Delton echo keymod accessories6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() 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.
