What size 3 slot or 5 slot for Bren 2 MS pistol 223/556 11"

[sjglaw]

What size 3 or 5  M-lock pick rail will fit the rail space on the side of the pistol ? I want to mount an Olight PL Pro 1500 lumens. I know the light needs at least 1 1/2" of rail. Concerned that the 5 slot might not fit???

You might want to try something like a Magpul M-LOK Cantilever Rail/Light Mount.

Puts the light in front of the hand guard. I have one on my 14 inch version, works great with a Streamlight TLR1 or TLR3.

If you have a ruler handy you can measure the slots on your top 1913 rail, the length of an M-lok slot, and compare those to pictures that show M-lok 1913 rail sections. I doubt a 5 slot will fit.

I ended up using a Thorntail mount attached to the top 1913 rail. Using an M-lok 1913 section on the side just placed the light too far out from the weapon. It started feeling pretty snaggy.

Ron's suggestion might work.

A lot more cost and availability issues, but CZ's 922r kit includes a pretty nice looking M-lok handguard that gives you enough M-lok slots to put rail covers on for heat shielding and is significantly lighter than the stock MS pistol handguard.
