KeyMod Vs M-Lok

[tappedandtagged]

Congratulations on the new baby, that's almost as cool as the G2S. I kid, boy or girl?

Thanks!

Second girl. Any day now...

No boys. That'll be fine though.

Will they be issued KeyMod or M-LOK?

I voted KeyMod strictly on the basis that I have been using it and like it. Frankly M-lok pisses me off. Magpul has a huge, ridiculous following and make quality stuff but I have notoced one thing...their ffanboys are diehard and would never question the infinite wisdom of Magpul. This is why Mlok pisses me off. We FINALLY had a non proprietary system that was highly customizable and instead of going with it Magpul rallies the troops and basically gives the big "f you" to KeyMod.

Damn Devon,
Don't sugarcoat it, tell us how you really feel.....

P.S. I voted Keymod, because I didn't really know (I do now) what the question actually was, and I have 2 KeyMod rifles, and another Keymod hand guard that I won in members drawing. The others are 2 Centurion C4's and the Colt was sold.

If there were a poll option for "don't give a shit" I would select that option

From reading their material on the MLok system I seemed to gather that the KeyMod system wasn't very compatible with polymer products (is Magpul) due to the undercut that must be made on the attachment device. So... I can understand why they want another system.

That being said... After doing a lot of reading and searching, I placed an order for a KeyMod rail about 2 hours ago. Its coming from a company about 4 hours away so I hope to have it before the weekend is over. Then its off to my Dad's shop to shave my FSB and install the new rail when I get off work Sunday morning (unless I have a new kid by then). My Dad has Burr King belt grinder that should finish the gas block nicely.

The main reason I went with the KeyMod was due to my needs on a rifle which are a rail and a light. Not much else (except optics). Noveske makes a very sleek KeyMod light mount that is EXACTLY what I want in a light mount. So with the one accessory already being made, I figured I'd go with the known versus the unknown.

Why not? And for what its worth, I tried to edit the poll (some forums allow that) but was unable to add the afformentioned MoxyDave option to the list.

Haha the more you know ...

I believe Keymod and M-LOK will both survive. Both BCM and KAC we're not on the M-LOK list and both have a diehard following.

Update. Keymod rail is nicely living on my rifle now. I'm happy. If I ever get over my feelings of camera inadequacy, I'll post some pictures.

I think there is room in the market for both.

Geissele is sending me a MK8 soon, so I will definitely see if it's actually better than keymod.

The thing I think that hurts keymod the most is that all the rails look alike.

That's blank on my iPad. Is it the vimeo video that magpul recently put out? I saw it on their Facebook page.

Edit. It worked on my phone. Same video, differnt video hosting. Apple products suck.
