Lighter weight, better mounting and QD.

Dumb question: Anyone know of anybody making a direct connect handstop for the SMR Mk1?

IWC has one that will mount directly....I'm not sure exactly which MOE model works the best however. I would just contact IWS directly and ask them which model works the best.
This is a quote from IWC from awhile ago...
"We haven't updated the site for SMR's yet. In the meantime, order this: Weapon Control Hand Stop and select ANY of the MOE handguards. You'll get our revised handstop that bolt directly to G-SMR's without any gap, wobble or rails required.

Ah. Excellent. What I get for shifting my attention elsewhere for a while. Much thanks!

+1 on this. I hope the keymod goes all the way to the end, and basically like you said, on 7 sides like the URX4.
If I want rails on the end, I can just put them there.

Next time I see him I'll pass along the word. Appreciate the feedback.

Lightweight is fine. I want the wings!!!!

I too was a really big fan of the full wings on the first Mk1 models......for every other model, I think moving to a more lightweight wing/anti rotation design is a positive move.
The Mk1 in my eyes is the no expense spared (steel inserted attachment screw holes ), truly bombproof FF rail. It's original design has a direct lineage to the HK GA SMR rail that was designed for the hardest of uses. That made it very unique in my book.
The thing I don't like about the first Mk1/Mk2s...which has since been addressed in the current design, is the protruding cross bolt heads. They are not really streamlined into the design at all like they currently are on all SMR models.

Geissele 13" SMR MK1 Mod 1, low profile Super Gas Block, and SSA trigger. Very light setup. I'll have to weigh it next time I'm near a scale.
