I just got a couple of MI Gen 3 Keymod SSK forends.  If you wish, you can read about them here
Short story, they are fantastic, and the price for what you get is IMO one of the great bargains to be found.

Screw keymod. But yes, MI makes great stuff.

This

I picked up a Gen3 M-Lok handguard.

Lightweight
Slim
Feature packed (QD's at all the places you'd want, anti-rotation design, etc)

I absolutely will be buying more of them.

Don't like keymod I take it?   Never you mind, they also make it in m-lock.

I've seen several MI rails with broken/bent tabs that contact the barrel nut from improper install.  Im wary of rails that rely on friction fit with the barrel nut, also.

Just looked at it and you're right. Gen3 seems like a better design.

I did not like the previous generation MI rails for the same reason. I also don't like rails the require barrel nut timing because I like to be able to seat it with the amount of torque I want to use. MI has corrected both with the Gen 3.

I will say all my friction fit rails (SLR, KMR, VRS-T) are significantly more solid than the rails that attach to the barrel nut via screws.

I own a few gen 2's. When installed properly they are fantastic. However this Gen 3 change is amazing. I'm planning a new build right now and to be honest, the MI G3 is at the top of my list in a tie with a Larue rail. Great value and quality.

Just need to decide between that and the Larue rail now depending on which length I go with.

Gen 2 drop in on the Beowulf. Quality and price are excellent and it's one of the few rifle length rails that will fit over that massive gas block.
