@Johny_Baba @Lonewarrior , sorry for bothering you again.
I have a new doubt. In M-LOK I know that a nut rotates and fit in to the slot, but in the fab defense lower handguard, it appears to me that there is no space for the nut to rotate as the heat shield is just behind (for the blue one).

Even in this pic shared by Lonewarrior, I am unable to make any guess how the nut rotates as I cannot guess if there are any hollow spaces just behind the slot.

What I want to know is that whether FAB Mod has slots of the type in left or the right according to the pic I drew (below).

Do Fab Defense use some other kind of nut-bolt instead of the standard Magpul nut-bolt (below)?
No issues mate. Always there

So here is a typical aluminium handguard with M-Lok nuts.

And here is how that heat shield thingy attaches

So there is sufficient space for the T-nut to rotate and engage.

But there is something that's quite similar to what you're doubts are; the size of the screw is not something standardized by Magpul. Some screws are longer as polymer based handguard tend to be slightly thicker. Screws for aluminium handguard are shorter. So if a screw is bit longer then it will interfere with that heat shield.

Thanks mate, but can you get me one picture in the same angle as the above one for the Vanguard AKM kit (the above one appears to be for a different gun). Also if possible share an image of the slot at an angle (if you can get through some connections maybe).

I am confused because I have got one piece of the lower guard and I cannot make a head or tail out of it.

You can see that here the slots are closed.

The p72 mag well seems to be oversized? Also check out the optics on the ar15. 😂 😂
