11/13/2022 0 Comments Keymod accessories on m lok![]() ![]() Kind of ironic considering both KeyMod (by BCM) and MLOK (by Magpul) originated in the civilian market. The us military choose Mlok and the civilian gun market follows the military unless there's a substantial reason not to, so with how close KeyMod and mloc are I expect within a decade KeyMod accessories will completely disappear. KEYMOD ACCESSORIES ON M LOK FREEDesigned by Magpul Industries as an evolution of the MOE slot system used since 2007, the M-LOK system is being released as a free licensed platform to allow greater compatibility of. Compatible accessories can be mounted to a bracket that locks into those openings. M-LOK is a modular locking accessory mounting system that is a direct attachment method for hard mounting accessories to a negative space mounting point. In other words, M-Lok and KeyMod both have integrated openings machined directly into the hand guard. On the other hand, if you want to use weight as a determining factor, KeyMod is lighter than Mlok (though just barely.kind of like how mloc is stronger, though just barely). Both the KeyMod and M-Lok systems support direct attachment of optics, lasers, flashlights, bipods, and other accessories to a negative space mounting point. Yes, I read the official tests that concluded mlok was better than KeyMod, but that test focused on how hard it was to knock off accessories, was fairly unscientific, and the difference in the test results between the mlok and keymod was basically a rounding error, with Picatinny beating both by a significant margin (which is probably why we see really expensive stuff like optics always on Picatinny) The success of this system has led to Picatinny rail sections being the industry standard for most upper receivers and handguards. The difference between Mlok and keymod is tiny. Both work great, keep in mind that the industry in a whole is not really gonna offer keymod accessories very much longer and most companies have stopped producing keymod handguards. Home Grips / Stocks / Handguards Handguard Accessories The Picatinny rail system was implemented in 1995 as the new standard mounting system for the US Army. ![]() Ally guns (real and airsoft) use Picatinny. I prefer Picatinny for the better retention and flexibility in where accessories are placed. ![]()
