is too light to be super effective. Plus, in drop tests, many attachments can separate from the rail, which is a huge problem in the field. ( 1) Mlok Rail vs KeymodWith a range of lengths, styles and colours to choose from, M-LOK Airsoft handguards offer more options than ever before and are available for almost every Airsoft rifle and SMGplatform on the market. Now is the time to upgrade to M-LOK and kit your primary out with the most recently designed vertical and angled foregrips, hand stops, flashlight mounts, rail covers and bipods so you can stay at the cutting edge. M-Lok rails are better than KeyMod and Picatinny for different reasons. However, if you’re talking about heavy-duty performance, a Picatinny Rail is better. What does M-Lok mean on a rifle? A 15-inch M-Lok rail will have a 33 mm diameter, meaning it will fit over any AR-15 or similar rifle. Even with a relatively long shaft, this size rail only weighs 8.6 ounces. What is the 12” Free Float Super Slim M-Lok rail system? Since M-Lok looks to be replacing the old Picatinny Rail system, let’s look at a few of the ways these two models differ:

A prototype of the MOE slot was revealed by Magpul in late 2007 together with their Masada Concept Rifle (which would later be known as the Adaptive Combat Rifle). The MOE slot system was released by Magpul in 2008 as a feature on their MOE handguards, and at the same time compatible accessories such as Picatinny rail sections, direct MOE mounted light mounts, grips, bipod studs, etc. were released. Comfort– A Picatinny Rail comes with sharp edges, and new rails can sometimes cut the shooter. That doesn’t happen with an M-Lok.It may seem obvious at this point, but Picatinny rail systems require larger outer diameters than M-LOK systems. A quad rail (top, bottom and sides) requires space for the external rail as well as clearance for the equipment being attached. In comparison, since the M-LOK system does not utilize an external rail for attachment and does not require clearance for attaching devices, an M-LOK system can have a smaller overall outer diameter.

While screw and slot dimensions are available on the web, the T-slot nut dimensions are currently under review by the US State Department to determine whether it should be regulated by ITAR, and until it is clarified drawings are only available to US citizens. The M-Lok mounting system works as a handguard, allowing you to hold the barrel of your rifle without burning your hand. Once you install the system to your gun, M-Lok mounts accessories in any one of the slots. To attach an accessory, you simply use the attachment’s T-nut mounting plates to fix the piece to the inside of the M-Lok slots. Then, you use a screwdriver to turn the nut so it stays in place. You reverse the process to detach the piece as needed. How to Install an M-Lok: Explained
