Key mod is ugly and mlok is a pain to adjust the nuts before you tighten them, but both systems work fine

I picked up an Mlok float tube from MI. I like it because it doesn't look like I scavenged a shelving unit for my rifle.

I like the feel of bare KeyMod in my hands better.
If mounting shit, MLOK is better. |

Ya know.... I could never see the dick in the old AR15.com logo... I never saw the two dicks in the Spikes Tactical logo...
But dammit, keymod slots look like little cock-and-balls. I can't not see them. They will never not appear as dicks to me. |

What is wrong with plain old rails? That's old school, man. You gotta get with the new hotness. But seriously, I didn't want to include regular picatinny rails because I wanted a direct vote between M-LOK and KeyMod, as they're direct competitors and go after the same niche. |

Hard to beat the quality and value of ALG EMR M-Lock rails. Light, strong includes the barrel nut and wrench that doesn't require a torque wrench.

I really don't have a strong preference either way, they both work, both effectively similar. Loving the constant innovations! |

KM. Because Noveske rails aren't available in MLok. If you don't like the pattern, get some covers. The pattern disappears.
Like that. Or this.

I don't get the full length key-mod, M-LoK, or 1913 rail thing. How much shit do you really plan on hanging off your rifle? IMO KAC got it right with the URX 3.1 rail on the Sr15 Mod 1. YMMV.
