M-Lok is garbage. Anything that is supposed to be "soldier proof" but requires this much fiddling around is terrible by design. I'll stick with Pic rails and keymod.

It's simple videos like this that a lot of people don't know how and are afraid to ask. I was showing a guy at a gun store how to mount a red dot that has a qd mount and it created an audience of people who simply did not know. Great video

Another great tutorial. Correct, direct and simplified. Helping the shooting world one part at a time. Thanks

One important step was left out! When positioning the mount keep it flush with the handguard (which you pointed out) but also keep a bit of forward pressure (towards the muzzle) on the mount. If not, you can find it to not be as stable. I watched you do exactly that (put forward pressure on the mount), but you (possibly because you have done it 1,000 times!) did not mention it. It's also an important principle when mounting a scope. I know that YOU know, but newbies might not.

And of course this so it will place the mount tight against the front of the slot which will prevent recoil loads from being carried by the clamping and instead bear on the wall of the slot.

What fool would mount an optic on an Mlok? What Panzi would choose an Mlok over quad?

Its a good idea to look in between the barrel and handguard to make sure the screws dont hit the barrel. I had to file the screws a bit shorter to make them clear the barrel on my rock river arms ar

That's related to one of my biggest gripes with BCM. They don't give the right size screws for their own handguard and accessories. I discovered that a whole section of MLOK space on my BCM couldn't be used by my BCM hand stops because the screws would touch the gas block.

I'm buying an M&P 15 spot II and I had no clue what the hell I was looking at when I saw the handguard. It has a standard picatinny rail for the optics on top but M-Lok on the hand guard. The last M&P was a quad picatinny rail all around the handguard so this is something new to me. Thank you for the concise, well put together and informative video. Super helpful thank you so much Mr. Caleb Savant.

I love this guy! Steve and Caleb are basically the reason I'm subscribed to this channel.

When I bought my DDM4V7 - I asked the Dealer about this and he didn't have a clue. He told me I would need to take OFF the hand guard! I did not think so - that sounded a bit much. Thank you so very much for another clear and direct explanation ;-)

That's the unfortunate side of the industry, sometimes someone who doesn't know anything about guns gets placed behind the counter, for whatever reason. A few months back, I walked into a gun store where a young man was working the counter, and I asked him a question regarding "bullpup rifles". As I realized soon after his bizarre answer that he had no idea what a bullpup rifle was, I kindly pointed to a bullpup rifle, and explained to him that it's a design where the magazine of the weapon gets placed behind the trigger.

I've used 11913 rails for years, but now need an M-LOK. Your vid is excellent! Thanks loads and KUDOS to Brownells!

Just bought my first AR15 this weekend and was super confused on how I would be able to Mount anything onto the underside of that barrel cover. Thank you so much for your video, def cleared it up!

Just bought a rail that will arrive today. You guys read my mind. Thanks again from Brazil.

This is a perfect video. No padding with unnecessary steps. Right to the point and super helpful. Thank you good sir.

Thank you for your help this helps a lot when switching from a heavy quad rail to a light m-lock free float rail

After like four other videos, this one was the one that actually helped 💯💯

I really appreciate I started putting my accessories on last night and the whole time I was thinking that I missed the picatinny rail. I knew there had to be a trick to it and that I was doing something wrong. This make perfect sense.

Just watched a different video, and while it got the job done, it was a little more clumsy than this one. Great tips and great job! Now I can put my M-LOK system to work!

Best video I've seen on how to mount m-lok attachments. Great job.

Thank you. Just bought a rifle and when I got home did not know how I was going to attach anything being new to the M-lok. Great video!

Awesome video Caleb, I could not find how to actually do this anywhere. Thanks so much!!

If only it were that easy to get the nuts to the right point at first. I've had issues with MLOK for years where the nuts routinely tighten down just fine but end up being parallel to the opening in the rail instead of secure and perpendicular.

Excellent how-to video, Caleb; thank you!!!

Great video my friend. I've never seen that done before and needed to know how to put a forward vertical hand grip on the bottom M-Lok hand guard surrounding the barrel on my new AR-15. Now I know exactly how to do it. Thanks again!

This is exactly what I was looking for and so helpful, thank you!

Thank you sir. I bought a Rossi lever action that said it was m lok. I had no idea what it meant. Now I do. I’m use to rails. Thanks again.

Very helpful, I was driving myself crazy last night. We appreciate it man.

Whenever I mount anything molk, I have to hold the flat pice with a wrench and tighten them up enough so they will catch then they will hold themselves to tighten.

Just ordered an upper with mlok handguards. Until I watched your video I had no idea what they were. Thanks and great vid.

Appriciate the tips,I didnt want to scratch anything up. The fully tightening it first portion helped a ton. The manual it comes with kinda left me more confused then certain.

Took me mounting a few VGs and a light to learn that you have to adjust the space between the head of the bolt and mounting backing plate to just larger than the thickness of your hand guard in order for it to tighten down properly. Next came getting the plates to be parallel, which isn’t a necessity it just looks better upon close scrutiny (by me lol) 🤷‍♂️

This was a life saver for me. Glad you posted this.

