What is the best way to mount your rifle? You saw it floating. You asked how. Now it’s time to show it. The StealthMount by HangAR started as a beta concept, and after three versions and a lot of feedback, it’s finally ready. It mounts to your M-LOK, doubles as a hand stop, and hangs your rifle with zero drama. Ran it hard. No slip, no flex, no B.S.


TL;DR – Quick Facts About the StealthMount by HangAR

  • M-LOK mounted for rock-solid grip on your rifle
  • Slides on/off a base plate that stays on the gun
  • Doubles as a hand stop when not on the wall
  • Optional lock screw secures it for permanent display
  • Wall installs with screws or anchors into studs or drywall
  • Works with existing HangAR peg systems
  • Magnetic and slat wall options available for safes and modular rooms

What makes the StealthMount different?

Most wall mounts grip barrels or handguards, risking scratches or misalignment. HangAR did it smarter. The StealthMount secures directly to M-LOK without touching critical surfaces. The bracket slides onto a mounted plate—zero rattle, no tools required for removal unless you use the set screw.

We teased it during its beta phase, and after running three prototypes on our wall, this final version is clean, secure, and modular.

  • Mounting plate bolts to M-LOK
  • Display arm slides on/off plate
  • Set screw locks it in if needed

It’s minimal when off the wall and functional when on the rifle—doubling as a hand stop.


How do you install the StealthMount on the rifle?

  1. Pick a clean M-LOK slot.
    Mount it away from lights, lasers, or vertical grips. Mid-handguard works best.
  2. Use the included hardware.
    Drop in the M-LOK nuts, line up the plate, and tighten it down with a standard Allen key.
  3. Slide on the wall bracket.
    It clicks into place using a low-profile dovetail system. Add the screw if you want full retention.
  4. Use the base as a hand stop.
    If the bracket’s off, you still get indexing value during drills or storage.

How do you mount it to the wall?

  1. Use a stud or wall anchor.
    The included screws are fine for studs. For drywall, grab some heavy-duty anchors.
  2. Level it. Mark your holes. Drill.
    This mount deserves clean lines. A level and pilot bit go a long way.
  3. Attach the HangAR peg or base.
    Standard Phillips or drill driver works.
  4. Slide on your rifle.
    That’s it. It sits flush with the wall and can’t be bumped off accidentally.
  5. Secure with the screw.
    Want a permanent display? Tighten the rear screw and lock it in.

What else works with the system?

  • Uses existing HangAR pegs — If you already have their kit, it’s plug-and-play.
  • Magnetic mounts — Safe-ready versions with no drilling required.
  • Slat wall kits — Ideal for full room displays or organized workbenches.
  • No adapter needed for M-LOK — One plate fits most handguards.

We’ve even seen people mount these sideways, under desks, and behind doors. It’s that versatile.


Real-World Testing – Multiple Calibers, Multiple Platforms

We tested this setup across:

  • AR-15s chambered in .223
  • AR-10s with .308
  • .300 Blackout rigs
  • A bolt-action rifle with an M-LOK chassis

Mounted. Removed. Repeated. The interface held zero wiggle and never showed signs of wear. We even left one installed over a month and checked torque—no backing out, no sag.

Personal testing backs this up. As seen in our own video, the rifles appear to float with zero shift, sag, or print. No barrel scuffs, no plastic flex. We even used the setup to showcase builds in a public-facing gun shop display—zero failure across multiple mounts and months of testing.


Built for People Who Actually Use Their Rifles

A lot of gear looks good on Instagram but falls flat when it meets real-world use. That’s not what this is.

I tested the StealthMount on several rifles—ARs in .223, .308, and .300 Blackout. Even mounted a bolt gun with an M-LOK chassis. Hung them, removed them, drilled with them. No flex. No play. No finish wear. The M-LOK plate never backed out—even after a month on the wall.

But here’s the part most people miss: this isn’t just a display piece. When that bracket slides off, the plate becomes a solid hand stop. That means the gear that holds your rifle at home still works when it’s in your hands.

That’s what matters. Gear that doesn’t need to be babied. Gear that doesn’t quit.

If you’re building out your wall, your bench, or your bug-out rack—this mount deserves a slot.


Why this beats basic hooks

  • Hooks grip the barrel — and can bend or scar your finish
  • Plastic U-mounts flex — especially with heavier rifles
  • Generic racks waste space — and rarely look clean

The StealthMount does three things better:

  • Mounts to your gear, not around it
  • Functions on and off the wall
  • Adds utility when in the field
