[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is Keymod just a fad? (Page 1 of 4)
Posted: 10/10/2016 5:39:19 PM EDT
| I want to assemble an AR with my 10 yr old and have it be viable when she leaves the nest someday. Is Keymod it or should I go with the best rail available now? |

Quoted:
Go MLOK if you're looking for a "modular" accessory attachment system. I have a BCM KMR Alpha rail on one of my uppers and it is super nice. I don't have anything attached to it yet as it is really just a range toy but it definitely saves weight and doesn't cut your hands up. |

But yeah, I actually started off with KM (Noveske NSR) and have owned a few KMRs, but I still prefer MLOK. I feel the attachment method is easier to install and more secure. It also helps that everyone seems to be venturing into the MLOK world while some seem to be ditching KM altogether. |
| I've had both. I had a DDM4V11 a while back, and now I have a DDM4V7 (2016). The V7 with MLOK is lighter, more comfortable to grip, and looks cleaner. I do not like the cheese grater quad rails, which require me to attach some kind of rail covers to grip. I am a big fan of the V7 with MLOK. |

What makes you prefer it? I have keymod on all of mine. I'm indifferent. It does what I need it to do, but I'm not a loyalist to Keymod either. Quoted:

I think the market is shifting in favor to mlok, check out kinect qd stuff, nothing like that for keymod. Plus, MK4 mlok rail is the bees knees. |

Long story, but when my guns got run over, everything keymod fell off. Everything. Conversely, everything picatinny mounted stayed on. I will never buy anything keymod ever again. MLOK, maybe. I believe this would be more of common occurrence if all the arfcom operators actually used and abused their rifles. |
