I found it interesting also Brian. I really did not know the difference between Key Mod and M Lock. I kind of like the Key Mod but do have some M Locks.
M Lock attachments are kind of a pain to put on but let me find the video showing some install tips. |

M-LOK Mounting Hack! Magpul Hates This Trick

O.K. I am not saying the Key Mod is easier to install or better but I just found the Key Mod so much simpler. Video show just back it off a bit and tighten and your all set? I always have to take a long screw driver and turn the damn inside nut to align properly. Key Mod for me. |

Flatten an end of a wire coat-hanger and a 90 degree bend with a rounded handle would work for that.

The best invention for sights was the Picatinny rail system. Oh my God our nice old rifles having to have a smith or if your talented do it yourself and drill for scope mounts. Pain in the ass. Nahhhh. February 3, 1995 the Picatinny Rail came out. it. This was Mil-STD-1913, dated February 3, 1995. The only significant difference between the Picatinny rail and the similar Weaver rail are the size and shapes of the slots, where the Picatinny rail has square-bottomed slots while Weaver rails have rounded slots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picatinny_rail |
