These unique scales are easily installed on your KeyMod and add superior grip and heat protection, allowing you to take full advantage of the accuracy and stability offered by this revolutionary rail system. Our unique G10 RailScales® in Keymod are the perfect modification for your AR-15. Also, the KeyMod system did away with press nuts used in the Pic rail system, slightly reducing weight while also increasing the barrel’s ability to vent and cool.Īll that being said, stability and accuracy are nothing if you can’t get a good grip on your firearm, and that’s where RailScales comes into play. This allows for greater stability and accuracy. The KeyMod rail stays in a fixed 12 o’clock position, unlike the Pic rail which could be shifted to three, six, and nine. What ultimately was developed was the VIS A5 KM - the KeyMod system. The team went to work and the project eventually landed in the hands of the lead engineer of VLOTR - Eric Kincel. Enter The USMCĪlthough ideas for a lightweight, modular rail system has been in the works - at least mentally - at VLOTR Weapon Systems, the real impetus to develop the product that would become the KeyMod system would not come about until a request from the Marine Corp was submitted for an upper receiver that could still allow for the standard barrel cluster of the M164A rifle, but with greater accuracy, and ideally, less weight. A lighter weight version that maintained the versatility, standardization, and ease of use was being demanded by the marketplace. However, over time, barrel length, shooting styles, and the ability to add more and more weight via tactical accessories began to make the Pic rail more cumbersome than many people loved. The modular nature of the Pic rail led to a boom in popularity, recreational use, and custom modifications to firearms nationwide. It was designed to provide a standardized mounting platform that was primarily intended for use with rifle optics. In 1992, the US military, dissatisfied with rifle mounts being produced by domestic firearms manufacturers, tasked the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey with developing the MIL-STD-1913 - the rail that would become known as the Picatinny rail, or Pic rail. You may have heard the saying, “Necessity is the mother of all invention.” So if this is true, what was the need for a new type of rail system when there was already a pretty good one in existence and mass use?
