Lightweight mlok handguard that will fit keymo mount on a 10.5" barrel

[BoltActionAssault]

I have a 10" ALG EMR but it's about a 1/2" too long to allow they keymo to attach.

What are your favorite lightweight mlok handgaurds that are 9 to 9.5"?

Any objection to the 9 inch BCM MCMR?

I have the BCM MLOK 9 on a 10.5 inch Noveske barreled upper. My Sandman works fine so I would think that you should be good with a Keymo with that setup. I also have a Daniel Defense 10 inch MFR on an 11.5 barreled upper that works fine with the Sandman.

I'm partial to the BCM MCMRs now, which are rock solid. Before they existed, my favorite for 10.3/10.5" barrels was the 3rd Gen Midwest Industries 9.25" rail. I still like that they have two QD sockets per side and are lighter than the MCMR. I have one on my truck gun and don't see the point in replacing it.

If you have the proper tools and confidence in your abilities, I'd say to cut the existng rail down to the length you want and rock on. Touch up the newly exposed end with Aluminum Black and call it good.

How would I go about doing this and have it turn out looking like a pro did it?

Do you have any pictures of the MCMR?

Subscribing because I have a similar issue... and want to see how this turns out.

I carefully measured mine, cut it to length on a band saw, and then lightly sanded/polished it with an upright belt sander.

Not of a 9" MCMR on a 10.5" gun, but this is the 10" MCMR on my 11.5" gun:

What rail? V1, 2 or 3? What front sight? I would cut it with a chop saw, dress the edges with a needle file, mask off, lightly blast and touch up with a baked on finish. I wouldn't do it if I couldn't retain 1/8" full circumference ahead of the forward most slot. Where are you located?

Quick and dirty pic but here is a 9 inch MCMR on a 10.5 inch Noveske barrel with a Sandman S mounted to a Dead Air Flash Hider. Hope this helps you:

EMR v1. I have the cowitness mlok mount with a Mbus Pro on it. I'm in MN.

I don't have any blasting or baking tools. I'll have to measure clearance.

SLR rails are nice and they list exact lengths on their website

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I took the rail off and measured 9 25/32 from the back of the barrel nut to the start of the threads, so I think anything 9.75" or less will work.
