Vltor VIS-KM (Keymod) - official release of information

[SpankMonkey]

MM thank you, this is pretty cool. Always like seeing new stuff. Any idea when the public release will be? Any idea on price yet?

[BigLarge]

Looks great!

I'm definitely liking the public domain part, good show Vltor! I still don't like the look of their brass deflector and forward assist chunky box, but you can't have everything.

agreed with all of that!

I would be interested in MUR+NSR for comparision weight as well.

Thanks for continuing to put out quality cutting edge products.

MUR+NSR 11" = 1 lb 4.1 oz (including barrel nut and screws)
MUR+NSR 13.5" = 1 lb 5.4 oz (including barrel nut and screws)

barrel nut + screw weight = 3.6 oz

Noveske will be getting the first quantity of VIS KMs...

I just noticed this statement. I guess I was told wrong by someone at Noveske

Hi Eric,

Thanks for making the prints available. It will speed up our R&D for sure!

IWC will be making a version of our RADIAL UNIVERSAL Light MOUNT-N-SLOT as well as the Haley Strategic DROPWING ADAPTIVE Light Mounts for the KeyMod system.

Plans call for product to be available in 8 weeks or less, with no price increase for the KeyMod products.

We really like this system and applaud the efforts of the Teams at VLTOR & NOVESKE who commercialized this design for firearms and chose to release it to the Industry.


Sincerely,

Earl Pittman - A.K.A. MOUNT-N-SLOT
Partner - IWC

so, do the heat shields just pop in and out?

[John W]

Right on guys! Thanks for sharing and I hope this takes off!

These look fantastic. Weight is the only thing I don't like about the VIS, so it's cool to see something lighter.

For those who haven't assembled an upper with a VIS before, they're about as easy as it gets.

The nut/wrench looks pretty similar to the URX nut and wrench. It will be interesting to see how they price the wrench/nuts in comparassion to Knights.

I have viewed monolithic rail systems as a way to limited a user's options. After all, you can't try out a different rail system or different length for that matter. You are stuck with what you have. However, this new keymod monolithic is so slick it may drive me to get one just for something different. I am looking forward to seeing one in person.
