Parallax Tactical KeyMod FFSSR Rails

[UWone77]

Parallax Tactical (http://www.parallaxtactical.com/) has released some pictures of a new KeyMod version of their FFSSR rail. The rail will range from 7.2″ to 18″ long. Pricing will start at under $200 to $250 for the 18". Much like the standard FFSSR Rail, the KeyMod version will offer a full length picatinny section at 12 o’clock and KeyMod at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. I'm already a big fan of Parallax Tactical (http://www.parallaxtactical.com/) and their 15" FFSSR Rail. The slim profile makes it very easy to handle. Looks like it will be 2-3 weeks before they will be available. We'll post again with release dates when they are available. Also checkout Weapon Outfitters for current Parallax Tactical Gear (http://www.weaponoutfitters.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=parallax+tactical).

Seems like a great alternative to the NSR. I like how the QD is incorporated into the handguard whereas the NSR you have to buy it separate. Does it have any anti rotational tabs or anything to stop it from rotating?

I think this might just be the rail for my new build .

I think I need to show this to my husband! We are looking for an alternative rail at the moment. These are pretty nice looking and light weight! Thank you.

There are no anti-rotational tabs, but the barrel nut and mounting system has so far been pretty solid.

Just as sexy as the NSR rail.

Anyone have the black keymod rails in stock?

Kinda liking this rail,l have you used it much ? Seem solid as compared to the like as such as the NSR?

[UWone77]

The NSR is much nicer in the "fit and finish" but these are very useable. Weapon Outfitters has them in stock in black on the Link above.

Is it just me or do these look like a cheap knock-off version of the NSR?

Well I guess I can see the similarities, but I wouldn't call the Parallax Rail cheap by any means. A lot of rails in the market look similar, but KeyMod is an open source, so I imagine a lot of companies have or are already producing simple extruded rails with KeyMods.
