The KeyMod standard is minimalistic and designed to be both universal and lightweight. And it uses counter-threaded screws and nuts that won’t back out on each other over time.Īs rifle accessories become not only more common but for many, requirements, a simpler mounting system is welcome news. Specifically, the way KeyMod indexes mounted accessories they can’t move backwards and fall out, not without first releasing the tension. KeyMod incorporates existing designs but refines them for the world of firearms. My goal is for the industry to make this system a standard working in parallel with the Picatinny rail not replacing it.” “The design is nothing major or earth shattering, it’s just something I thought was needed for the industry. I first introduced the KeyMod Tech data package to friends in the community, starting with Noveske.” “The concept has been bouncing around in my mind (and the Vltor offices) for a few years now and it’s finally become reality. It is designed to compliment, not replace, Picatinny rail systems. This allows the user to attach and remove accessories, like grips, sling points and rails without having to remove the KeyMod-bearing surface. KeyMod is designed to let an accessory pass through standard slots that are indexed on the interior wall.

The idea is that by allowing any company to use it without needing a license or having to pay for the rights, KeyMod can be an industry standard in the same way that Picatinny rails have become. Vltor is making the specifications open to anyone who wishes to incorporate the standard into their firearm furniture and accessories. Not necessarily the first of its kind, KeyMod is different in one major way: it’s free. Vltor has developed a fast-attach locking system for firearm accessories called the KeyMod system.
