Not that he needs a white knight to defend him from keyboard commandos on the internet, but having met the man for a private sale I will say you’re barking up the wrong tree here.
If someone had zero accessories for either mounting option, I would go MLOK since it has wider adoption as well as current DOD contracts which will ensure a relative amount of “future proofing” whereas Keymod may go the way of the Dodo apart from the niche fanboys. That is important for the 95%” of NESers when mounting brackets can cost 20-50$ and “cool” flashlights and other crap can run several hundred per. Current R&D for new handguards are mostly MLOK, and part of this follows which standard won out for defense spending.
No peq 15 like Garand Thumb has? What a n00b build.
I was perfectly honest - for 95% of NESers it doesn't matter one bit if they go with keymod or m-lock. Now it's your turn to be honest - do you have a bunch of crap hanging off your rail just because it looks cool on a static range once a month?
i have 3 rifles with centurion handguards. mine were bought when quad rails were "in fashion," are 2 piece and were meant to be temporary until i decided on a one piece guard. several years later and many thousands of rounds, i still have them on the rifles.The original Centurion CMR....
Yes.
Well.... when the shtf CONUS....
GUESS I'LL DIE
I'm not sure if that meets the 14 minimum pieces of flair
This is the only way to survive:
RIP buddy... I don't see mlok lol
That was why mlok was invented. We didn’t have enough mounting locations for the rest of the flair.
With the change of the handguard likely comes a change of the barrel nut since all the different brands mentioned use different barrel nuts. This means removal of the gas block. Have you taken it all apart yet and found how aggressively YHM applied loctite and where? Lots of 600F red loctite can make disassembly a joy. Is the muzzle device pinned/welded making it impossible for assembly? Are you therefore limited to a handguard that works with the barrel nut you already have on the rifle?
Are you keeping your existing low profile gas block or changing? Not all low profiles are created equal and don't fit inside all handguards.
Two major connection methods for free float handguards, pressure and direct screw.

Sights are for people who can't shoot from the hip.I'm just a basic bitch. Light, sights, and a sling.
The posturing in this thread is interesting.
It's especially interesting because the positions staked out are f***en retarded.
Pick a side or gtfo of the thread. Lol
There is no side to pick. Either design will serve. But to counsel a builder seeking direction to adopt/mimic a passive-aggressive oppositional-defiance posture seems a tad nihilistic.

I had no idea that I liked men this much... I thought I only had the hots for @Roland Deschain but this is really eye-opening.I'm with Snacks on this issue. M-LOK is life, and Geissele rulez. Keymod is for people who stopped evolving in 2015. Oh, and cops. It's literally more gay than pink flip flops and drinking craft beer. If you spend money in 2019, and you go for keymod, you're the Yoda of gayness. And if it's not Geissele, it'll break on you after 3-4 gentle range trips, and will make you worship at the altar of pole smoking. You'll get banned from the straight pride parade for life, and they will make you shoot Glocks. That's how gay it is.
Come on we all lnow if SHTF bad enough CONUS everyone will be running around looking for Pre 1985 870s ,norinco AK’s and 10/22 with 30 round mags and couplers!There is no side to pick. Either design will serve. But to counsel a builder seeking direction to adopt/mimic a passive-aggressive oppositional-defiance posture seems a tad nihilistic.
Good on you for recognizing and rejecting authoritarian gear-queerism. A light and a sling (and presumably a rock-solid sighting system) will get you pretty much everywhere you need to go--within reason.
Let's all just hope the world stays reasonable.
Why does nobody have an opinion on which barrel / handguard length? Or that one all settled.
