New Noveske NSR rail!

[Koshinn]

i got the Noveske TRX stud too.

This is the best solution imo. Works very well, almost as if it was designed that way...

You just flip both the locking plate and the washer upside down and it fits perfectly into the large hole of a keymod section.

With bipod and mag, my rifle weighs 10 lbs now... 11 with the sdn6 whenever it comes in the mail

They are molded 'bent'.
And yes, gloves for me as well.

The long single piece cover is too long for the shortest NSR rail. I didn't want to cut it so ordered two more kits. All of the rear stops were molded "bent". They do not stay put.

If I cover all the keymod slots with the plastic handguards, will that have a large negative impact on cooling?

Well plastic won't conduct heat as well as metal so it will have a negative effect on heat dissipation. How much will depend on your weapon use and application.

I am also worried about air flow restriction actually. It's a combat carbine, planning on using it hard.

I put my SBR with NSR 9 through some intense firing the other day. I found that even with gloves, that rail gets pretty hot, so I did install the plastic covers. They slid on and locked without any problem. They seem pretty secure but I need to get back to the range to see how they hold up to firing and how hot they get.

I have installed 3 NSR's and all three required going just a hair over 80ft lbs.

Yep, I just installed a 13.5 FDE duracoated NSR on a Aero Precision upper and it required approx 80-90 ft lbs. This was after switching the Nut to the better fitting side too. I actually loosened it again after this and retorqued it to around 80 ft lbs and it lined up perfectly. Just letting others know what they're in store for

After some fairly sustained fire, the temp of the rail with covers was 140 degrees. Almost, but not quite, hot enough to need gloves. I think I'm going to be wearing them anyway.

Did yet another NSR the other day and this one was little different from the 80-90lb ones I've done before.
First side was a paltry 15-20lbs but would have been over 100lbs if I went to the next spot. Flipped the nut and got a nice 70lbs out of it - perfect. Wish they were all like that!

Is there still no word on anyone putting out a VFG for the NSR?
