    Almost any extrusion that works for Keymod will work for M-LOK, simply by cutting M-LOK slots instead of the keymod holes. The flat space and backside requirements are almost identical.

    Either mounting system is probably more than adequate.... so in my amature opinion its money and weight.... Keymod will be tough to beat on either.
    The M-LOK cut out is larger, so it will win there in just a plain rail weight. Then add the fact they will be able to use polymer accessories, another win in weight.

    Money? I'm pretty sure as long as Geissele isn't the only one thats going to do it, the pricing will be the same as far as rails go and of course the polymer accessories will be a lot cheaper. Key Mod was promised, there would be direct mounting accessories. Instead there is very few and they very expensive, so people just buy a rail(also expensive) and mount a polymer accessory.

    The writing is on the wall.

    I find it to be more aesthetically pleasing than Keymod, but that isn't what I make my primary reason for purchase.

    I'm confused why you think there aren't polymer accessories for KeyMod.

    What keymod direct mount accessories do you want that don't currently exist or at least aren't just about to exist (bcm's vfg)?

    I guess a direct mount bipod would be neat. But that's all I can think of that I'd want.

    VERY interesting development, esp with Mapgul's influence in the market place, and their adaptability with previous accessories. Looks like use of new system with old MOE may not happen, but use of the millions of Magpul accessories already out there is possible. Add in the no-fee licensing, and Magpul's relationship with other manufacturers and we will see this widespread soon. Magoul makes good stuff, but where they really excel is marketing!

    Rail panels sure I guess.

    The angled grip is the Noveske rail panel, which is a pain to install. Then there is the IWC $35 one, so the price of of a AFG.

    Because 'Murrica.

    Some accessories like 45° offsets don't work on both sides of a keymod rail. Luckily, many find a way around this problem, but they usually increase complexity.
