I could be wrong, but that's the way it looks from my engineering experience. Bigger holes, less total material between holes (since the holes are longer, less total posts are needed between the holes), etc. That said, on your points, I do think MLOK looks to be theoretically lighter due to the even greater amount of negative space. Keymod being first to market will certainly make it harder for MLOK to gain traction. so in my amature opinion its money and weight. that's my guess.Įither mounting system is probably more than adequate.

It's going to come down to OUNCES and Dollars. But my guess is that's going to get old quick so it seems they just doubled SKUs on all their MOE parts and will likely make MLOK versions. Perhaps they drew it up so that the top and bottom radii match the tangent of the KM sections.? It does seem unlikely to make the part 1/3rd of a human hair different in center to center and NOT make them compatible by using a different nut.Īdd to that, they show an MOE adapter. They are showing a flat mating section with large rounded corners where KM has a full radius mating face. It does sort of seem that you might be able to put a keymod nut on a MLOK part. Is going to offer two versions of the nut and keep the parts the same.

Is that Magpul not being outright dummies.

They do say it's 'cams' but that's in sheer to the part. It doesn't say it's 20mm exactly, they just kind of imply it.īut, I'm not seeing any mating taper on their T-Nut. It looks to me like the center to center is 20mm on page 5 of the PDF.

Doing a very brief glance at the technical drawings and a quick math calculation, theoretically you could mount an MLok accessory in a keymod slot.
