    I like my NSR Panels on my NSR Handguard, they work fine for me. On your recommendation I'll try some MI panels on a KMR and see if they are "that good".

    every one laughs but i put skate board grip tape on the bottom of my free float rails.

    it's about as cheap as you can get and completely non slip.

    I have Midwest Industries panels on 4 KMR rails, they secure snugly and are very low profile - the KMR isn't too thick with them on 3 sides. I really prefer MI panels to running the rails bare, as they heat up quickly on a rapid firing schedule in the summer heat. Also it allows me to put a thumbstop where I need it without adding weight.

    I'm not laughing, I do something similar. I put grip tape on the front strap of uncheckered 1911s, on the magwell of my ARs, and on areas where grip is a bit important. I think that it's one of the best little secrets in the shooting industry.

    Just remember to wipe the area you want to apply the skateboard tape to with rubbing alcohol first to create an oil free adhering surface.

    I have the MI panels and am very happy with them.
    Not being a very smart/mechanical guy, I had early trouble trying to get the damn things on, but after I figured the first one out, the rest went quickly.

    If you buy black ones and don't like them, I will give you the used market price for them (no handstop)

    I don't say this because I'm trying to sell you on the MI panels, just letting you know I'll take them off your hands if you want to get rid of them.

    Yep. I've tried them all and MI are hands down the best.

    Have you (or anybody) tried the BCM angled panels or have those even been released to the market yet? They have been out of stock forever and I'm just curious if it's a concept or if it's reality?

    I haven't tried those but they haven't been released yet. The MI ones are going to be hard to beat though. These are the only MI products I own but they are nice. The MI keymod rail looks great too but I've never handled on in person.
