Lightest Keymod Rail? > Rifles, Uppers, Lowers, Barrels, and more

Posted: 6/16/2016 11:48:02 AM EDT

Looking for a lightweight 9" keymod rail for my 11.5 Faxon big gunner...I want this to be an ultralight-ish KISS build.

So far I've looked at Seekins, BCM, MI and CMMG. Any other suggestions?

SLR has some very light and attractive stuff. I'd add them to your list.

I just installed a 10" BCM on my carbine. I was more worried about diameter than weight but it's very light. Easy to install and seems to be very strong. I'd recommend them.

A lot of our customers opt for the 10" KMR rails with the 11.5".

you can get it a tad lighter using a Ti barrel nut and hardware....V7 Weapons Systems has some of them as well

This. I had a 10" KMR on an 11.5" upper and it was perfect. I'll probably go back to a KMR Alpha on that upper.

I've got 10" KMR-A forends on a 12.5 carbine and a 14.5 middy already. I like it on both rifles so I may end up going that direction with this build too but I appreciate the other suggestions so far!

KMR hands down is the lightest rail I have.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a MI G3 LWM in MLOK (I already have a bunch of Keymod and I like variety).

Anyone have experience with the newer MI offerings?

The KMR is very light, but for only I believe maybe 0.2oz you can get the Alpha rail which is slightly heavier(still much lighter than many other rails), but will be stronger than the KMR. Just something to keep in mine if you plan on working the rifle hard.

I have had the 10" G3 lw since February and it's been great so far. I paired it with a Faxon pencil barrel and it's very light and easy to handle.
Hasn't been through hard use but fine for my needs.
