Anyone else think M-LOK and Keymod suck?

[CountryGent]

This whole thread is most perplexing, in more than one way.

Ok.

So... I am officially lost here now.

And I'm not even drinking. Yet.

so are most people here

It seems the OP is saying... quadrails for manly men who don't have soft hands?
And M-lok/Keymod makes no sense because one gotta buy pic rails anyways? (Even though, there are direct mount accessories for these slots)

But... my argument? That people said the exact same crap about those free float tubes with holes drilled and tapped for rails that the users could add on

Remember those?

Mlok is where it's at for me...especially since I went to hand stops on all my ARs over VFGs... Two Words.... Rail Scales. Absolutely love them.
...and Bill Geissele makes a h3llova nice Mlok rail.

But you're not mounting optics to the handguard anyway, right.

..... you're not... right?

Lazer and lights are usually on the handguard.

As opposed to the above?

Or feeling like you're holding a cheese grater if you don't have rail covers..

But seriously though, there exist a great many products that directly mounts to keymod or m-lock slots without a rail...

Screw tacticool, zip ties and duct tape baby!

I'm having an absurdly hard time finding what I vividly remember being available in the 1990s... Its basically a vertical grip that direct mounted to the round handguard halves with a nut and a shaped plastic or metal insert that went on the inside of the half, and spread the load somewhat to the plastic and heat shield piece... Mandela effect?

Just realize your POA/POI can shift if you load up on a barricade or wall with your handguard or even cinching up into a sling.

Unless you have one of those special order monolithic freefloat handguards whose raised top rail is mounted to the flattop receiver
