Description

The Kinect™ by KDG for M-LOK™ is a revolutionary QD mounting system that will change the way we attach accessories to our modular weapons platforms. Much like the Sidelok™ for Picatinny attachment, Kinect™ insures proper and easy installation, eliminating common variables that would cause issues.(ie: over tightening) Although revolutionary, Kinect™ is quite simple in its operation. There are two spring-loaded wedges in the base of the Kinect™ mounting point. When you press the accessory or rail section down in the M-LOK™ slot, two tiny deployment triggers get pressed against the rail firing the wedges into place. There is nothing more frustrating that fiddling with an allen wrench (if you can find it) to get your accessories on an off your weapon with traditional modular rail sections. This changes the whole dynamic of the M-LOK™ system and really makes every accessory truly removable with the ability to mount it in a second when needed.

NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS:

**NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE AS A BIPOD ATTACHMENT POINT ON CALIBERS LARGER THAN .308 and certain bolt action firearms. Due to loading the Bipod, the QD Kinect system can come loose from recoil.***

***Please Note: The Kinect system was designed and manufactured to the original specifications set by Magpul Industries for a rail thickness of .080″ and .125″ thick. The current specifications for M-LOK are a thickness of .080 to .150″ as many of the polymer M-LOK products on the market have to be thicker to support glass filled polymer rail systems. Therefore we do not suggest, nor can guarantee our KINECT product will work on these polymer products. Polymer rails can be modified to work, but our Kinect system was intended for use on precision machined aluminum rails within the specification of .080″ to .125″ overall thickness. With the variable tolerences that polymer parts are capable of, it is not suggested you buy Kinect QD M-LOK mounts unless you are sure the rail is within the specification, or you are able to modify your rail to fit the Kinect system. Measure the thickness of your polymer rails before ordering. If you have purchased a Kinect piece and it will not work with the poylmer or other thicker after market M-LOK accessories, we do offer a 30 day return policy for store credit on purchases. We will make sure you get taken care of!

***The Kinect Pieces are made fully assembled from the factory and not intended to be disassembled by the end user. Because these are mechanical items, all kinect pieces are tested multiple times at the factory to insure they work properly and are securely mounted onto M-LOK rails. So if you see marks of use on your new Kinect piece, do not worry, that is the factory test marks. Since the M-LOK system has varying tolerances, each Kinect piece may attached differently to each different manufacturers rail. (ie: thicker rails, thinner rails, rails of different materials) Kinect was designed to work with the full range of M-LOK accessories on the market. If you have any issues with your Kinect piece, contact us right away so we can fix the issue for you! Info@kineticdg.com

7 Slot Mlok Rails

M-LOK, standing for Modular Lock, is a free licensed^[1]firearmrail interface system developed and patented by Magpul Industries.

M-LOK allows for direct accessory attachment onto the 'negative space' (hollow slot) mounting points, and is a competing standard to VLTOR's open sourcedKeyMod system for replacing the ubiquitous Picatinny rail in some applications.^[2] Compared to the Picatinny rail system, both M-LOK and KeyMod enable the user to have a slimmer, lighter, smoother and more fenestratedhandguard/fore-end with accessories mounted only where needed, whereas a Picatinny handguards typically will have rail slots for its whole length resulting in a heavier and bulkier handguard with sharp edges and poorer barrel ventilation.

The M-LOK system can be seen as an evolution of the Magpul Original Equipment (MOE) system, but the two are not fully compatible. Though newer M-LOK accessories can be used on older MOE slot handguards if an adaptor plate is used, there is no adaptor available for using older MOE accessories on the newer M-LOK handguards.

History[edit]

A prototype of the MOE slot was revealed by Magpul in late 2007 together with their Masada Concept Rifle (which would later be known as the Adaptive Combat Rifle). The MOE slot system was released by Magpul in 2009 as a feature on their MOE handguards, and at the same time compatible accessories such as Picatinny rail sections, direct MOE mounted light mounts, grips, bipod studs, etc. were released.

