Photo of First Magpul M-LOK Equipped Rifle

So who built the first AR to feature the new Magpul M-LOK accessory attachment mount? Why, Hodge Defense Systems Inc of course!

Hodge Defense M-LOK

This M-LOK equipped AU MOD-1 made its public debut at last week’s NRA Annual Meeting.

    IDK if its just me but im not a fan, having to buy little pieces of rail only to screw them onto a rail to mount said items onto a rail system seems a little overkill….I like magpul stuff but not this…

      I too am not a fan of having to add rail to mount whatever. I use a drop-in guard from Diamondhead on my carbine because their mount points on the guard are threaded (no nut needed for the fastener). So, I screw in stuff directly (stud for a Harris bipod, and a slightly modified Magpul MVG) at 6 o’ clock.

    We have 17 direct-connect accessories in the works, some coming out very soon, some a little later on in the year. The idea is NOT to add rails and then bolt things onto the rails.

      Sounds good Jon, but then wouldn’t you agree that the launch of this was a little premature? Also, what does the user use to protect their hands from heat? will their be a grip system that can be place on it to protect from heat?

    I wouldn’t say it’s premature at all. The spec is out there for any interested manufacturer to start building on, and for the consumer to become educated on. M-LOK was a Magpul program, but the intent was to provide an easy to manufacture and design attachment standard that works across a broad spectrum of materials and applications for the industry, and provide it at no cost. In the very near future, you will be able to buy a non-Magpul rail and put non-Magpul acessories on it. The first step in making that happen was to get it out there for everyone to use.

    It looks a little like a Geiselle handguard. I’d say they REALLY missed the bus by not making it Keymod… Will purchase one though before I make any real judgement calls.
