I really like the conformal cover idea!

I'm excited about this, and I know gloves or covers would solve it, but I have to ask: are the keyholes like cheese graters on your hands when shooting it bare? It just looks like it would be...

Not at all from my expereinces, though everything I've been doing so far is dryfire drills and basic clearing exercises.

I can see myself running the 11 on a midlength gun someday. I wonder if it will clear a shaved FSB or a specific low profile gas block pinned in place. Either way, I want one.

I think it will do fine with either.

There are no sharp edges, it's all cleaned up in the machining.

I love this. I am seeing visions of another collaboration with Vltor........ "KeyMod VIS" anyone?....

I should have guessed as much from you guys, thanks Todd. :)

Great looking rail! I really like the design and attachment methods plus the flat bottomed tube is a great touch. Look forward to seeing this hit the market.

Will standard uppers, such as my bcm, be able to be drilled to accept the anti-rotation pin?

Anything can be drilled, but it's probably not worth it to try to get it centered correctly unless you know what you are doing.

I love everything Noveske, but on sheer cosmetics alone, I'm not crazy about the profile and how it looks mated to the upper. It just looks a bit off to me. Mabye it's just the angles in the pics.

Does the upper NEED to be drilled? I'm not keen in sending my upper off for machining as another out of pocket expense.

No, the pin is not needed for normal installation. "Anti rotation" only exists because of improperly installed handguards. If the barrel nut or handguard screws are loose there is a bigger problem with the assembly than a tab or pin can fix.

It is a feature some people want, and we will probably sell uppers with the pin hole for those that do want it.
