I want to be able to have a flush M-Lok rail on the underside of the forearm of a stock I was designing.
I found very few sources for them and out of stock much of the time. Well I figure I will just make my own.
Here is some photos showing the my steps to making them.
Sheet material fixtured for first op.
Drill holes and counter sink them.
Next OP add some screws to hold the material down as milling out the slots starts, slow and steady wins the race with an 1/8" diameter cutter.
Slots all cut, next OP is cutting the outer profiles.
Walla M-Lok Rails, All that is left is to finish them...lol
Deburred and in the vibratory bowl to try and polish them some. It was a fail. The bowl is too small and they ended up like a bad game of pickup sticks as they interlocked through the slots. Hand polish it will be.
