THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT The KeyMod inter-locking rail system is a collaboration between Vltor Weapon Systems and Noveske Rifleworks. Separately, both companies were in development of their own systems, but later realizing that both systems were similar, a standardization of the KeyMod system came to be. The KeyMod system offers a mounting platform for a variety of (future) accessories and components. The days of the Picatinny Rail (MIL-STD-1913) are numbered. The future of the direct mountable accessory is here and now. The KeyMod self-contained components/mounting hardware index and V-block onto the platform, achieving a secured and accurate hold to the system, while separate lugs take the recoil force off the fasteners. The pass through attachment method eliminates the need for loose screws and backing plates that can easily be lost, or difficult to install. Another advantage of the KeyMod system over the 1913 system is the direct attach eliminates the need for the 1913 system as a "middle Man" thereby reducing weight and accessory off-set from the center of the handguard. Finally, in the near future, the direct-mount KeyMod components will include items such as, 1913 rail sections, polymer covers (in various lengths and colors), hand stops, QD-Sling Mounts, bipods, K9 barricade supports and more. Also, the NSR handguard system will have an optional heat shield which installs through the front and does not occupy any KeyMod holes. Please follow our website for future KeyMod developments.

How does the rail interface with the upper receiver to facilitate the Anti-Rotation design?
I prefer FF tubes/handguards(i.e. DD Lite, Larue, EVO rails, etc) which do not "allow" rotation(not like it happens anyways if properly installed). It's just my OCD'ness.  |

Check the gear scout link I think it may tell you. It has a pin that is above the gas tube that needs a hole drilled in the upper receiver to fit into. |

I know this is Noveske we are talking about here, but, I would hope it would be on price point with other similar rails. By similar rails I mean the Troy TRX, VTAC Extreme, Midwests new Gen II's etc. Other tubular type modular rails that is.

They said that it will be in the price range of the "higher end rails", whatever that means.

If this is in the price range of the troys and sampsons, then it will be my new rail.
For anyone who is comparing, this rail is a quarter inch narrower than the troys and over a quarter narrower than the sampsons. |

Looks like a great and very simple hand guard with tons of versatility.

Handguards like this and CMMG's are the only kind that interest me anymore.

Great looking rail. Looks very similar to Wilson Combat's new TRIM rail. I think these new skinny modular rails are going to take over.

Ok, it's billed as a light weight rail, but how come they don't give us the weight that corresponds to each length?

Is it for digging the side of the gun into a barricade? It's all I can think of.
