Description
The Magpul M-LOK Cantilever Rail/Light Mount is a straightforward solution for shooters who want to run a white light or a Picatinny-compatible accessory on an M-LOK handguard without committing to a full-length rail section. Made in the USA from polymer, it mounts directly into any M-LOK slot on either aluminum or polymer handguards and forends, so it works across a wide range of platforms without adapters or additional hardware.
The cantilever geometry is the key design choice here. The Picatinny slots extend forward past the M-LOK attachment point, which shifts an attached light or accessory ahead of where a flush rail section would place it. That forward offset can improve illumination coverage and keeps bulk closer to the muzzle rather than mid-handguard. The mount is cut to interface directly with SureFire M300 and M600 series Scout Lights, as well as the Magpul Light Mount V-Block and Rings, so those pairings drop in without shimming or improvised fitment.
Beveled edges and corners reduce the chance of the mount snagging on gear during handling or while working around barriers — a practical consideration on a light mount that sits outboard of the handguard. All mounting hardware for M-LOK installation is included in the package. The polymer construction keeps weight down, which matters when the mount is carrying a light that already adds to the overall balance of the rifle. For a shooter running a Scout-style light on an M-LOK-equipped carbine, this mount handles the attachment efficiently without unnecessary complexity.
