Product Information

While M-LOK is licensed free-of-charge, it is not open source, and thus manufacturers must acquire a license from Magpul before making products using the M-LOK standard. Magpul claims this gives them more control in assuring that all M-LOK products are made to specifications ensuring compatibility. Program participation is open to any interested manufacturer.

What is an M-Lok Split rail? 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. Between the military, law enforcement and civilian shooters, there are millions of carbines and rifles in use in the United States. And with a heavy focus on usability and practicality, the AR-15 style rifle has grown into a modular weapons platform that can be used for a variety of applications ranging from competition shooting to home defense. Becoming a platform is an important process; attachments need a solid and universal system that the industry can support with mounting solutions. And on top of all that, it needs to be light enough to avoid front-end weight, which can cause fatigue. I. M-LOK vs Picatinny - Details and Specifications

Hex keys are used extensively in the firearms industry, but metric and imperial hex keys as a general rule are not compatible. It is possible to damage the tool and screw by selecting a tool that is too small for the fastener, which can be done by using an imperial tool on a metric fastener, or the converse. An exception to this is 4mm hex keys, which are almost the exact same size as 5⁄ 32in (3.97mm). In many industries, this makes 4.0mm ( 5⁄ 32in) hex keys preferred for consumer products because end users can successfully use an imperial key on a metric fastener, and vice versa.

[1] Compared to the Picatinny rail system, both M-LOK and KeyMod enable the user to have a slimmer, lighter, smoother and more fenestrated handguard/ fore-end with accessories mounted only where needed, whereas a Picatinny handguard typically will have rail slots for its whole length, resulting in a heavier and bulkier handguard with sharp edges and poorer barrel ventilation.

As we’ll discuss, the original Picatinny Rail worked well as a modular system, but it was inherently heavy and uncomfortable. So, something like M-Lok was a welcome change to the traditional method.
