Agreed, and I have a NSR a KMR (and a SMR mk2 which isn't any of the above). I have nothing against keymod or mlok. I love my KMR. It compliments a light weight barrel nicely. But a lot of quad rails are battle proven and they are built like tanks. I won't be reaching for a sissy, pretty lightweight if the SHTF. I'll be going straight for the mod 0. |

Quad rails are about as sexy as Rosie O'Donnell. Both way past whatever their prime was and you would always rather see them covered up with something.

There is a time for MLOK, and there is a time for keymod, and there is a time for everything else. I follow a simple rule for my rifles. Use the correct rail. If it calls for a keymod because you want to use Noveske NSR panels, get a keymod. If it calls for an inexpensive ALG EMR MLOK so you can use some type 2 Magpul panels, go for it. If you see a Rifle length URX3 in the EE and Abradley, Samson-Dogg, Geno, or btoor2413 haven't scoured it up, go ahead and buy it! A couple recent builds which are going to get some BCM and Noveske keymod product: 
And one which is a simple build. 
Enjoy the process guys. Be glad we can pick what we want to use. |

So in summation; the guys that dont like the quad rail complain about the size of it (small hands), tears there hands up (soft hands), too heavy (do you even lift bro?). Does that come close? Then they seem to think that the newer hand guards are somehow new tech that is soo great, but they are using them on 50's tech rifles (AR's). So you still have no advanced tech argument, its like hooking up dolby surround sound to a phonograph.

All my rifles are old Noveske's with heavy quad rails. It would cost way too much to convert them all and it wouldn't make much difference anyway. I also hate key mod.

Knights rails for the win. For those who complain about weight. We are talking ounces . If carrying the rail from the car to the range is too much. Maybe you should work out a little.

I had that SWS rail on my Noveske factory upper, and after three years or so I replaced it with a Dickmod NSR that was just a little longer. I really wanted to like it, but it doesn't work for me. Since then, I've replaced or sold most of my quads.
I prefer the smaller profile (medium hands here, thumb over grip with VFG) and smooth surfaces of both DM and MLok. Just because I like to start trouble, I prefer DM attachment.

I'm a huge fan of the URX rail.
I've recently also found that ADM makes the lowlight rail system. Appears to be a clone of URX 3.1. I'm using it in my new build and really like it.     This is still probably my favorite though...(Kac) (Image was flipped/shopped to make a cross-it's not "lefty")  |

Troy- cheesy clamp LaRue- 19 pieces involving a strap wrench DD- is that an ASME approved bolted flange? MI- don't remember how it mounted, but it was definitely heavy URX- jam nut.

I hate full four rail systems.
I don't want the rail on the bottom except where I need to mount something, I don't like the little plastic covers, etc. The slick tubes that you can mount bits of rail to with full top rail are the best option, in my opinion. |

I doubt I'll ever buy another full quad rail, unless they're so cheap I can't pass them up.
Otherwise, I'll buy smooth, slim rails with only necessary picatinny, at most. |
