If BCM starts selling M-Lok products I will buy a KMR M-Lok or two and M-Lok mod.3 vertical grips, otherwise BCM has lost my business because they don't offer product I'm interested in, they have good products, just not what I'm after. I prefer the mounting system of M-Lok and the looks certainly help. So I am fully adopting M-Lok and dumping Key-Mod. Its nice to be able to easily take of a vertical grip, you can not with Key-Mod, anything behind it has to come off too. For instance weapon lights and bipods do not need to be dedicated to a gun and can be switched around to accommodate specific needs. I don't have much interest in supporting both platforms with in my collection, I want to be able easily switch accessories between guns. The nice thing about the carbon is its lack of heat absorption, I have over 2.5 oz of rail covers on my KMR do to heat soak in high round count drills at classes, and secondly to hide the ugly key mod, The carbon would save me extra weight only needing to run a vertical grip and no covers.ĭo you really hate Keymod? KMR is a top of the line rail regardless of what attachment standard it uses.īefore using M-Lok I thought key mod was an ugly but effective solution especially when the weight of the KMR was factored into everything.Īfter getting a Geissele MK.8 and playing with M-Lok parts, yes I hate key mod that much. The 13" BCM KMR is 7.7oz so, this would be exactly what I have been looking for to replace my KMR with. Looking at the weight of the 13" carbon alpha rail, 6.8oz and the V7 titanium barrel nut. If I like it, and troy releases a carbon version I will pick that up to replace this with. I should have it tomorrow based on living a couple hours away from them, unless they don't have it in stock, either way I'm locked into the pricing. With this weekends 20% off sale from Troy I couldn't pass up grabbing one of these 13" Mlok rails for 160$. I like that troy instead of doing that to their round Alpha rail they made an octagonal extrusion. While having never handled it I don't love the looks of the mounting systems, and especially don't like that the machine flats onto a round rail. I have had many recommendations for the ALG rail based on my above statements. They are also slim like the KMR and cheaper than the Troy. In fact most people who have them seem to say that they have one of the best barrel nut/rail interfaces on the market. I've also never read about mounting issues with them, as I have about Troy rails. They don't offer 7 surfaces but do offer off set mounting slots. I see you're looking for 7 mounting surfaces but have you checked out the ALG rails? I've never had a troy rail, but I'm excited to give this one a try. If not for its liw weight I would have replaced them with geisele mk8 rails which I think is amazing, i only wish it was 4-5 ounces lighter. Hopefuly combined with a V7 titanium barrel nut this could come close the the weight of the KMR, which i consider its most valuable asset. I'd like to give the carbon fiber version a shot. This has the right profile and layout with 7 faces of MLok, like the KMR has with keymod. I've given up on BCM caving on this any time soon, which is to bad. This looks like the closest I'm going to get to an MLok BCM KMR.
