Since I gain no advantage at this stage in my shooting from Key-Mod or M-Lok attachment features, I do consider weight, durability and heat transfer. I personally own an NSR equipped rifle and it is one of my frequent shooters at this time. I will say 110% that with my shooting volume of fire that rail gets too damn hot to handle at times without gloves. As far as durability looking at how the unit mounts to the weapon is key. Some are great for recreational rifles, some I would not chose to use for heavy critical use in prolonged environments and quite frankly there are others that I have not had the opportunity to try out for myself. Now if I look at the aesthetics aspect, I personally do not find the key-mod appealing. Even though I don't like the looks, it has not prevented me from running the NSR quite heavily. I will say that I have purchased several other rails since the NSR release and none have been key mod styled rails, however I do see the possibility of owning another one in the near future.
Do you use polymer covers for your nsr?
