KeyMod Vs M-Lok

[Deadwing]

It's a sweet build. I've got a Gen 1 that's just been collecting dust.

The Gen 1 forged upper will probably be hardest part to find. And I'll probably do mine with a 9.5 mk8 and 10.3 barrel.

Thanks, man. I appreciate the compliment. Keep an eye on Rainier Arms. They get them periodically.

I really wish Noveske still made the 10.2" 300BLK barrel. It would've been PERFECT with the 9.5" Mk8. The 10.5" barrel leaves a bit more gap between the can and hand guard than i'd like, but it still looks pretty damn good. And it's a shooter. A 10.3" barrel with the 9.5" Mk8 will be a sick combo. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Well I'm going to have to put the 10.3" build on pause for a little bit. My wife told me very matter of factly tonight that our next gun WILL be a Colt AR15A4. She shot her dad's A2 recently and I think she's fallen in love lol

That's a nice rifle. Worth putting the 10.3" build on hold for, IMHO. I bought a BCM lower with an A2 stock and matched it with one of their 20" uppers. Added a carry handle rear sight and a KAC M5 RAS, and changed the trigger guard back to a milspec part and the grip to a MOE. Boom...poor man's Colt AR15A4.

As an owner of 2 AR15A4's I can say with 100% certainty there is no way in hell those rifles are worth the 2k plus they are commanding now. I'd grab a FN15 and never look back if she likes that format rifle.

I agree your probably getting more rifle for your money from FNH, but it's gotta be a Colt. I think I have a link on a cheaper A4

Just remember, the issued A4 is a FN gun, not a Colt. Not sure if that helps the argument.

So a Facebook group I found seem to think keymod is junk and will fail pretty easily. What's your guys thought on their view? They seem to be pretty well liked from what I can tell

I personally feel that if not for BCM's KMR the Keymod would have already died. I think it was Midwest Industries who said their MLOK rails outsell the Keymod models 3 to 1.

If you guys havn't seen PWS patented a keymod/picatinny rail thing with this mk mod 2 series - "picmod"

The rail is made by BCM on pws's patent.

Keymod isn't going anywhere

Saw it at SHOT. Was quite interesting!

Same here, I was very impressed with the idea and PWS rifles as a whole. Finally they added ambi features!

The same could be said for MLOK if Magpul wasn't making it into as big of a thing as it is. I think both systems will stick around, I also don't see one being better than the other. I think it's all personal preference and will become another Ford vs Chevy type argument.

I have both systems and think they are both great.

Yeah I saw that. Pretty neat.

Guess that means PicLok isn't fair behind.

I mean, its just a matter of time till someone creates keypiclok

[DutyUse]

I have both and wouldn't recommend one over another. Keymod is easier to install
