This is another Magpul product that really solves a problem. This is the cleanest M-LOK solution yet for keeping wires managed. Better than the picatinny Larue clips. Plus they are M-LOK compatible without the need of additional weight of a picatinny section. 6 come in a box, and each unit is comprised of two parts. On the underside is a series paths to route your cable. You can mount in parallel or at a 90 degree angle

Over the next few days I will experiment with the placement and specific routing till I get it just right.

Overall big thumbs up.

Looks good. Thanks for sharing. I didn't even know they were making such a kit.

Dope. Do you just pry up on the center section to release it?

I really like the Arson Machine Co. ones, but the Magpul ones are a fraction of the price as always.

Is it bad that I just use wire ties?

Cause that WCK looks pimp.

Augee at TNVC and we first discussed a wire management panel in Sept or Oct of 2020, a few months before we moved to TX. I had a different design than Augee's, his ideas (hand drawn on a piece of paper) was chosen because it was much better, it would route and protect the cables underneath, while mine routed the cable externally and would have been less secure.

In Nov, a prototype had emerged, PCM (Panel, Cable Management) was released in early 2021. A longer, 2 slot version followed, then a 3 slot panel, TNVC only carries the single MLOK slot version. I'm not sure if PCM was the first of such products, since we decided not to patent it, other similar but less expensive molded plastic versions soon appeared.

Magpul's is different in design and execution, while Strike's is nearly a copy of PCM, save for the external texture where we use our well developed dimples design.

Stroke Industries seems to knock off a lot of your stuff. I guess they say imitation is a form flattery or something like that.

I’m not sure if that’s the correct way but that’s what I did, using a tiny flathead. The type you’d use on a watch or sunglasses.
