Shorter bolts for MagPul M-lok attachments
Does anyone know if MagPul offers shorter bolts for their M-lok attachments?
I have a free floated barrel with a slimline metal handguard that fits close enough when I put a quick detach sling anchor in the screws contact the barrel. I know, Lowe’s but Lowe’s fasteners don’t come blued or with the baby shit colored loctite.

I had to do that with some screws for a scope mount, recently. They were bottoming out and not giving a tight mount. But I used a hand file. Took some time - one or two strokes at a time, test, repeat until they tightened down properly.
Doesn't make the job any easier with my eyes getting old and the screws being so tiny to begin with. Think I'm going to need one of those bench mounted magnifiers to do precision work with.
