    All I have are Picatinny and Keymod, I have no intentions on going to mlok anytime soon. What do I know, I still like the .40 and metal da/sa pistols. I guess I like oddball stuff.

    Keymod is still preferred in foreign countries (think Europe and South America) to MLOK. I have both, but still prefer quad rail.

    This. Mounting an MLok accessories have never been a problem for me.

    That said, I like quad rails better than any other hand guard, specifically LaRue and Centurion Arms and I’ve had a few Troy rails that have been GTG. They are just extremely solid and unlike other quad rails (BCM comes to mind, based on a another friends comments on his BCM rail the weekend before last when we were shooting.) With my LaRue or Centurions there is no flex. Also, I’m still not 100% sold on the MLok being stronger than picatinny. That just doesn’t make sense to me, but no doubt those guys at Crane are smarter than I am. I do have a couple of MLok rails where I chose to go with a more lightweight rail and the cost savings wasn’t a bad deal either. ($10/inch). Keymod never appealed to me, functionally or aesthetically.

    Keymod going away?

    I have both and have experienced the common complaints while mounting both. Mounting to MLOK may be more tedious if the nuts don’t bite right away, but I’ve never been under the false impression that something was mounted properly with it. I’ve had KeyMod accessories come off at least twice due to improper mounting, despite my belief that I’d done it correctly. So MLOK is harder to **** up. It’s also stronger and looks far better. I’ll take the potential of extra time when installing for all of that. The only reason I still have keymod is because my wife’s gun is the original KMR and that thing is light. I’ll probably replace it with an MCMR once she has a shorty upper so I only have two mounting systems instead of three.

    I've been looking at building a rifle with a BCM QRF, but have held off due in part to the lack of reviews that specific rail seems to have. Could you by chance share what issues your friend was experiencing? If the rail has issues with rigidity compared to similar rails I'd like to know.

    (I believe there is already a thread on the QRF without much first hand information, if you'd prefer to answer in that thread or via PM, I understand).

    Same here. I've been itching to try the BCM QRF too, but have too busy to think about a gun project.

    I JUST got my FIRST keymod rail a year & a half ago... and it's ALREADY going extinct?!?!

    Meh... I just got my first M-lok this summer - and already have it on three AR's and a Bren 805. I'll get used to these, and 10 years later, the new hotness then will supplant it, no doubt.

    I have one and I love how light it is with a V7 titanium barrel nut. My only issue is it has some pretty sharp edges, I wish they deburred it similar to LaRue's quad rails. But nothing rail covers can't solve.

    Key mod was cool when it was introduced. Ugly, but it worked.

    MLok came along and is better. It looks great, and it holds great. It benefited by learning from keymod.

    I find mlok easier to use. You just need to initially set the depth of the nut when new.

    I have two key mod rail from a sample of over 20. I’ll never buy another for any reason. Same said for accessories. I’m also not trying to sell them, they work fine and look fine as long as all the key mod holes are covered.

    Key mod is done, it’s just going to be a slow drawn out death as the companies that launched it try as they might to hold onto the investment they made.

    The market doesnt care what your personal preference is or how "difficult" it is to mount one thing over the other. It would be foolish to start investing into keymod now.
