MOE > Olight chinese crap MOE handguards are legitimate Mlok. Olight is apparently counterfeit, not true Mlok compatible. |

All your other mlok attachments work with that moe handguard though?
Magpul used to make an moe that used proprietary mounting hardware, I'm 99% sure. Looks like mlok, but isn't. |

Did you get the MOE hand guard that has m-lok slots or MOE slots? There is a difference.

Magpul MOE does not automatically equal M-LOK. Start there.

Magpul makes a kit that converts the early MOE to Mlok compatible.

Before we dry-probe OP, he may have bought the one olight that has a 45* mount and that may be the angle the is talking about.

I don't know why my MLOK rail won't attach to the MOE stock.

Mlok and MOE are not the same. IIRC Magpul is still making the MOE light mount kit that they originally designed for the ACR with the basic handguard.
Most people who still use them have Mlok handguards on their ACRs though |

Be cautious purchasing MLOK MOE handguards if you see the packaging has already been opened.
I ordered a new MLOK Magpul handguard from a well-respected vender to upgrade from the original 1st-gen MOE I bought years ago. I received an MLOK product box that had been previously opened. Inside was a handguard with MOE slots. Someone had apparently ordered the new MLOK handguard from the vender, put their old MOE handguard back inside the packaging, and then probably returned the package to the vender for a refund. Slick little scam that would be very tough to catch. It wasn't the vender's fault, so I ended up just ordering another handguard and kept the MOE as a freebie giveaway in case I ran across someone in need of an upgrade. |

You guys might want to read where op posted the link to his olight model.
It's not that he bought MOE, it's the angle of the olight mount. |

Seems like this is a completely different issue. Moe-vs-Mlok aside (he already established it IS the later Mlok verson of the MOE). And Olight aside as well... I figure even if he bought a non-olight mount that works similarly, (like the Travis Haley brand one), it still wouldn't work with the MOE handguards.

It works you just have to flip the cams over and use a needle nose to hold them while tightening. Best to take off the locktite first.
Did this with an 870 moe handguard and an mlok pic rail. |
