What is the difference between the MK1 MOD 1-M and MOD 2-M?

MOD 1-M has a KeyMod (PicMod) handguard. MOD 2-M has M-LOK and a fully ambidextrous lower. Both use the PWS long-stroke piston with a 3-setting adjustable gas regulator.

MOD 0: quad-rail (pre-mid-2015). MOD 1: KeyMod with forward assist. MOD 1-P: updated KeyMod (2016). MOD 2-M: M-LOK with ambi controls. Model and serial are on the lower receiver.
