| What are the advantages of such a system? Should I feel bad for ordering a non-keymod rail in this brave new world? What will Costa think of me now? |

Hello fellow Somali.
Keymod allows for integral panels to be put into place without adding picatinny rails, more width, weight, and there is a "spec" which has an open TDP. They're usually much lighter than their non-keymod counterparts, and more MFGs are producing them. When Noveske and VLTOR designed it and made the TDP open, several MFGs jumped on. Parallax Tactical, PWS, CMMG, MI, Samson, BCM, KAC, Odin Works, and a bunch of others that I can't recall right now. I only hope that LMT and Daniel Defense will jump onto this system as well. I'd have no choice but to get a LMT MRP or MWS in keymod if they started doing it. |

So far as I can see, advantages are;
weight savings. Only carry the rails you need, Lower profile, attachments at 45 on select models (needs bayonet mount,) direct attachment mounts and accessories. Bolts to the key, no rail required. I plan on picking one up when I get some fuckaround monies. |

It is a universal attachment system, to attach your universal attachment system to……dog. Also you can build shelves out the rails if you buy enough. Quoted:

OK, thanks for the replies. I won't kick myself too hard about the Samson Evolution I got then. I see that they have a keymod version out now and was contemplating a return. Samson rails are very simular size to other key mod rails and they have a decent system. I dont think you gain anything with their new rail over the old. |
