The Low-Profile M-LOK and KeyMod Flashlight Mount is a direct rail mount that sits flush against the underside or side of a handguard and holds a scout-pattern flashlight close to the rail. Unlike cantilever mounts that extend a Picatinny rail forward of the handguard, or offset mounts that angle the light to one side, this mount keeps the flashlight parallel and tight to the rail. The four-position system: The body has four threaded mounting positions for the flashlight retention screws, spaced along the 84 mm length. The forwardmost slot pushes the light toward the muzzle, the rearmost pulls it back toward the receiver, and the two middle positions split the difference. The mount stays bolted to the same handguard slot no matter which light position is chosen. The slim flush profile is the strongest case for this design over a cantilever or offset mount. On short to mid-length handguards where every millimeter of rail counts, keeping the light directly against the rail leaves more room for hand stops, grips, and other rail accessories. It is less suited to builds where the user wants the light angled to the support-hand side, where an offset or angled mount is the better fit.
