I will always believe the test done by Crane as incomplete.
When I bought my KMRA railed upper, it was the only rail offered on the setup I was after, I took the chance on it and am very happy. I like both but currently only run a KMRA rail (working on getting a 14.5" middy pin and welded MCMR and KMRA twin set). Mlok and KM do the same job, and do it equally as well in my opinon. I am not pro-keymod, but facts must be pointed out. I also HATE the difficulty in securing the M-Lok accessories with the spinning nut.I think this is the biggest thing that anti-keymod people miss. However the real ones with the locating tab are as secure as any mounting system. The cheap accessories will not be as secure as Mlok. Unfortunately many accessories don't have this locking tab. If you have real key-mod accessories, with the locating raised area on the mounting surface, which drops into a key-mod hole, it is absolutely more positive than M-lok.
IIRC when the military did testing on both systems I believe they found MLOK accessories and rail sections to retain more securely when dropped as well as returning back to zero if taken off and reattached.Īs usual I also prefer the look of MLOK to the dick mod. I also admit i have not followed either system so my assertation on the topic may be erroneous. From an outsider who has invested in neither system TO ME that MLOK is the way most people and MFGs seem to be leaning. To answer your question though OP I would go mlok. It would have been for a 16" or 20" build though. You need those 150 picatinny slots, eh? You like that extra weight and cinder block feel? Cool beans.I almost picked up one of those "super cheese grader" DD rails, but the price on them is pretty stupid so I passed. I remember the general observation that, despite what Keymod brought to the table (primarily it allowed easy accessory attachment and thin, lightweight rails), it wasn't going to be enough for the US military to dump its heavy investment in Picatinny systems. I remember people making the wry observation that the most popular Keymod attachments were Picatinny rails. I remember general promises / hopes that accessory makers would get onboard with Keymod and a general lamentation that many popular accessories were only still available in Picatinny. I wouldn't buy anything Keymod anymore.When keymod came out, everyone said picatinny quad rails would drop off the face of the earth, yet companies continue to release quad rails and they continue to sellI don't remember "everybody" saying that at all, except MAYBE in the BCM and Geissele fanboy echo chamber threads. In a couple years it will pretty much be, "Hey, remember Keymod?" They will switch out for the latest sexy thing (that just so happens will likely be in M-LOK). That's because the guys who adopted Keymod over Picatinny are the same guys who chase the latest and greatest parts and accessories that supposedly are better in some way. With Picatinny and M-LOK now the de facto standards, the number of Keymod users is effectively maxed out at the present and will only dwindle with time. BCM found out they aren't Magpul and accessory makers have little incentive. Personally, I think Keymod is going to pretty much drop off the face of the earth, and sooner rather than later.
