This is an excellent video. Thank you for your diligence and attention to detail; especially showing the hand guard from underneath.

@lynnmckenney1987 9 жыл бұрын

Let me just say...thank you SO much for actually showing this. I read and re-read the explanation of how this system worked on magpul's website, and just couldn't quite grasp it. Now that I SEE it in action, I will definitely be picking up their hand guard, flashlight mount and vfg! Also, the fact that they left their mounting system patent as open source just makes me like them that much more!

Holy crap. Thank God I found this video. I bought a Springfield Saint AR and I finally figured out it has the M-Lok hand guard, which a search finally led me to this video. Now I can order one of these and get my new Streamlight Protac HL-X installed! I'm a little new to the AR world, so don't judge me too harshly. I realize this video was put out a while back, but thanks!!

@My_Alchemical_Romance 4 жыл бұрын

IHate Goths yup. Sadly. And my best AR is actually Mlok. Not a fan. Recently heard that the military is switching over to M-Lok.. which really is confusing to me. Why? Because while Mlok might LOOK kinda cool, it makes for MORE pieces required to attach to the rail system. With picatinny, you just attach your light or your optic or whatever, and carry on about your day.... With Mlok, you require that additional accessory (rail section) to even attach your optic or your light or your laser or whatever Gucci gear your gun is rocking. Why would they do that? Example given-I left my favorite gun shop about a week ago. It’s about an hour drive from my house. I got everything I had needed, including a rail section. The packaging (aside from the words), are IDENTICAL to the MOE as well as the keymod. I had accidentally purchased a MOE rail section, opposed to the correct Mlok. This simple problem is likely to become a HUGE logistical issue for all Supply Sergeants down range. Why would you complicate a process that already works fine as is...? You know? As for me; turns out I said I want my fucking money back; and I got my pressure switch installed with a small tiny set of zip ties. Low tech, saves the day.. (and $7 bucks. Lol) How is everyone else liking it....? Y’all boys like the system or hate it... ?

@DaveSmith-cp5kj 4 жыл бұрын

@@My_Alchemical_Romance The Army released a power point and the primary reason is because keymod only locks in one direction, forward. This is perfectly acceptable for stuff like mounting lights/lasers, etc, but failures were seen when using it for bipods (loading the bipod), handstops, and mounting equipment like an M320. The point of negative space systems like mlok and keymod is to reduce weight. Mlok is much lighter than a quad rail. Quad rails make sense if we are swapping stuff often, but often this is not the case. There is an argument for heavier but stiffer quadrails in order to maintain zero on a laser, however the issue is mostly negligible.

Thank you for the video. Both systems can work very well. You can mount M-lok devices onto keymod, flip the t-nuts around and slide it all the way into narrow part. You will need a wrench on the t-nut so it won't spin.

It should be noted, that you can tighten further on the m lok...once you feel the t bolt lock in, you can tighten further to ensure a secure fit....

@boss350z5 8 жыл бұрын

+soloiconeternal it's like 35inlbs not much force at all. tightening until resistance is felt is close enough. it wont go anywhere... i guess if your an actual operator out in the field it may more critical, otherwise hand tightening should be fine assuming you had the gap between the t nut and screw right in the first place...

You know that you can do the voice-over after you string together your videos so you can get it right before you attach sound to the video, but then, we would not get the funny out-takes. I really like the Magpul SL line; still waiting on the mid-length versions to come out. Well done, once again.

Extremely well done video. Thanks for the exquisite attention to detail and not only the comparison but the thorough explanation of how MLOK works. I've had (have?) my doubts as to whether a polymer can withstand the riggers of some applications with this system, not so much for lights or vertical grips, but for a sling mounting point. Time will tell. I'm curious as to whether the guys in the trenches who have used this system in combat vouch for it's ability to stand up to these types of tasks. A failing sling mount at the wrong time would probably make for a lousy day especially if lead is coming back at ya.

If you tighten the t nut all the way down before you place it on the handguard then loosen the t nut until you feel it turn it gets a perfect fit everytime. It can also help if once the t nut catches the rail you quickly torque it to the right and it will hold a little tighter.

@BlueSky-qv7cd 8 жыл бұрын

Both the M-Lok and Key Mod slots would be cut on a CNC milling machine, I doubt their would be much difference in time to manufacture, so they should be about the same price in theory, the key mod has more holes so their is a little more fine adjustment fore and aft on your hand guard. Also with Key Mod you don't have to set the locks up just right before installation, just loosen the screws and install. If you're adding and removing things pretty often on your hand guards, trying to make sure your M-Loks are set just right could be a pain in the butt, plus you need a second tool to do it, instead of something to just turn the screws. As long as you stick with Aluminum rails and mounts for your Key Mod you won't have any problems.
