The Mlok Handguard

     

    The Mlok Handguard

     

    Before the Mlok Handguard was produced, there were the KeyMod and MOE systems. The KeyMod system is an AR accessory rail that can be attached to a rifle in order to more easily attach accessories directly to the handguard. The KeyMod system is a lightweight, open-source design that was created in 2012 and allows other companies to make this rail attachment without paying any royalties. The MOE, on the other hand, is a handguard system that allows for attachments to be made on the for-end of the handguard, limiting its capabilities. As a result of not being able to fully customize the handguard, Magpul created a handguard system that better fit the needs of shooter, thus resulting in the Mlok.

    The Mlok, Modular Lock system, is similar to both the KeyMod and the MOE, but with a few differences. Made in 2014, the Mlok was created to make a handguard system that was compatible with polymer attachments and would allow for more customized attachments to be made. Unlike the KeyMod, but similar to the MOE, the Mlok features elongated, rectangular slots and features:

    1. Direct mount capability – No need to access rear of the system for accessory attachment. They can be mounted front the front face of the slot.

    2. Cammed T-Nut – Easily attach and remove accessories by simply twisting the T-Nut to tighten and loosen.

    3. Optimized for metal and polymer manufacturing – The Mlok features a mold design that can easily be attached to.

    4. Recoil/impact mitigation lugs – Prevents movement of the Mlok under recoil or rough handling.

    5. Intermediate spacing options – Accessories can be mounted within, between, or across slots.

    6. Multi-directional mounting – Accessories can be mounted at front or rear of handguard without interrupting function.

    7. Backwards MOE compatibility – MOE accessories can be mounted to the Mlok with an adapter plate, giving users a much wider variety of accessory options.
