BCM KMR M-LOK late 2017

[Rogue556]

I'm sure there aren't any hard numbers just yet, but I'm curious if the MMR will be the same weight (or possibly lighter) than the KMR. I also wonder how light the QRF will be. A sub 10 oz picatinny rail would be awesome, though more than likely improbable. We shall see.

For those that are in-the-know, will MLOK mounts be available at 11 and 1 o'clock? I seem to recall something about MLOK that wouldn't allow that.

Short answer: don't know.
Long answer/speculation: The KMR is a small O.D. handguard. M-lok requires a certain amount of space for the slot and the surrounding flat for the m-lok slot. The KMR, if kept to the same overall O.D. as the Keymod version probably wont have enough room for M-lok slots/flats on the 45 degree angles. The ALG Defense EMR has M-lok at around 45 angles, but it is a larger diameter (~1.75" O.D.), and the flats are very minimal for M-lok. If you look at the slim Midwest Industries rails they just have M-lok at the 3, 6, and 9 I believe.

Excellent explanation of the merits of one system over another for your personal uses.

I thought so.

Midwest Industries actually has two versions, one with M-Lok at the 45s.

IMO the 10:30/1:30 flats on the KM KMR are all but useless for holding anything other than grip panels. I do run a QD sling cup at 10:30 on the receiver end but using it at 9 wouldn't change much.

Seriously?! That's an ideal spot for a light. Much better location than 3 or 9.
