This video is by far the best explanation of how to make M-Lok installation work in a relatively easy way. This is a lot less complicated than all the other videos that other people have posted. This helps a lot of people.
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.
MAGPUL WANTS THIS VIDEO BANNED (POLICE CALLED)(GONE SEXUAL) ... and see what happen next. Epic! must see. You won't believe your eyes. Click now and buy!!
Brother, I gotta tell ya...if you were east of Raleigh last night you would have known I was having a go at my first MLOK accessory installation. LOL!!! But then I found your excellent video, and I can't thank you enough. I can only imagine this instructional gem of a production has saved countless new MLOK purchasers from busting an aneurysm. Sir, you are appreciated!!!
Good video. I just bought my first M-Lok rifle and I really was a little confused when I got it (yep, I just turned 60). I carried a modified A2, M-14 or M40. "Never Forget Beirut" !
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.
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.
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.
bob smith No kidding: With President What's his face, they were floating the idea that you would need to bring your firearm to a ATF licensed gunsmith for any work done, even what's in this video. And fill out another background check when you pick it up of course.
That's how I did it the first time I tried. Never bothered with Magpull instructions for something so self explanatory. When I saw this video I kept watching waiting for the hack lol
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.
This popped back up on my Recommendations and I had to watch it again. Can’t like it twice so I’ll just leave a Thank You. I hope T&B is doing well I these C19 times. God bless brother
Just added an MLOK Hand Grip and attached my first accessory to it quickly an easily thanks to your tips. I saved this video for future reference, though I think I'll remember. Thank you!
It is in the directions. Crap videos like this are why I can't take this guy serious. "Magpul hates this hack" it's literally in their directions to do this
It is now, but the original instructions that were the only instructions at the time of this video were quite different. Any guess as to why the instructions now say to do this method that I clearly demonstrate on video? lol
TWANGnBANG I haven't watched one of your videos in a while, but laughed when I saw that so figured I would watch it. but yea most of my spam says weird trick lol
Chip Hardee it's a way for people to click on the link. everyone's doing it and it works. at least his info is good info. just part of thing youtubers must do to keep up
Man,just bought my 1st ar and looked at the mloc sheet and thought what the hell.they really should have people who use the product make the instructions.always found engineers can find a harder way to do the simplest thing.found your vid 15 min.after I figured it out.still enjoyed it.thank you.
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
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!
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
That's cool. I still have quad rails on one AR, Keymod on another. There is no magic unicorn. Some people get so hung up on the hype they cannot contain themselves.
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.
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.😁
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.
I am new to mounting accessories to M-Lock, so this hack has been VERY helpful!! I don’t understand the frustration in the comment section though. The other videos I’ve watched, they did it a totally different way...I like this way better.
This is the only way that makes any sense to install the T-nuts and I;ve been doing it since M-lok came out. Why would "Magpul hate this"??? Nie click-bate title.
Took me almost four minutes to realize it's meant to be comedic. You're too accurate to what firearm channels are actually like these days- you were two years ahead!
I never read the instructions. Glad I didn't realize that I was doing it "wrong." Some things are self evident. Nice to see someone else figured it out. 😋
Very useful video. What seemed like an easy install involved some fiddling before I found this. After it not feeling as tight as I wanted I kinda figured this trick accidentally. Thought I may have stripped my new foregrip!
This isn't a hack. This should be part of the standard instructions on how to install M-lok. P.S. The word Hack is misused and overly used incorrectly. This is one of those times. I still love your channel.
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. But to continue to use words incorrectly only shows ignorance. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/the-58-most-commonly-misused-words-and-phrases-a6754551.html
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.
I thought this was the standard way to install M-Lok accessories? I haven't read Magpul's instructions, only instructions that come with the accessory itself. Also this is how my local gunsmith explains to customers how to install it. Hmmm... common sense people? Good video nonetheless.
Hi I'm Magpul and I hate this trick I absolutely hate this trick I wanted to be dissolved I wanted to be hung I wanted to be shot I hate this trick I can't stand it!!!!
No longer will I dread mounting M-Lok devices. I had two of them mounted within five minutes and even mounted one upside down, then removed it and reattached it correctly still within the five minutes. Thank you sir.
Keymod AND M-Lok are garbage. Quad rails work exponentially better than either, and the only "con" to them is the "cheese grater" nonsense that anyone who has actually used them knows to be false.
You can use a 7 mm open end wrench on the T-nut rather than the Crescent wrench or pliers. Neat trick, BTW. Recently I needed to cut one screw to the minimum length to get it to turn into place between the gas block and handguard's flats for a bipod stud mount. It cleared by a whisker. I put the screw in a vice and cut it using a Dremel & cutting wheel.
I don't know why Magpul would hate this vid. I thought for sure it would be clickbait. I was pleasantly surprised to find this was a very informative, and to the point tip! Thanks!
You can put a small piece of electrical tape at the end of the thread right where it rotates freely that way it doesn’t back itself all the way out at the same time marking the spot.
You can also just start the nut insert it like he did and just start tightening until it stops turning on the nut side and your go to go. No need to tighten all the way, loosen and retighten. This work the same as the hilti spring nuts I use daily on c channel iron work lol! Everything is so complicated these days!!!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you. I have a 1 piece hand guard where I can't get to the back of it. I was at this for over an hour. After this video, got it perfect 1st try in 10 secs. Thanks again.
People ragging on this instructional video, but I'm thankful for it. I'm mounting something for the first time and the only other video I've seen on how to do this was way more complicated and stupid.
The complicated and stupid way was what the original instructions were, which is why I made this video in the first place. It seems that Magpul as since changed the instructions to be more like what I show.
I hope I don’t sound like I am showing off but I had spare curtain pole latches which I sawed the straight parts off then screwed them on to my air pistol, I put one on the bottom for my laser and one on top for my sight scope and it worked but I have ordered a M-Lok Aluminum Rail Mount Handguard so I will use this video when it arrives although I don’t have any issues i am sure it will look better with the add on mounts.
This video is by far the best explanation of how to make M-Lok installation work in a relatively easy way. This is a lot less complicated than all the other videos that other people have posted. This helps a lot of people.
Glad it helped!