The MOE slot standard was never officially released, and a drawback to the system was that the rear side of the panel had to be accessed in order to mount accessories, limiting its application. The MOE slot system uses a weld nut which has to be placed manually on the inside of the handguard before mounting, making the slot system unsuited for applications such as free-floating handguards. Also, depending on the accessory item, the spacing increments between the MOE slots were not small or uniform enough to adjust the desired placement of accessories.

Acknowledging shortcomings of the MOE systems, Magpul drafted M-LOK as a new and improved mounting standard which was released in 2014 replacing the existing MOE slot. The M-LOK rail specification included metric dimensions instead of imperial, and utilizes a T-slot nut capable of only 90-degree rotation, reinforced by thread-locking fluid, making it suited for applications on free-floating handguards. It was designed to work with both metal and polymer parts.

In 2016, Colt Canada developed and released the Modular Rail Rifle (MRR) that uses a monolithic upper receiver with the M-LOK attachment system.^[3] In 2017, several companies produce M-LOK handguards as well as accessories like Picatinny rail strips, vertical foregrips, bipods, sling adaptors, and flashlight mounts.^[4]

In 2017, a summary report of testing conducted by NSWC-Crane for USSOCOM indicated that, while comparable in endurance and rough handling testing, M-Lok greatly outperformed Keymod in repeatability, drop testing and failure load testing.^[5]

Licensing[edit]

While M-LOK is free licensed, it is not open source, and thus manufacturers must acquire a license from Magpul before making products using the M-LOK standard. Magpul claims this gives them more control in assuring that all M-LOK products are made to specifications ensuring compatibility. Program participation is open to any interested manufacturer.

Technical specifications[edit]

Rail specifications[edit]

The slot dimensions (used on handguards, etc.) are available on the web.^[6] The slots provide metric 20 mm (0.79 in) length intervals, and accessories can be mounted either within a slot or bridging between slots, making it possible to adjust the position of accessories in smaller intervals than the length of the slot. The slots on an M-Lok handguard are approximately 32 mm (1.260 in) long and 7 mm (0.276 in) wide and space 8 mm (0.315 in) from each other. The radius of the corners is approximately 2.38 mm (0.094 in).^[7][8][9]

Attachment specifications[edit]

The quarter-turn T-slot nuts have different torque specifications depending on the handguard material:

• 4.0 N⋅m (35 lb⋅in) for attaching metal accessories to metal handguards.
• 1.7 N⋅m (15 lb⋅in) for attaching polymer or metal accessories to polymer handguards.
• 1.7 N⋅m (15 lb⋅in) for attaching polymer accessories to metal handguards.

Attachment screws made by many U.S. manufacturers are often either #8-32 TPI or 10-24 TPI UNC threads, which respectively have major thread diameters of 0.1640 inches and 0.1900 inches (4.166-0.794 mm and 4.826-1.058 mm expressed in metric designation). Many M-LOK screws on the international market instead use either M4 or M5 metric threads to reduce cost.

The tool required for mounting, in addition to the thread size, also depends the screw head type. Hex keys are used extensively in the firearms industry, but metric and imperial hex keys as a general rule are not compatible. It is possible damage the tool and screw by selecting a tool that is too small for the fastener, which can be done by using an Imperial/customary tool on a metric fastener, or the converse. An exception to this is 4 mm hex keys, which are almost the exact same size as ⁵⁄₃₂ in (3.97 mm). In many industries, this makes 4.0 mm (⁵⁄₃₂ in) hex keys preferred for consumer products because end users can successfully use an imperial key on a metric fastener, and vice versa.

7 Inch Mlok Handguard

While screw and slot dimensions are available on the web, the T-slot nut dimensions are currently under review by the US State Department to determine whether it should be regulated by ITAR, and until it is clarified drawings are only available to US citizens.
