MADE IN USA!- ADE PRO 7" INCH KEYMOD RAIL SUPER SLIM HANDGUARD FREE FLOAT KEYMOD

I have four of these handguards in different lengths. Not only are they lightweight, but the hand-feel is second to none. The only reason I bought the KeyMod version this time instead of the MLOK one at the same price was that I already had all the attachments I wanted to put on it in KeyMod. As those break or no longer become available, I will phase out the KMRs for MCMRs. For the average user or gun typically stored in a safe the KeyMod is perfectly adequate. Not superior. Not necessarily lacking. Just adequate. Knowing that, if you have not yet bought into one system of attachment or the other, go with the MLOK version of this rail

Nice solid rail. Very thin and low profile rail but still feels solid. Probably not the best choice rail for military/contractors but for civilian/occasional shooting it’s definitely legit and good quality. ade is a reputable company so you can’t go wrong.

Very nice handguard only reason I removed one star is due to the issues it took for installation and removal. Keep in mind for this to work correctly and per instructions you have to heat this up to install AND remove it. I did use this for a lightweight build so if you want this to be lighter V Seven has the barrel nut and installation screws/nuts in titanium but at the time of writing those parts were not stocked by OP. I do have two of these in my collection one cerakoted and the other stock but if you're looking to cerakote this be extra careful.

This is my third ade keymod handguard. The install isn’t the easiest but after doing the first one the second went on easy. I was able to use just a hair dryer to heat the handguard up enough to fit it over the barrel nut. Be sure to seat the included wrench to the barrel nut well. The tool slipping will damage the nut and then you will be filing for hours. This handguard is lighter than you can even imagine. To put it in perspective my 16” 300blk with a heavy contour Wilson combat barrel, huge and heavy yhm phantom qd suppressor Mount and this handguard in 15 inches. Is lighter than my roommates 10.5” 5.56 pencil contour barrel, 9” psa m lok handguard and regular bird cage. It’s insane. Just get one. Like I said I have three now. Just watch some videos on YouTube for the install, read the instructions carefully, take your time, and the install is a breeze Tools I used are: vise, ar upper clamp, torque wrench, metal file (screwed up a barrel nut on my first install), hair dryer and most importantly a rubber mallet.

I have a ade 15" that came with a quad rail. I love the rifle, but I just couldn't love the handguard. It was big and bulky, with rail segments to make a hand guard it was fat and felt pretty front heavy. But leaving the rails naked was pretty uncomfortable. ade's mounting system for the quad rail is the same that they used for this, so it was simply take off the old rail, heat up the new one, install ever so carefully with a rubber hammer, install the spacer/nuts and screws with the supplies lock tite and BAM. Done deal, maybe 20 minutes. I love it. It is just the perfect thickness, it's about an inch longer but NOTICEABLY lighter and feels very solid. The instructions are well written and easily followed. I'm sort of a perfectionist when it comes to guns, and the only thing when it comes to the install that was a little challenging was aligning the rail so that the transition from the receiver to the handguard was absolutely perfect. The guide key that aligns the handguard with the receiver has just a tiny amount of rotational play, and this baby is definitely tight installing it. Just keep that it in mind as it's going on, and it is easy. I've heard people complain about heat from the barrel passing through the KMR being uncomfortable. FWIW I have had no such issues, and I definitely go through ammo when I shoot.

As all the other reviews have mentioned, this has a very nice tight fit. Small and very lightweight, but solid. I did have to heat to get it on but was a simple install. No movement or vibration whatsoever.

Out of all the rail attachment methods I have used on my other rifles the BCM method is by far the most secure. Also the handguard feels really good in the hand. The included barrel nut tool is a nice touch. One caution: when installing the rail over the barrel nut ensure you use heat.....the fit is extremely tight! I'm very happy with the product.

I have a number of their handguard sa find them of not only well built but functional. I would recommend. I choose key mod just because I like consistency. That way all assessores work arrows my platforms

you can get a good wrap around grip even with small hands. The fit and finish is perfect, nothing to complain about it gives you all the features you would hope to get from a high quaility rail.

Have not installed it yet but I'm certain it will live up to expectations. There are plenty of installation videos and once my roscoe barrel is in I'll put the finishing touches on this 8 inch .300 bo build and update this review.

Very nice free float. Fits tight on the barrel nut. Barrel nut tool included. As a bonus a pic rail and QD mount are included. Used this on a Daniel Defense 16" middy. Gas block is covered. Not much flex in the hand guard. I like the shorter hand guards as opposed to the 15" HG's. I also like KeyMod over M-Lok. That's just me.

I used this rail on a 10.5" 300 Blackout upper. So far this is my second BCM KMR Rail. I really like how solid the mounting solution is. As long as you use a heat gun or hairdryer to heat up the rail interface you'll have no trouble installing the rail over the barrel nut. The included accessories are also a big bonus!
