So far, Handguards with the KeyMod attachment system have really caught on and tons of people have been buying them such as the Noveske NSR, Fortis REV, Seekins MCSR, etc.   The only issue is that there is still very few accessory mounts for them.  Most of what you can find are just small 1913 picatinny sections which doesn’t really make sense since that is what KeyMod is supposed to eliminate.  Finally, one of my favorite manufacturers, Impact Weapons Components has stepped in to fill the void.  Their first offering is the IWC KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount.  This is an extremely low profile, lightweight, rotation limited QD sling mount.  I know you’re thinking “Well, most rails already come with a sling mount”.  While some do, the most popular KeyMod rail is the Noveske NSR which does not feature a built in QD mount.  Even on ones that do have built in mounts you still may want to adjust where on the rail your sling attaches and this allows you to do that.  As with all IWC components, the KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount is made from start to finish in Timnath, Co and comes with a 100% LIFETIME WARRANTY.  You can simply return it anytime for a full refund including your shipping charges….but you won’t want to do that.  Just a way to know you can buy from them with confidence.  The IWC KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount is just $17 but you can save an additional 5% with the discount code “AR15NEWS”.  Purchase the KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.

NEW!! Seekins Precision MCSR-V2 Modular Rail

Posted on April 9th, 2013 by ar15news

Seekins Precision makes some of my absolute favorite rails.  I personally use their BAR rail on my AR Pistol and have a SAR rail on another rifle.  One of their most popular models is the MCSR (Modular Combat Suppressor Rail).  It features a perfectly round tube with slots to attach rail sections including a complete top rail section.  With the strong emphasis in the AR15 industry on KeyMod, Seekins Precision has announced the new MCSR V2 which now features KeyMod attachment slots at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock and a slightly lower MSRP.  Check out the details below.  As soon as I get some larger pictures I will be sure to share them with you guys.  

Seekins Precision is excited to announce the new
MCSR V2 rail with lower MSRP! 

The MCSR V2 rail will be available in 7”, 9”, 10”, 12” and 15” lengths. We have designed the rail so that the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions will now accept all keymod accessories and have two anti-rotation QD points per side (6 total). The internal dimension of the MCSR V2 has increased to 1.8” to accommodate most suppressors on the market. The top picatinny rail is now a solid integrated part of the handguard.

All open orders for MCSR rails will be converted to the new MCSR V2 rail as the original MCSR rail has been discontinued and is no longer being produced.

With the addition of the keymod cuts on the sides of the MCSR V2 rail, we will no longer be shipping the Seekins Precision proprietary picatinny side sections with the new rail. However they will still be available for separate purchase.

10” – $205.00
12” – $209.00
15” – $219.00

NEW!! ODIN Works KMod Forend

Posted on March 11th, 2013 by ar15news

ODIN Works has just announced their brand new KeyMod handguard which they are calling the KMod Forend.  I compare KeyMod to 300AAC Blackout.  In the beginning everyone thought 300AAC Blackout was just another round that will never catch on but now, less than 2 years later its all people are talking about.  The same can be said for KeyMod.  When VLTOR released the specs it was hard for people to wrap their heads around not having a 1913 picatinny rail but now more and more manufacturers are getting into the KeyMod Rail and Accessory market that its kind of exciting to see all of the new stuff coming out.  The KMod Forend was just announced today.  The 9.5″ and 12.5″ are both in-stock and ready for purchase.  You can pre-order the 15.5″ by emailing Alicia at alicia@odinworks.com.  Check out the details and pics of this great looking handguard below.

Posted on January 28th, 2013 by ar15news

If you’ve been paying attention at all to the AR15 market you’ve undoubtedly noticed the abundance of new rail/handguards, starting with the Noveske NSR, using a new feature called KeyMod.  My favorite KeyMod rail is the Fortis REV in the image below.  KeyMod is basically an attachment system for accessories that doesn’t require the use of a 1913 picatinny rail and was designed by VLTOR.  Up until now every ones been asking the question “Where’s all the KeyMod accessories?”.  Noveske has come out with a few but we want more!!  Finally I can confidently say that they are on the way!  Earl over at Impact Weapons Components has been working very hard on this and is planning on offering a full line of Handstops, Light Mounts, Sling Mounts, etc. using the KeyMod attachment system.  The first to be offered will be the new KeyMod Handstop.  Right now they are doing a Pre-Order for the new KeyMod Handstop which is just a few weeks out.  Pricing is only $34.95 but as with everything on the Impact Weapons Components website if you use the code “AR15NEWS” at checkout you’ll save 5% off your order.  Get in on this pre-order at ImpactWeaponsComponents.com.  I’ll keep you guys informed as more IWC KeyMod components continue to come in.

WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT KeyMod – Made by Impact Weapons Components in Colorado:

WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT is designed to provide a low profile, ergonomic and highly functional device for enhancing weapon control.

Direct Attach Design saves weight, reduces part count, increases weapon reliability and increases the function of the WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT by placing it directly against the surface of the hand guard / fore end.

The operator can place them in any single KeyMod Slot, usually along the bottom of the hand guard, allowing the weapon to be pulled into the shoulder pocket, or directly attached to the side of the hand guard, allowing the WEAPON CONTROL MOUNT-N-SLOT to index perfectly in the web of your hand, like a GLOCK or 1911 would, for proper alignment behind a weapon mounted flashlight.

DIRECT attach design eliminates the need for 2 separate mounts; 1- A Hand Stop Mount and 2 – A Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section.

Ergonomic, DIRECT attach design eliminates all sharp edges which can ensnarl the operators gear.

55% increase in usable hand guard grip area by eliminating the Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section.

35% lower profile than a separate Mount and Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section. Ultra-lightweight MOUNT-N-SLOT design weighs only .XXX ounces. Over 65% less than a separate Hand Stop Mount and Picatinny MIL-Spec 1913 Bolt-on Rail Section.

Micro-Adjustable mounting allows the operator to mount anywhere through any KeyMod Slot on the firearm hand guard.

CNC Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum; Hard anodized Type III matte finish per MIL-A-8625F.
