I'm was looking for stripped monolithic upper today and ran across the Vltor VIS-SL Polylithic keymod that looks nice, and I like the Slimline idea. There site says available for delivery in May. Here's a link:

Looks heavy.  Why didn't they add keymod slots along the sides.  Would have added versatility while reducing weight.  Sorry, not buying that the upper barrel threads are somehow overstressed by holding up the weight of the rifle.

the tire tread pattern on the sides looks terrible.

Why do manufacturers keep insisting on machining rails into supposed "keymod" fore ends in the most likely places where you would mount something?  Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of keymod?

I understand a continuous top rail for optic mounts...

We need a keymod adapter so you can mount a keymod section to a LW rail with just round holes.  Then, mount a rail to the keymod section.  That way you can have mounts on your mount when your mounting!

This. The profile looks great though! I'd still rather have kemod sections where the tread is.

I think you are only looking at the "partial keymod" version. The "full keymod" version doesn't have rails machined.

OK, the "full keymod" version makes sense then, the "VIS-KM", that's a good looking upper.