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

or you could just go with keymod and not screw around with this...

Doug Castetter. precisely
For sure go with key mod... I mean who wouldn’t want their accessories to fall off when bumped 🤦🏻♂️
Keymod is garbage

You can use a 7 mm open end wrench on the T-nut rather than the Crescent wrench or pliers. Neat trick, BTW.

I put the screw in a vice and cut it using a Dremel & cutting wheel.

Now that's a nice trick...makes it effortless!! Thanks.
You’d think Magpul would love that your sharing how to make their rail system easier to use.
In the time I took you just to adjust the T-nut I could have completely mounted a keymod accessory.
You can put a small piece of electrical tape at the end of the thread right where it rotates freely that way it doesn’t back itself all the way out at the same time marking the spot.
This video made my install quick and easy. Thanks 👍🏾
You can also just start the nut insert it like he did and just start tightening until it stops turning on the nut side and your go to go. No need to tighten all the way, loosen and retighten.

1st time gun owner as of 2 days. I'm learning.
thanks for teaching me this. I recently installed a rail and this would have been useful to know before
People ragging on this instructional video, but I'm thankful for it. I'm mounting something for the first time and the only other video I've seen on how to do this was way more complicated and stupid.
The complicated and stupid way was what the original instructions were, which is why I made this video in the first place. It seems that Magpul as since changed the instructions to be more like what I show.
@@TWANGnBANG well thanks man, that was easy!
The best video for Mounting m-lock… thanks
I hope I don’t sound like I am showing off but I had spare curtain pole latches which I sawed the straight parts off then screwed them on to my air pistol, I put one on the bottom for my laser and one on top for my sight scope and it worked but I have ordered a M-Lok Aluminum Rail Mount Handguard so I will use this video when it arrives although I don’t have any issues i am sure it will look better with the add on mounts.
Thank you!!! You just saved me from high blood pressure 😂
