Foregrip/fingerstop gas block in the way, M-Lok

[Dutch110]

The only one of mine where it isn't an issue is on my x39 build, which is a carbine gas system. The block is far enough back on that one that it doesn't interfere with anything I have or want to mount on it. On my other three mid length rifles it's right on top. And that is with three different rails. I could never find an MLOK rail that was beefy enough to provide clearance (like others have stated.) One of the reasons I am starting to migrate back towards quads.

It's definitely a drawback to M-LOK, I'd consider looking into QRF.

I have a 13" BCM MCMR on a 14.5" mid-length that I'm thinking of switching over a to a 12" QRF.

KAC URX4, DD MFR XL, and Larue LAT are among the few that aren’t as thin as a Hodge Wedge-Lok.

That's good to know. Thanks.

The problem there is it can be very close and impact upon firing due to barrel whip.

Definitely, just depends how much space is available. I agree that you don't want them too close, and depending on the rail, there may be cases where there isn't enough room, even when filing down the screws

Dutch,

Aero's Enhanced M-Lok Rails have an inside diameter of 1.72". Which is huge compared to Aero's Atlas R-One, which I have, that's only 1.30" inside diameter.

It's really the diameter for me, it's seems to be comfortable for me. I really don't like the m-lok attaching design. I have never had an issue but I'm not breaking down doors either. Much more of a rail fan, I have confidence that stuff ain't gonna move.

If you’re considering going back to pic rail, this thread: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...e-Graters-2021 might be relevant to you. There’s some dimensions and weights posted. Or just get a QRF. Nobody seems to have any complaints.

In Crane's comparison test between KeyMod and M-LOK, the mode of failure for the KeyMod light mounts was that the rail sections ripping out of the KeyMod slots. For the M-LOK, it was the 1913 flashlight mount ripping off of the rail, while the M-LOK rail section itself stood strong.

Thus, one could possibly argue that M-LOK is stronger than 1913.

…..or more appropriately that a shitty M-LOK to Picatinny accessory was tested. I don’t recall seeing the manufacturer or model for this component listed.
