When it comes to running your rifle, we tend to focus on two things. Speed and accuracy. While many factors are at play, recoil is one of our most significant adversaries. The ability to manage the recoil of our rifle is often the difference between success and failure. The techniques we use with our rifle are important, but equally so is the hardware we use. Now, Mapul has introduced a group of M-LOK Handguard Recoil Mitigating Accessories.

M-LOK Thumb Shelf
The ambidextrous M-LOK Thumb Shelf increases muzzle control and support-hand consistency to get back on target faster. This improves follow-up shot speed. The shelf features a ribbed, curved top for improved thumb contact during recoil. As a result, it offers better muzzle control, and provides assistance when braced against a barrier. It is designed for octagonal M-LOK handguards or forends. Additionally, it is molded from Magpul’s proprietary polymer.

M-LOK SVG – Short Vertical Grip
The M-LOK SVG (Short Vertical Grip) is a lightweight, compact, ambidextrous grip that attaches to any M-LOK-compatible, octagonal aluminum handguard or forend. The side panels feature Trapezoidal Surface Projections (TSP) texture for positive control. Additionally, the front and rear straps are serrated for additional grip.

M-LOK Index Stop
The minimalist ½-slot M-LOK Index Stop is a small hand stop. It is primarily for the index finger as a reference point to maximize protection, comfort, and grip for the support hand. This is achieved by decreasing the risk of muzzling the support hand. The Index Stop has a ridged texture on the front and rear surfaces. Additionally, it is built to the same dimensions (⅛ʺ protrusion from the rail surface) as Magpul Type 2 M-LOK Rail Covers for seamless integration.
