M-LOK Mounting Hack! Magpul Hates This Trick

[@1dogelsa]

I must be getting old because what we used to call common sense, is now called a hack... Good instructional video.

[@nameless-og]

Charles Fields ... I had to watch this again because I didn't understand what the hack was either. I'm thinking about putting up a hack video tonight on how I clean my teeth. 😄 that said, I like that people take the time to do this stuff, because it's great to sit down at the bench and play something while you're doing it... Sort of like a reassurance that your not about to break the new thing you got. Just wish they were titled accurately... Especially since, if I ever load a vid after not affixing a rail for a year or two, this video clearly won't be the one I pull up due to the title.

Your totally right. This is an easier way to adjust the T-nuts. There is a draw back from doing it this way though. When ever you go past the point of the right adjustment you are eating into the thread lock and it will not hold as well once you back it off. Just like going to far with a pipe fitting. If you back of the fitting you need to take it back apart and re-dope it. Doing the T-nut the correct and a tad bit harder way insures the best fit and staying power of the threads.

[@TracyGossett]

Bought my first rifle ever (and I'm 45) yesterday, then watched a bunch of videos saying I needed a sling, so I bought a sling with an mlok sling mount point and have been struggling until I watched this video. I wasn't backing off the screw far enough because one video said 180 degrees which wasn't enough. Thank you for this video.

Good video, I've owned all types rifles my whole life and have stuck to the basics. I finally decided to check out the M-Lok connection platform and had no idea how they worked and I'm not ashamed of that. Every arrogant person commenting on this had their first day handling this style product wether on construction or firearms. They also stopped to watch the video 😂 knowing so much. Maybe they got click-baited into it.. it's a real thing. I installed my first M-Lok rail setup yesterday on my AR. I'm a fan of the product now. Thanks for your help. It is super simple but you don't know what you don't know.. grow up boys.

[@PikeyScott]

Fun video. Thanks for sharing the trick. I wouldn't be surprised if Magpul updated their install instructions to utilize this method. Blind install with absolutely zero guess work.

[@ixnorp4270]

I am about to order my first M-LOK accessories. I'm glad I found this video, as it illustrates quite well how the system works.

[@TWANGnBANG]

For those unfamiliar with how Magpul says to do this, here are the instructions they include with their accessories. Two whole pages are spent instructing you to measure rail thickness, attempt to match with t-nut spacing, remove and repeat until you get it right (PDF file): www.magpul.com/Files/Images/PDF/M-LOK/M-LOK_Tips.pdf

[@dannyo383]

TWANGnBANG yeah fuck that... your instructions are looking way easier

[@OGDoubleJ]

TWANGnBANG interesting. I literally did this out of box without reading the information haha. No idea you were supposed to measure

[@bigjake4122]

TWANGnBANG the way youve shown in this video is actually the way i was taught to install these and if anyone is nervous about doing it this way and doing something outside of the instructions we have shot full auto set ups 5.56 7.65 300 blackout etc using this mounting technique over and over till you could cook bacon on the barrel and weve never had one get lose on us yet! great video twang!

Good info. But the “magpul hates this” click bait is pretty lame

[@FUBuddy]

they probably actually do not approve, doing this will mar parts, leave scratches and what not that would not happen if you take your time and go by the manual. i just use a small crescent wrench and eyeball it, little trial and error but pretty much everything is first time go

Quad rails work and are strong. The only reason I moved away from them is to reduce the weight. I am a contactor and carry a D20RS which is a Heckler & Koch, HK-416 variant for 10 hour daily. If you want to make your rifle lighter I recommend using MLock as it is superior than Key Mod systems.

[@homersimpson6969]

You are right, the beauty of any language is it can evolve. But just because one person, or a thousand people decide one day to change the meaning of a word through ignorance or defiance, does not make it correct. Here is a link to several misused words that are used every day. And one day if the definition of any word is changed or adjusted, or publicly accepted, so be it.

[@futuresonex]

Before it's BANNED try this other tip that makes it even easier! Use a micro bit driver with the appropriate sized bit rather than a simple Allen key. Most micro bit drivers have a pommel that spins freely. It's really easy to keep pressure on that screw by simply putting that pommel into the palm or your hand while turning it with your fingers.

[@bigred2989]

Why the hell doesn't Magpul put that in the instructions? It would be so much easier to attach things if I knew to try this.

[@TWANGnBANG]

I honestly don't know. Sometimes engineers are better at designing things than using them. :)

[@tonyz2897]

If I had to take a guess, it's because adjusting as you tighten ensures that the final tightening will be done into fresh threadlock compound, not compound that's potentially displaced or stripped off by having the threads pass over it multiple times.

Sometimes? That's basically every engineer ever. Most of them have zero real-world experience with the products they design.

I use this method but first thing I do is grab a driver handle with the proper sized bit. Sure makes for a simpler process. My 'OCD' also prevents me from buying any other M-LOC rails(when I need a 5 slot) but Arisaka 5 slot with 3 fasteners. They don't sound like it but they're even made in the US.😁
