    FWIW, as an NSR owner, I'm happy to see additional Keymod offerings such as this and the URX 4. More adoption means more accessories and more variety and more competition. It's all win.

    FWIW, I agree with those who have posted they would like to see Keymod slots all the way around, with just a short bit of rail on the top at 12 o'clock. I run a X300U and BUIS at 12 o'clock and QD mounts and that's all. 5" of rail seems like it would be about perfect. Having built in QDs front and aft would be nice as well, but I understand opinion varies since you give up the more generic attachment point.

    The trouble with an interrupted rail in the top of a hand guard is the gas tube (or piston for those of you with them).

    The height of the upper doesn't allow for use of a 'standard' height pic-rail to be mounted at the 12 o'clock position without interfering with the gas tube. Thus the top accessory rails would become a proprietary component for that location only.

    New BCM rail

    .... did I miss the "fight" in this thread?

    An arbitrary number was given for the price based on BCM's previous pricing techniques, which someone in the know said wasn't possible.

    Ain't a thang, chicken wang.

    I'd still love to know the weight on the rail if anyone knows and can release such info. Looks like a solid contender in the KeyMod market.

    Since BCM are reading this thread also it seems, can the current NSR owners please chime in on what you like and think could be improved on ???

    They are trying to bring a product to market and I am sure they would appreciate input from current keymod rail owners. Lets try to make this a constructive thread. I know we all want more advanced gear, and this is a great time to throw your ideas and gripes around.

    Leave price off the table and who started what first.

    this makes perfect sense and i would assume in order to accomodate it would make the diameter of the tube quite large. that is the one thing the NSR has going for it. VERY slender. putting keymods on the 45's and keeping an extremely slender tube would seem next to impossible to me. you would have to open up the diameter to accomodate. but if it could be done...you would very much be on to something there.

    1. A barrel nut that doesn't have to be timed with the handguard

    2. An exterior anti-rotational tab

    3. 45 degree mounts. *Remedied by BCM & KAC

    4. FSB cut out versions (please)

    5. Many may want a heat shield. Not an issue for me

    Thinking....

    Besides those things I can't recall another improvement for my purposes. I could complain about a lack of a direct mount vert grip and similar other items but I am certain these are in the pipeline. Its just the industry catching up with this relatively new mounting method. Looking forward to the future.

    4. FSB cut out versions (please) including a 2 peice? this may require added weight.

    6. Keep it absolutely as narrow as possible

    That about sums it up! But I still would not call it a redefinition of tactical handguards. Just minor improvements.

    Don't suppose there's any chance for a DPMS AR10 version?

    BCM is known for making cheap worthless crap, so you should have no concerns at all when it comes to pricing. I'm guessing it should be under $99.

    If people don't understand the above as a sarcastic rant, at this point I really don't care. I'm tired of people cheerleading for the cheapest prices while demanding top of the line products.

    Paul, sorry for ranting in your thread brother, but this stuff reminds me over and over of the people who buy buy airsoft parts and complain they don't fit their Olympic Arms carbines. You gear is squared away, and I know you will price is where it needs to be. God bless you for having more patience than me tonight. Every time a new product is talked about it is the price or delivery date that people start bitching about.


    NN- It isn't your post in particular, but your comment is where these threads start to go downhill.
    A handguard is a piece of aluminum. There is no reason to charge 300-400 dollars for one no matter who made it.

    I do not skimp on parts for the rifles I have built. Having said that, I would never pay more than 200 for a handguard so I can see where he is coming from.
