I agree, OP.
I just cannot get into the Keymod or Mlok designs. |

Agreed. 20 years from now they'll be going all retro on quad rails.
|

I have to disagree with you.
Between the extra weight and the cheese grater effect......quad rails suck in comparison. |
|
|
...And just like most women they are heavy, and fat as fuck.
|
|
a lot of guys love the look of tiny penises on their handguards.

Quoted: The URX 3.1 is the greatest rail of all time. http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o639/Cole2534/URX_zpshyvjrivm.jpg View Quote My AAC .300 upper (see my avatar) came with the URX 3.1 and I was initially disappointed at having to screw on accessory rails, but then I figured out that lighter / smoother is better. These or big G (Geissele / ALG) rails FTW! |

View Quote Lol, when I think of "battle rifle" an AR-15 is the last thing that comes to mind. A battle rifle is 10 lbs of wood and steel son. But if I'm not being nostalgic and want a functional working rifle, I'm going to use the best technology available. Quad rails add unnecessary weight and have poor ergonomics compared to Mlock. |

Hell naw... Do you even thumb-over bruh Never got the point of that, other than thinking the guy at the range holding it that way is a tool. I like it on a thin handguard with a pressure pad on the top rail section (like my SBR), But other than that I agree with you... It does have its purpose, but there are a lot of "tools" around for sure |

Too much unnecessary weight and rail space if you're not gonna use it .
Also is rough on the hands unless you add some rail covers which adds more weight . Mlok is the best thing to happen for the rail system . |
|
The only quad rail I ever liked the look of is DD's MK18 rail. The FDE one, of course.
|

Whatever mlok and keymod are, they have passed me by. I have had no need or desire for a rail of any kind for many years. Call me an AR dinosaur. I'm still shooting a basic Colt 6721, and own some 6520, and a decent frankengun on a YHM receiver..

View Quote The US military is long overdue for an upgrade. They should go with Knight's URX or Geissele's rail. |

He should move it to 12 o clock |

No.
Who needs 60" of continuous, heavy rail to mount a sling, light and BUIS? No one, that's who. |
