ALG Defense (http://algdefense.com/10-ergonomic-modular-rail-black-174.html)made a splash earlier this year with their EMR Rails. They now take the next step with the EMR Rail with M-LOK. These rails are designed to be lightweight and very minimalistic. For those on a budget, the rails start at just $115. Checkout ALG Defense (http://algdefense.com/10-ergonomic-modular-rail-black-174.html) for more information and ordering.
Description:
The ALG Defense (http://algdefense.com/10-ergonomic-modular-rail-black-174.html) Ergonomic Modular Rail (EMR) M-LOK was designed to be a cost effective, lightweight, ergonomic and modular option for the M4 Carbine and all mil-spec AR-15 variants. The ALG EMR M-LOK was also designed to do a good job in meeting the ten design specifications for a good M4 weapon rail. The M-LOK design by Magpul, will allow the direct attachment of M-LOK developed accessories. **Please note that the EMR M-LOK DOES NOT include any accessory rails, co-witness or otherwise. All accessory rails are sold seperately.**
1. ERGONOMIC
Instead of four sharp and jagged M1913 rails spaced at 90 degree intervals, the ALG EMR is fully ergonomic, maintaining its comfortable rounded shape throughout the length of the rail. The rounded top allows the shooter to easily wrap his or her thumb over the top of the EMR as many shooters like to do with a forward grip.
2. SET-UP IS MODULAR AND FLEXIBLE
Accessory rails in the standard M-LOK configuration are provided with each ALG EMR so accessories can be mounted where the shooter desires. Accessory rails can be attached anywhere along the length of the rail in 45° intervals, including the standard 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. The 12 o’clock rail will “co-witness” with the top of an M4 upper receiver for use with any front BUIS. The ALG EMR also includes 2 standard non-rotating QD slots on either side of the rail.
3. FREE FLOATING
The weapon barrel is completely free floating when an ALG EMR is mounted. No force is put into the barrel from slings or bipods that could affect point of aim.
4. STRONG
The ALG EMR is machined from a semi-billet extrusion made from aircraft grade aluminum. A semi billet extrusion is designed with extensive machining stock for 3D features that are machined directly into the rail so that the rail is one integral piece.
5. RIGID
Current infantry doctrine makes extensive use of accessories that require attachment to a weapon rail. Flashlights, visible and infrared lasers, night vision and thermal sights all require a rigid weapon rail so that zero is not changed when a bipod or sling is used to support the weapon from the rail. The ALG EMR is a rigid interface for weapon accessories due to its precisely machined proprietary barrel nut and secure rail interface and clamping arrangement.
6. LIGHTWEIGHT
Use of aircraft grade aluminum and high strength steels in the ALG EMR give the entire assembly a good strength and performance to weight ratio.
7. ACCESSORY RAILS EASY TO INSTALL
Utilizing the M-LOK technology, accessory rails are easily attached in seconds. The technology also allows the shooter to place accessory rails across slots, allowing even further customized placement of both accessory rails or direct attach accessories.
8. ACCESSORY RAILS ARE SECURELY ATTACHED
The ALG EMR M-LOK accessory rails attached via steel nuts utilizing Magpuls design. The special steel rotating nuts are precision machined from 17-4 stainless. The slots on the rail are also precision machined so that the accessory rail, nut and rail all mate together perfectly. Using a short armed hex key, the accessroy rail is then locked in place creating a rock solid platform for any attaching of accessories.
9. RAIL ASSEMBLY IS EASY TO INSTALL
Each ALG EMR comes with a precision machined, 2-1/4” long barrel nut that is machined from aircraft grade aluminum and hardcoat anodized for a durable surface. Also, included is the proprietary ALG EMR barrel nut wrench which is used to tighten the barrel nut to the upper receiver. The ALG EMR is required to be indexed to the gas tube, and includes all the necessary shim kits and instructions to do so. The rail is then slid onto the barrel nut and the precise barrel nut to rail fit precisely aligns the rail to the barrel. After indexing the rail to the receiver, six mounting bolts are tightened and the rail is secure.
10. RAIL IS EASY TO REMOVE
Just by loosening six screws the ALG EMR can be slid off the barrel nut for cleaning or gas system maintenance. As quick as it is removed the ALG EMR is can be re-installed with the precise barrel nut to rail fit maintaining sight and accessory zero.
