There are many benefits to mounting a scope on an MLOK rail. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is the increased accuracy that a scope can provide. In addition to increased accuracy, a scope can also provide a much higher level of magnification than iron sights, making it easier to hit small or distant targets.
Scopes can also be fitted with a variety of different reticles (the crosshair or dot pattern that you see when looking through the scope) which can be extremely helpful in a variety of different shooting situations. Overall, mounting a scope on an MLOK rail is a great way to improve the accuracy and versatility of your rifle.
Tools You May Use
Let’s Know Disassembly Process
To disassemble an MLOK rail, you will need a few tools. First, you will need a drill and a drill bit that is the same size as the screws that come with your scope. Next, you will need a screwdriver that fits the screws. Finally, you will need a pair of pliers.With the tools gathered, start by attaching the scope to the rail using the screws. Be sure to not overtighten the screws, as this can damage the scope. Once the screws are tight, use the drill to make pilot holes in the rail. These pilot holes will make it easier to attach the scope to the rail.Finally, use the pliers to twist the screws into the pilot holes. Be sure to not overtighten the screws, as this can damage the rail. With the screws tight, your scope should be securely mounted to the rail.
Let’s Discuss Step by Step in Below
1. First, remove the top rail covers from your M-LOK handguard.
To remove the top rail covers on your M-LOK handguard, first remove the screws that hold them in place. Then, slide the covers off of the rails. Be careful not to lose the screws, as they are small and can be easily misplaced. With the covers off, you will now have access to the mounting screws for your scope.
2. Next, use a T-15 Torx driver to remove the two screws that hold the M-LOK rail in place.
If you’re looking to add a scope to your M-LOK rail, there are a few things you need to do. First, you’ll need to remove the two screws that hold the M-LOK rail in place. Next, use a T-15 Torx driver to remove the two screws that hold the M-LOK rail in place. Finally, use a small amount of Loctite on the screws and reinstall them.
3. With the rail removed, it’s now time to mount your scope.
A hex key set will do to loosen and tighten screws. You may also need a small hammer to get the rings seated in the right spot on the rail.
Start by attaching the rings to the scope. Once they are hand-tight, use the hex keys to tighten them down. Make sure they are tight, but don’t overdo it. Next, line up the scope with the rail. Start with the rear ring, and get it seated in the rail. Then do the same with the front ring. Again, hand-tighten the screws.
Finally, use the hex keys to tighten down the screws. Once they are tight, your scope should be securely mounted on the rail.
4. Begin by attaching the scope base to the rail using the provided screws.
Attach the scope base to the rail using the provided screws. Make sure the screws are tight to avoid the scope becoming loose over time. Next, attach the scope rings to the base. Once again, make sure the screws are tight. Now you can mount the scope onto the rings. Finally, adjust the scope until it is properly aligned.
5. Once the base is secure, you can now attach your scope rings.
There are a few different ways to attach scope rings to an M-Lok rail, but the most common is to use T-nuts. T-nuts have a threaded hole in the center that accepts a screw, and they also have a flange on the bottom that sits flush against the rail. To install a T-nut, simply insert it into a slot on the rail and tighten the screw until it’s snug. Once the T-nut is in place, you can now attach your scope rings.
6. With the rings in place, simply insert your scope into the rings and tighten them down.
With the rings in place, simply insert your scope into the rings and tighten them down. Once the rings are tight, your scope should be firmly mounted to the rail and ready for use. If you find that your scope is not sitting level in the rings, you can adjust the tension on the rings until it is level.
7. That’s it! You’ve now successfully mounted a scope to your M-LOK handguard.
That’s it! You’ve now successfully mounted a scope to your M-LOK handguard. The process is simple and only requires a few tools. With the right tools and a little bit of patience, you can easily mount a scope to your M-LOK handguard. Thanks for choosing M-LOK!

However, some general tips on mounting a scope on an MLOK rail include making sure that the rail is properly aligned with the scope base, using shims or spacers to achieve a snug fit, and using appropriate scope rings or mounts that are compatible with the rail system.
What are some tips for mounting a scope on an MLOK rail?
Some tips for mounting a scope on an MLOK rail include making sure the rail is properly aligned with the receiver, using shims to ensure a tight fit, and using T-nuts and screws to secure the rail to the receiver.
What are some things to avoid when mounting a scope on an MLOK rail?
Some things to avoid when mounting a scope on an MLOK rail are:
-Using the wrong size screws
-Not using a level
-Forgetting to tighten the screws
-Not using Loctite
What is the best height for mounting a scope on an MLOK rail?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the type of scope, the size of the objective lens, the height of the rail, and the shooter’s preference. In general, however, most shooters prefer to mount their scope as high as possible on the rail to maximize the field of view and to reduce the risk of the scope being damaged by the gun’s recoil.
What is the best forward offset for mounting a scope on an MLOK rail?
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the type of scope being used, the size and weight of the scope, the intended use of the rifle, and the shooter’s personal preferences. In general, however, most shooters prefer to mount their scope as far forward on the rail as possible in order to maintain a proper balance between the scope and the rifle.
What is the best way to level a scope when mounting on an MLOK rail?
There is no definitive answer to this question as there are many different ways to level a scope when mounting on an MLOK rail. Some methods include using a bubble level, using a laser level, or using a leveler tool specifically designed for scopes. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide what method works best for them.
Caution
When mounting a scope on an MLOK rail, it is important to take caution in order to avoid damaging the rail or the scope. It is recommended to use a dedicated MLOK rail mounted scope base or ring in order to avoid over-tightening and damaging the rail. When mounting the scope, make sure that the screws are tight enough so that the scope does not move but not too tight so as to strip the threads or damage the rail.
Final Word
There are a few things to keep in mind when mounting a scope on an MLOK rail. First, make sure the rail is the correct size for the scope. Second, use a good quality scope mount. Third, make sure the rail is securely mounted to the rifle. Fourth, make sure the scope is properly aligned with the bore. Fifth, make sure the scope is properly secured to the rail. Sixth, make sure the rail is properly lubricated. Seventh, make sure the rail is free of debris. Eighth, make sure the rail is not damaged. Ninth, make sure the rail is not bent. Tenth, make sure the rail is not loose.
