Bravo Company KMR Handguard! Lightweight KeyMod Innovation

Nobody in the firearms industry "developed" Keymod, we've been using it on warehouse shelving racks for DECADES… M-Lok > Keymod is every possible way.

I'm new to all this. don't smoke me too hard, but I wish there was a system that installs and locks up as reliably as this without key mod, maybe in MLOK? I know that would mean the director or RD (keymod creator) at BCM would have to hop into bed with magpul but I think I'm leaning towards MLOK more but on this rail…. any ideas help!

when you buy an upper from bcm and choose this handgaurd , is it pre-installed? and will they adjust the size to the barrel length you choose? im getting an 11.5 and perfer a 10 or 10.5 rail

Do they have one that will fit a mid-length with a 16" barrel?

what gas system is this 11.5 inch barrel running ?

what length barrel and hand guard is this?

Thank you, very informative. I'm having a hard time picking a new longer hand guard for my AR-15. The amount of selections can be over whelming.

great video! I wanted to ask you what size of torque bit did you use to torque the screws on the handguard? I know bcm send a torque wrench but I wanted to use a torque screwdriver like you did to torque the screws

Great video! Very helpful! What sling are you using with this rifle?

how do you compare the KeyMOd to the M-LoK?

Great video. One question I have though. BCM says the hand guard flares outward 1/4 inch on the 3 and 9 oclock position going to the muzzle end of the rifle. Wouldn't this cause a weapon light mounted on the side to not be inline with the barrel at all? Or is there something I am forgetting about?

Nice job fella.

I love mine!

I've always stumbled across some of your videos online, but only subscribed after watching this one and your explanation of Keymod. Great visuals, great explanations, great content. Thanks for doing what you do.

Hi this is urgent, what is the length of the Hand Guard on the AR laying on the table in the woods? Thanks!

With your experience in regards to the ar 15 platform do you believe that the forward assist is a must or is something that you can live without? Have you used in any type of situation and has it solves the problem?

I bought the KMR before seeing this video but this is a great overview of the KMR!

Is that a 14.5 gun it looks SBR

what tool was that you used to toque down the screws?? It was yellow in color.

I'm sorry I like the kmr but it's not priced at a "really good price" it's dam near 300 dollars and its personally i don't think it's as strong as aluminum. Considering I already chipped a piece of it while installing.. I was not being extremely aggressive with it. I was just trying to separate it from the upper.

Everyone except the 7 inch has been sold out for months, literally months. I emailed them and I was like why does it say you have complete uppers for sale with KMR's on them but not the KMR sold by itself and they said that they are currently only have them with complete uppers but that they update inventory everyday so keep checking back. Yea ima check back when I have been and ouve been sold out since october. My only thought is that they know how popular they are and that they can make extra money by selling it only with a complete upper and that people want it so bad theyll gladly spend 700 bucks just to get the KMR. Which I think is a little screwed up, but hey I just found 1 yesterday morning on Primary Arms.com! Finally got my 15''! So I am happy there, but unhappy with BCM as far as customer relations or service goes.

what kind of vise is that at 5:13?

What was the length of this hand guard? And I'm assuming the barrel is 16 inches?

Possibly a dumb question but with it being made from a a magnesium alloy is there any worry of it catching fire or combusting when finish where's off and exposed to open flame?

hey. what kind of iron sights are you running on that rifle?

Mine will be here tomorrow. Thanks for the demo. That always helps!

Would never buy this based alone on the fact they've plastered the huge, ugly, white lettering everywhere. Not gonna pay you to advertise for you. Sorry.

What a great vid! Since I spent my sons college savings on my Daniel defense lite rail, it's made it pretty tough for me to transition to a new rail because I could not help but slap my self everytime I would go to my garage and see it just sitting there. But I think I'm gonna have to go with this new rail. I love everything bravo company so to me it's almost like I'm doing our country a favor by purchasing bravo company since they hire vets! Thanks for the vid, and fuck anyone who dislikes this vid!

When will they be coming out with FDE color KMR ? When will they make a 12" KMR for a 14.5" Barrel ?

Where's the best place to pick up a BCM upper? Their own website or are there better deals elsewhere?

Very nice. I won't be replacing the CMR on my rifle, but I like this quite a bit.

What length is that upper? 14.5" with 13" handguards or is it shorter?

Stuck on whether to go with Midwest Industries' offering(great price & built in q.d. sockets is a nice touch) or this one. I'm looking to order in November(Black Friday?) so I'll have some time to decide. M-lok being around doesn't help either haha.

Very nice video… 

Excellent vid! Answered a lot of my questions by seeing the camera angles you used and your review of the product. I guess in time products will be released to directly attach to the keymod sections instead of having to add an accessory rail, that is a big factor for me as I like to limit the amount of attachment points and I think it looks awful when there is a stubby rail attached with an item attached to it

good job Twang, just built my first upper with a keymod 15" rail and a 18" fluted stainless barrel love it!! like you cant wait for more keymod accessories THERE SO LITE!!

Excellent video. Much more informative that what I am used to seeing.

thanks , I just ordered one based on this . I was worried about install

I like BCM. They make really good stuff and take the time to think things through. It makes their products reliable, rugged, and dependable.
I'm not interested in delicate "race guns," only "work" firearms that I know will function any time under any circumstance. BCM doesn't make the prettiest stuff out there but their stuff will "go to hell and back." 

I was too much in a rush and didn't heat the end of the barrel up before installing it to the barrel nut. Anyway, it scratched the inside of the barrel and I was wondering if this happened to you, would you be concerned? Thanks! Great video btw.

where are the new bcm keymod rail covers????  love my bcm  keymod but have been using noveske rail covers while waiting patiently for the bcm variants.

Best review I've seen on the kmr. Great job!
