For the same cash you can buy MLOK and not have pieces falling off your gun and sharp places to cut yourself. If someone gives you keymod for free. Yeah I'd agree. Otherwise its crap.

I completely agree with you and you’re right.I’ve read the report key mod is inferior . I don’t like Keymod nor do I own any Keymod rail . But the OP does and he is the one that has to carry the rifle and shoot it... not you... not me. 3 or 4 years ago All the cool guy internet dudes shot the heck out of the key mod systems and promoted them for various company’s with no issues. As soon as the military chose M-lock K mod was out. I just don’t really see that big of an issue if it’s not a duty rifle and it meets the wants/needs of the OP.
Keymod is so 2014
Well 2014 was better than 2020 in my book lol
all except the keymod part
If you want to go Keymod, better jump and get all the do dads you want. They might be harder to pick up later. Then again, people may dump them after they upgrade to Mlok.??
I understand what you mean about key mod. I like it, but for combat, tougher is better. Problem with a bunch of key mod was it started to come out of China. China makes crap. I kept stripping out the key mod nuts. Too heavy handed with the torque wrench. Had to learn to take a lighter touch approach.
I got a pistol in .45 GAP I will sell ya!! jk.

Some great deals to be had in KeyMod. TruPrep has Noveske KeyMod rails for under $150. If you don’t care about your attachment points, that’s a helluva deal on a high quality rail.
Simple answer is yes.
I see no reason to ditch my BCM Keymod hand guard. It is light and tough, and I don't hang a bunch of crap off my rifle anyway. It's all marketing. Magpul owns the patent to Mlok so they really put some advertising behind selling it. Kind of the same way that the 6.5CM is so much more popular than the .260 Rem. Just marketing hype.
I agree with CTS, My DD upper is keymod and its fantastic and I have no desire to change it just because its slowly becoming "obsolete". We've have a renaissance of AR attachments/accessories the last 10 years and plenty of them can be found for keymod. Yes, all future builds will be in 1913 or mlok, but variety is fun with ar's
