KeyMod vs. M-LOK

[LittleLebowski]

You guys are doing fine and thank you for adding so much to this forum. Please carry on

Ask?

You have a reference of a KAC gun with before and after.

Why not ask, shoot the test, and then have a big radio show with KAC, BCM, and you and discuss the benefits of CHF over long term courses of fire.

Freedom Munitions could get more press too.

The worst they could say is no and you'd have the same amount of ammo as you do now.

I think John is in a much better position to accomplish this than me, given his wider following, and continued interest in performing such tests.

I'm far more interested in reading the results these days than co ducting the tests.

Keymod is pretty much relegated to civilian life, regarding M4 type weapons, as I understand it. M-LOK has not yet been ruled out for Block III.

I am going with MLok because it is the new hotness All kidding aside, I am going with the MLok. I like Magpul stuff, and I have been using them for a while. I know it is good quality and will hold up under hard use.

MLOK solves a lot of issues KM has. Much more durable setup.

What issues does Keymod have? I honestly haven't heard much by way of KM failures, although I'm a bit leery how there seem to be multiple iterations of it.

KM attachment can't tolerate too much abuse, over-tightening, or other forces. Some rails are stronger than others. Ripping the attachment hardware through the rail has happened somewhat easily. I've seen several pictures of KMR's especially. Recoil force is not very well distributed, comparatively. It has its fans, sure, it's just not nearly as robust as M-LOK.

ARe these failure pictures somewhere online that we can see? A google image search of "keymod failure" gave me nothing.

Not that I am aware. Nor were they given to me to share.

KAC is coming out with an MLOK version of the URX 4 rail.
