This is Game Changing.

Nice. I was gonna get a Noveske NSR rail, but the BCM rail looks like an even better option. Guess I'll just have to wait until they hit the market. Glad they are coming out with some key mod options too.

Sweet. That rail is the first keymod I've thought was attractive

Couple reasons:

1. BCM is working very hard to standardize Keymod across all manufactures.

2. BCM is designing a lot of direct connect Keymod accessories.

3. BCM changed the material used to manufacture a free float handguard in order to create a ultra light weight rail without sacrificing strength by removing a lot of material.

In my opinion, I think you will see Keymod eventually replace 1913 picatinny rail as the industry standard due to the fallowing reasons:

1. Lighter and smaller diameter handguards can be achieved.

2. You can still use 1913 picatinny rail but only in the places you need it.

3. It isn't manufacture specific and does'nt require backing plates or shims like modular handguards.

4. It's much more comfortable to hold than 1913 picatinny rail.

5. Gives you 45 degree mounting options.

I cant watch the vid from work but I watched one yesterday where they showed a tool less keymod vert grip. Is this the same video?

Anyways, that tool less keymod vert grip is awesome!

It was only a few years ago that NATO adopted the new STANAG 4694 rail; I like the key mod but it will probably be a while before they even consider something new.

For us mall ninjas though, this will probably be the shizzle for the next 15 months...

Wonder what the I.D. is going to be on that rail and if they are going to make a 2 pc. gas block for their pinned/welded 14.5" barrel.

You and I have different concepts of game changing. I don't think Keymod will ever replace picatinny rail. It's only advantage over other rail systems like the Troy Alpha rails and the like, is the slight universalness of it's attachments and a few ounces of weight savings. And toolless attachments, I can do that with anything on a picatinny rail with just a cam lock.

And the number 1 reason it won't replace pic rail.... You can't (easily) put keymod on the top of your reciever(on a standard AR style receiver at least)

What difference does any of that really make to 99% of the market?

It is going to make shooting from a bench more efficient? Prone? 3 gun?

I guess you could argue that someone would fatigue after 4 hours and 45 minutes of holding the rifle instead of 4 hours and 30 minutes. But does that really matter to 99% of the market?

And how many times have you needed to "quick change" from an angled foregrip to a vertical foregrip?

None of that requires keymod. You can do it with screw-in pictainny rails, which many of us have used successfully for years with YHM and MI (amongst others). You gotta stop letting yourself be blinded by BCM fanboyism. Their keymod handguard is nice and probably a good option for some people, but it's not "game changing".

In fact, there are very, very few people who really need to mount crap all over their handguard. A couple inches of picatinny rails on the sides and maybe half length on the bottom. I don't think I've ever used a handguard top rail outside of very specific circumstances (AKs).

Incremental? Sure. Game change? Not so much.

Top rail can be a good place to mount a weapon light. And of course the obvious use back up irons. But other than that, you nailed it.

Ugh, great point about the BUIS. So 2-4 inches up front on top of the handguard. (I'm more of a side or far forward guy for weapon lights, personally.)
