The Magpul M-LOK Picatinny Cantilever Rail Section is a lightweight, polymer mounting solution that extends your M-LOK rail system forward to optimize accessory placement on modern combat rifles and modern sporting rifles. Built from reinforced polymer, this cantilever rail section mounts directly to any M-LOK compatible surface on handguards and forends—aluminum or polymer—and gives you Picatinny rail real estate where you need it most. If you're running lights, lasers, or other rail-mounted gear, this spacer keeps them positioned lower and further forward for better ergonomics and a lower overall profile than traditional mounting.

What makes this cantilever worth the addition: the rail extends 0.75" to 1.5" forward of the M-LOK mount point, giving you tactical flexibility to dial in exactly where your light or optic sits. The beveled corners and edges won't snag gear or your fingers, and the impact-mitigation lugs built into the polymer help manage recoil transmission. All mounting hardware is included—you don't need to hunt down M-LOK T-nuts or fasteners separately. The three MIL-STD-1913 slots accept standard Picatinny-spec accessories, and the design is compatible with popular Surefire Scout Light platforms (M300/M600 series) and Magpul's own Light Mount V-Block systems.

Made in the U.S.A., this rail section tips the scales lightly compared to aluminum alternatives, making it a smart choice if you're building a carbine or DMR where every ounce counts. Whether you're outfitting a competition gun, a hunting rifle with night-vision capability, or a duty rifle, this cantilever rail opens up mounting positions that a single run of M-LOK handguard can't always reach.
