New Noveske NSR rail!

[SteveL]

I have a couple questions.

1. Whats the width with rails attached on both sides?

2. Can anything be mounted at the 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 & 10:30 o'clock slots or was the capability deemed unnecessary?

3. I presume that the polymer components are being fabricated by TangoDown if so will they have a texture like there SCAR panels?

4. Will the KeyMod specs be available to other accessory makers, i.e. MagPul, IWC or will it remain proprietary?

5. Anything in th KeyMod VIS rumor?

Thanks.

I'm also interested in hearing the answers to these questions.

it's not just rumor. it'll be introduced as the VIS KM (key mod) series. when? i don't know.

Sent a email to Noveske, will post when/if they respond.

MM - How are they handling the rail/receiver integration with the VIS KM, the VIS removable lower section or the LMT MRP through the front, that is if your are allowed to talk about it and when might you post your preview/review of the NSR & VIS KM respectively.

Thanks.

Todd,
The rail attachments look totally bomber on how sturdy they are going to attach! Really looks bomb proof and rigid.

Are the inner plates on the rail attachments captured some how? Can we get a little more info on how they work/attach?

I have a couple questions.

1)The NSR is 1.48" and 1913 rail specs a minimum of .367", so 2.214". Rail sections are not final yet so that may change slightly.

2)Anything that can be mounted to a VTAC handguard should fit those slots. With the number of offset light mounts available I don't think it's needed.

3)We are doing the plastic. Texture should be pretty aggressive.

I don't have anything on 4 or 5 right now.

The hole location is same as SWS rail, correct? So I can just swap barrel nut and rail with current Vltor upper that has SWS rail?

Yes

The backing plate is actually a nut. The back side of the slot on the KeyMod has an angle cut, the nut has the same angle to center itself. The bottom of the screw will be staked after the nut is installed so it won't come off and get lost.

Big fan of Noveske, just got a Afghan upper. Although that key hole rail reminds me of my shelving units.

.

it's going to be similar to the current VIS in concept - just imagine the current VIS with keymod features instead of rails on the sides and bottom (except on the top, where it has the top rail).
no idea on when it'll be available for preview/review, sorry.

Any chance of a 10" rail in the future? I would love one of these on my theoretical 11.5" SBR build.

If they do this in a VIS and really get the weight down I would do this on ALL my rifles
