Writing on the wall: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/0117171106b-660x371.jpg At the 2017 SHOT Show, Heckler & Koch was proudly displaying their victorious CSASS entrant, now designated the M110A1 by the US Army. The Compact Semi-Automatic Sniper System competition was created to find a lighter weight, more compact sniper weapon system to replace the Knight’s Armament M110 SASS. The H&K rifle that reportedly won the contract was slightly different than the rifle on display at the show, the latter sporting the new Geissele M-LOK handguard which replaced HK’s proprietary “backwards Keymod” negative attachment handguard. H&K submitted Keymod, but was asked to replace it with M-Lok (noting the Geissele makes both, so the Army still had its choice.) So it is decided-- MLok:Keymod::Bluray:HD-DVD |

True, but as noted, Geissele makes their rails in both M-Lok and normal Keymod, so they still actually made a choice between them. Regardless of who was on the committee, this is the first time that the US military spec'd M-Lok or Keymod, and they chose the former. That's a bad sign for a company that has stuck to its guns (he-he) on Keymod. |
