It certainly is an interesting approach to the variety of mounting systems out there right now:

The hand guards that work with the new Enhanced Upper are called PQR and will be offered in 1913 Picatinny Quad Rail, KeyMod and the new M-LOK configuration as well. One question I know everyone will ask is…”What’s the internal diameter?”. According to AERO Precision the ID should be right around 1.8″ which is plenty large enough to accommodate a lot of suppressors and items such as the Noveske KX3, Primary Weapons Systems CQB, etc.

I like how some companies are going away from the need for an indexed barrel nut. Nothing on weight yet, but it looks like the handguard doesn't have any extra fat on it.

Reminds me of Mega's MKM. I like the concept - closer to the rigidity of a monolithic platform but maintains some modularity by allowing different rails.
