BCM's new KMR-A is out (on their RECCE Rifles)

[C4IGrant]

Only 3 oz??? 3 oz is a ton. They will be in the middle of the lightweight competition price and weight wise. Not the place I'd want to be if I wanted to save KeyMod. ML appeals to the masses because it is idiot proof and plastic accessories are cheaper than metal ones. If BCM wants to compete at that price point they should consider building an MLR rail.

I guess 3oz is a lot if your a weight nazi. I am not so it is minimal. You want to know what is a "ton." $80 dollars! That's how much cost difference there.

ML is for sure not idiot proof and I quite honestly find ML harder to install than keymod. There are polymer rail for keymod (FYI).

Do they still plan on having the original KMR?

Yes.

Bravo Company has their upper receivers with the KMR-A up on their web site. Says they'll be available in November.

Those savings translate to the stand alone uppers too which is nice when considering their discounted BCG...MY BCM 11.5 / 10" KMR has really won me over.

It's actually closer to an extra 5.82oz.

3oz for the KMR & 2.82oz for the extra $80 in your wallet.

This made me laugh, plus it is true, which is a nice plus.

Putting that degree to work?

I have two original KMRs and the price is a huge boner killer, not to mention the finish sucks. That "space age miracle cure ceramic like" crap scratches like a fresh coat of krylon. I'd gladly take the 3oz (or 5.82) and $80 AND a hard anodized finish that doesn't suck.

And seriously, how can anyone argue that keymod isn't super simple? If you can screw up keymod mounts, maybe you ought not play with firearms?

- BCM will keep their magnesium alloy KMR's, and production should pick back up before the end of the year.
- Stupid people like a lot of things, it means nothing as long as people are still buying KeyMod, which they are. People still buy Bushmaster, but BCM isn't hurting....
- It's like you didn't even try to price anything.

Magpul M-LOK MVG; $22.95 MSRP
BCM KeyMod Mod 3 VFG; $21.00 MSRP

Magpul M-LOK AFG; $26.95 MSRP
BCM KeyMod KAG; $21.00 MSRP

Magpul M-LOK QD Sling Mount; $19.95 MSRP
BCM KeyMod QD Sling Mount; $17.95 MSRP

19" of Magpul M-LOK Rail Covers; $15.95 MSRP
27.5" of BCM KeyMod Rail Covers; $9.95 MSRP

Pricing is a toss-up. BCM nylon rail section are $3 more than Magpul M-LOK polymer rail sections. Their aluminum sections are equal to, or a couple bucks more, than Magpul. Magpul's light mounts are $35 for polymer, $53 for aluminum. All of BCM's aluminum mounts are $45 MSRP, $40 retail.

Don't look past the fact that the KM QD Sling mount is included in the lower price.

I'd have bought one instead of the SMR if anyone had them in stock, so this is probably a smart move on BCM's part.