Sheesh they should’ve put that in the instructions who would’ve thought to put the nut on outside the hand guard

Wow, so glad I watched this. Here I was thinking both that I was an idiot and that MLOK was garbage... because I was taking pliers, removing the handguard, and feeding the screw through the guard while trying to catch the beveled nut on the back. It usually took me FOREVER with sweaty hands to do. Relieved to know the proper way now and that the nut self adjusts into the correct position. Thanks!

Simple and straightforward. Thank you

THANK YOU! Just what I was looking for Keep up good work !

Holy hell this just helped me mount a rail for a PC charger. Thank you so much. Next up light mount kit.

Thank you, all other videos were complicated and required to buy M-LOCK accessories mount part!

That's crazy lol, I was looking through your old videos to learn about mlok last night lol

Extremely useful for mounting a QD sling mount. Thanks

These videos are awesome, thank you!

Very well explained tutorial thanks!

Great tutorial, Caleb! Thank you!

An absolutely great informative video sir!

Finally a video on how to do it right without taking the weapon apart. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch! Very nice & clear presentation

First time mounting m-lock big help thanks

Thanks! I'm new to ARs and I had no idea.

Great tutorial. I haven’t been able to figure out MLOK for like 6 months😂

Thank you! I found M-Lok a pain in the ass to put on and take off.

Love this channel. 👍

Great video. Made it easy for me. Much appreciated.

Love all your videos ❤❤❤

Never knew you could do this without cussing 🤬 😂

Outstanding instructional video!

I couldn't feel it but finally got it. ty.

Thanks for the great videos..

I've never used Mlok until now, I always wondered how the hell these were supposed to work, once you mentioned the bevel, I looked at mine and now I realise how it works, you saved me quite the headache!

Rocking that Brrownells Special Edition Dixxon Flannel!

Excellent video. Thank you.

Nice clean video and info thanks man! Only thing I would suggest with most any M Lok accessory do NOT over tighten once they are turned and snug you can stop, you don't want to strip em'!

Great vid, thank you.

Great information !!!

Thank you! I feel better before I order my accessories!

That's another great shirt, Caleb. Fresh.

Thanks for this video

I saw one attachment (by kinetic industries) that was spring loaded and designed to go behind the solid portion of the m-lok rail. Squeeze the end button, insert into the m-lok slot and release… quick and easy!

@TheBlakReaper

Жыл бұрын

The only issue I can see with a spring loaded design is that the spring may wear down with time as it takes a thrashing from the recoil, which in theory, can loosen the accessory off the hand guard.

I have only used Piccanty rails up to this point. Got an MLOK handgaurd recently. Now I know how to add accessories to it. thanks. But in future videos, near the end of this one, you said "The back plates are in position" etc. but the camera did not zoom in to show it, it was on you. I would show the detail for those whom may not understand. I am a seasoned gun owner, and very mechanically inclined, I get it, and totally understand, but newbies may not.

Thank you 🙏🏽

Frustration, sore fingers, ready to draw up and 3d print a tool. My wife tells me to just look up instructions on how-to. Why is she so much smarter? Grateful.

Well I learned something. Thank you. I didn’t know I was supposed to tighten it up first.

Articulate and helpful! Thanks c-dawg

Did yall notice Caleb installed a Metal PicRail section on a metal handguard? Thats the way. Everyone loves this video.

Many times when installing these, I find that the nut just turns with the screw and doesn't catch. I used to try putting a screwdriver or pliers or something inside the handguard to hold the nut in place, but I discovered a much easier way. I just pull the rail piece (or whatever I'm mounting) toward me to create resistance against the inside of the handguard, then turn the screw until it tightens. So much easier.

I just bought a "Green Laser Gun Sight Beam Rifle Compact Tactical Low Profile M-Lok Rail Mount" off eBay for around $55.00 Your video showed me just what I was looking for to mount this when it arrives. It is a low profile Laser Sight about 3" long and M-Lok - should be nice for quick-hip type shots at a target or at a "bad guy" (:

Let me add my thanks....this is one of those things that long time AR owners think is intuitive....as a new AR owner I was mystified how to mount things.

Man brother you just made life way easier haha

Helpful

THANKS

Umm, I just looked and I'm confused as to why is it Brownells only has 279K subs? Very weird. Anyway, great tutorial and video as always. Everybody has to learn. I just taught another guy at the gun shop this yesterday! I'd say it was the algorithm listening for recommendations but this is a brand new video. Lol. 🐍🇺🇸

MLok is the way to go. So simple and effective. If you like lightweight handguards like the Magpul MOE, this is the solution to mounting your accessories.

My bullpup has the handguard come off with the pull of a pin and the top of it is open so I was able to just reach in and hold while I screwed M-Lok accessories on. My AR-style rifle does not have the top open. I got everything on nice and tight, but it was such a challenge figuring it out. I should have looked for this video! Now I know though!

Wow, just wow! Lots of bad things in the world right now but that's a really good thing!

Thanks

Thanks.

Notice he doesn’t torque it too much. I just ruined a couple slots on an IWI Zion because the locking t-nut sunk into the rail like butter and left grooves and burrs in the metal. Not sure if IWI’s aluminum is soft, the BCM grip had defective t-nuts, I overly tightened or some combination of the 3. Never had issues with MLok before, not even on the Zion.

Thanks bro!

Thank you. First time here.
