Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but the introduction of Keymod, MLOK or other minimalist type systems have not rendered the MIL-STD-1913 quad rails obsolete, not useable, irrelevant, etc. Last I checked quad rails still work and I'd wager a large percentage of folks still run them despite them not being the flavor-of-the-month on the intrawebs. One of my favorite set-ups still sports a KAC URX II and I have no plans to ever change it out unless something catastrophic happens to it.

No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"
They can be heavy and clunky, but still have their virtues. Frankly, the death of the fixed Front Sight Post for modern handguard compatibility has me worried more than the death or non-death of the quad... there just aren't a lot of "Extended Carbine Length" handguards, no matter what accessory mount you favor, that extend past the gas block like a CASV but still have a slot for the FSB while still being short enough for use on 10.5"-11.5" builds anymore. (There is Midwest's MCTAR-20XG2, but it's 12.5"-and-longer, not so great for pistols and/or Mk 18-derived builds.)

I still have them, but only on one rifle. They may not be the cool, flavor of the month thing to have anymore, but they still get the job done just fine for me.

Have you looked at Centurion Arms? https://www.centurionarms.com/product-p/0609-cc.htm
Thanks--pricier than I'd like and not as flexible as a CASV, but it's an option to put on the Alternates List. OTOH, if any further Gremlins are built *I'm* not going to be the one footing the bill or doing the sourcing and building... well, maybe ONE more, but if it happens the GF was specific about "like mine but a right-handed version."
