Ya, I was thinking the same thing.

I've never messed with Keymod but know I have had to do the same on some MLOK stuff. Assuming its the same principle.
Either way, poor CS from any company sucks. Whether its on a $17 part or a $1500 rifle. But especially on 1 $17 part when the easiest, most cost effective and sure way to please the client is to just send them another one to try out.
Industry Professional
If I list the companies we shoot pics for, I'm bragging. If I mention the industry connections, I'm bragging. If I mention publications, I'm bragging. If I mention military and/ or police careers, I'm showing off. If I give examples, I'm not fair. If I list qualifications I'm back to bragging. If I talk about correct nomenclature or for clarifications to help people, I'm a bad person and up to something. The list goes on and on. Heaven forbid I don't do one of those things, then I'm hiding the truth and people have suddenly discovered a secret.
I would hope I've helped people, but honestly there are times where its just not going to work for some individuals.

I was just discussing this reality with a co worker earlier. In the early days of internet forums, they would attract SME's who would gladly lend their expertise to those who asked. Saw this on motorcycle racing forums, martial arts forums, gun forums etc etc. Then, everyone became an expert. I recall an argument over riding technique once, between a lowly club level racer and the guy who was leading the points in AMA Superbike at the time. It was comical. After awhile the SME's just got tired of trying to educate those who think they know better and moved on. Back when I was an instructor on the race track my favorite retort from a student after being given a piece of instruction was "Well, I read on the internet....."

Show us a picture of it not fitting the KMR rail then show us a picture of the QD mount above the rail. (Side view) Verify that you are not trying to install it over the gas block.

Sure does look like it is right next to the gas block. One of downsides to KM and ML for me on middies compared to Pic, my support hand wants to be where the gas block is located and has forced me to come up creative solutions for placing scales, support controls, light and switch mounts.

Catch-22. Some people here are kinda like something I've observed in other places, Jesus Himself could personally descend from Heaven to craft each of them a rifle uniquely perfected to their personal needs and they'd bitch about him robbing them of the fun of complaint. Hang in there, man.
And please know that you HAVE helped, every so often I find myself asking "What Would Stick Do" when encountering a tough one. And if Roy Huntington calls and tells me he wants a writeup on that longslide 1911 I'm building... no diss to Ichiro Nagata intended but in that scenario I'd rather have you do the photography, or the two of you split the work.

It’s nowhere near the gas block, in fact it’s at the rear most part of the rail. If you look you can see some wear & tear from the built in QD mount in the rail on the very back of the rail, that’s why I wanted to install a Keymod mount so I wouldn’t wear out the built in QD in the rail.

I thought that was because they accused (two?) guys of firing full auto for xxxx rounds or massive volume outside of full auto fire, but he/they explicitly claimed to have very low round count on the barrels.
