    Noveske NSR vs Fortis REV?

    Anyone have both of these that can offer some objective comparison commentary?

    I've got a 13.5 NSr arriving tomorrow according to tracking but I can't help but be drawn to the fortis for some reason. Before I go and list a for sale or for trade ad, thought I should see if anyone has any input.

    How well do they both lock up?
    Any differences in feel and handling?
    Are the qd points on the fortis just as nice as the add on piece for the NSR?

    Yes and no. One is a tube and one is a hybrid but otherwise they both share the key-mod system.

    Huh?

    Hundreds of different rails share picatinny, soon hundreds will share KeyMod. What's your point?

    There is NOTHING similar about these two rails.

    So you are saying that no constructive contrasts/comparisons can be made?

    What do YOU need from the rail? What does the tool/mission require?
    The choice should be clear once you nail that down. Do you need tons of uninterrupted picatinny space? Do you need built in symmetrical QD sockets? Do you want fat? Thin?

    Not yet. Other than T&E examples, I think there are only 100 Fortis rails out there right now.

    I have owned a Fortis for about a week. I've shot a couple rifles with NSR's. I far prefer the feel of the "tube" style handguard vs. an almost quad rail like the Fortis.

    Me too. Once I got my first NSR, the search was over. The DDs and TROYs got sold.

    I don't plan to hang lots of stuff off it. I do use a qd attachment for a 2 point sling. I might attach a light but that would be it other than a forward BUIS.

    I do like the key-mod hand covers though. I think the use of stock barrel nut, built in qd points front and rear and key-mod side panels are what interest me in the fortis.

    Price would be another consideration since I could probably pre-order two fortis rev's for what my NSR would bring on tos. Just a thought but not a decision making factor mind you.
