Looking for something similar to my Noveske panels in the MLOK section. Magpul's handstop front index point looks like the money. i think I am going to have to buy two packs to get what I want though and then I'm going to have two of the larger "rear" handstops that I don't really want. Sigh.

Anyone used these? They look slightly bulkier than the Noveske, are they "bulky"?

On slimmer rails they feel good. A little too bulky on larger handguards ... say greater than 1.5 ID.

I've got some and they're texture is more aggressive than I like.

Hmm. Good to know. Some sanding can fix that if I need to.

They're pretty slim overall and fit quite nicely on my SMOS GFY rail. I also agree that they are a bit aggressively textured if you aren't wearing gloves.

You've turned into quite the SMOS Shill. [:D]

I thought the M-Lok hand stop was one piece with a cover? Am I reading incorrectly the OP only wants to use the small part of the handstop?

Looking at it, it looks to me like I can use the front stop and middle parts separately from the huge rear stop.

I would buy another kit and use the second front stop as the rear stop.

Griffin's may be an alternative. Just tossing it out there.

You are correct. The 2 stops can be mounted without the bridge part, the stops mount with screws. The bridge part is used for MOE mount, it's not needed for M-LOK.

Pyzik, Do you need the MLOK version? I have a single Picatinny version I'm not using that can be yours for the low low price of nothing

I wonder if these panels would fit into my Parallax Tactical FFSSR rail slots. I have seen the KAC URX rail covers used on it...Griffin's probably would too

Thanks for the offer but that would require me to put pic rails on an M-LOK rail to use the covers. And I'm not about that life.

I did that on a KeyMod handguard, it works, but not optimal. Adds too much, but I wonder if it would help if I used those new Arisaka lopro pic rail piece.
