I think mlok will probably be better supported than keymod eventually, but if I had a keymod forend I wouldnt be rushing to change. I do kinda like the look of these new mlok qd mounts, wonder how theyd hold up over years..

Keymod killer right here. That shit is slick as fuck.

Seriously though, I do think MLok is going to pull ahead eventually. It's just so much simpler to manufacture or redress/repair, and more robust to boot.

interesting.
what makes it better than the MI? is it more solid?
has fewer vent holes for the gas tube, and is probably heavier.

The MI rails are all fully dehorned and feel fine in the hand too. They're also easier to install, since you don't have to time the barrel nut. The ALG handguard with the full top rail is only slightly less expensive than the corresponding length of MI handguard.

The glue is optional. The torque plate on the gen 3 handguards hooks onto the back of the barrel nut, so even if you don't glue it the handguard isn't going anywhere.

I have a BCM KMR but it would appear that MLOK just blew out KMR .

Military arms channel just posted a video of this new MLOk piece that clips on and off without tools. Unless Keymod can counter that they're done

Quoted By:

I have a MI 2 piece Keymod rail on my AR. After thousands of rounds and a couple carbine courses its worked just fine. Nothing falling off, no issues whatsoever. The reasons I went with a keymod rail are mlok wasn't around and the rail was thinner than a full rail hand guard. It fit my hand a lot better than some bulky quad rail hand guard.

I'm not in the military or le so all I have on my rifle's hand guard is a flashlight and some rail covers.

Mostly because a picattiny rail is a particular type of rail? It'd be like saying why do we call it a Kalashnikov, might as well just call it a gun.

OK, for a range gun, I wouldn't trust one for a serious use gun. Personally I would spend a little more and get a Geissele rail, they have a far more robust barrel nut to rail interface.

Price is one area. The 13" is like $115. It's like +$20 though for their front sight rail. (Necessary if you want a front sight.) I'm honestly thinking of building an 18" midlength upper with the ALG 13" rail, Vortex PST 2.5-10x32mm, and no iron sights.

yeah im starting to fall for that ALG 13". and the way the rail mounts seems a lot more robust. i even like the way their FDE looks compared to the MI.

and why not 18" w/ rifle gas??
cant talk shit though since i have a 16" w/ carbine gas.

I've not settled on a specific barrel or upper yet, so rifle vs midlength vs intermediate will be settled based on availability when I get around to actually buying one.

As for why I'm thinking of midlength... PSA has a $500 kit that'd be pretty decent to start with.
http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-18-chf-midlength-5-56-nato-1-7-heavy-rifle-kit.html

I figure I could get it all set (less the scope) for about $350. Should it suck, I can resell either the upper or the whole gun in a year or two.

I'm not too worried. It can't be heavier than my 308. While I would prefer a medium contour barrel (.750") but it's not meant to the be my lightest AR. It'll be my third or fourth AR.
