- Low-profile M-LOK index point for consistent, repeatable hand placement
- Acts as a forward hand stop to keep hands away from hot muzzle
- Aggressive TSP texture ensures a secure, non-slip grip in all conditions
- Kit includes Hand Stop, M-LOK Index Panel, and Rail Cover Type 2
- Adapter included for polymer and wider aluminum M-LOK handguards
- Made in the USA from durable, high-strength polymer construction
Who This Is For
This kit is ideal for AR-15 and AR-10 owners who run M-LOK-compatible handguards and want a safer, more controlled shooting experience — whether on the range, in competition, or in a home defense role. Shooters who prefer a thumb-over-bore or C-clamp grip will especially benefit from the hand stop's ability to anchor the support hand and prevent dangerous forward creep toward the muzzle or front sight assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Magpul MAG608 Hand Stop Kit fit my handguard?
The MAG608 is designed to mount directly to any M-LOK compatible handguard slot. The included adapter extends compatibility to both standard aluminum M-LOK handguards and wider-profile polymer M-LOK forends, making it a highly versatile fit for most modern AR-15 and AR-10 platforms. Always verify that your handguard features genuine M-LOK slots before purchasing.
What is the difference between the Hand Stop, Index Panel, and Rail Cover included in the kit?
The Hand Stop is the primary component — it protrudes slightly from the handguard to physically stop the support hand from sliding forward toward the muzzle. The M-LOK Index Panel is a flatter, lower-profile option that provides a tactile reference point without as much protrusion, ideal for those who want subtle indexing. The Rail Cover Type 2 fills unused M-LOK slots to protect them and provide a smooth, comfortable surface along the handguard.
Is this hand stop considered a vertical foregrip under California law?
The Magpul M-LOK Hand Stop (MAG608) is a hand stop, not a vertical foregrip. Its low-profile design is specifically intended to index the hand rather than provide a full vertical grip. However, firearm laws can be complex and subject to change — we always recommend consulting with a qualified firearms attorney or your local law enforcement agency to confirm compliance with California regulations as they apply to your specific firearm configuration.
