New BCM Key Mod Rail Covers Review

The hand guard being cold is quite nice. Once it gets hot enough to cook bacon, however, is a different story

You went a little over board with covers bud

If you want to heat your barrel up faster and for longer yes stick these on your rifle..

Hey Sootch, Would You feel silly if i told you that BCM actually makes the same heat gaurds in the Flat Dark Earth Color!! Just wondering because its kinda silly to have a Flat Dark Earth colored grip and stock….. than buy black heat gaurds… Ill sace ya the trouble buddy…. here ya go :]

Tried these and they are thicker than Strike Industries V2 M LOK sectiions and seemed to easy to come loose. They are rough on the gripping surface than the textured V2 Strike ones and actually made the rails fatter because although they are radiused, they are thicker in the center. Thanks but no thanks!

I bet money my quad rail will hold up to the abuse … the same cannot be said about your keymod.. lift some weights sissy lol

What brand of angled foregrip is that??? Please help

They don’t fit Hera Arms keymod

OMG these are hard to take back off, but not nearly as hard as putting the BCM rail on! These feel really nice though.

Great Review. Thx Sootch

I know this is probably "beneath" a real steel shooter's accessory, but do these fit on airsoft spec keymod rails? I know there's a difference between military spec and airsoft spec, but I can't seem to find any keymod rails that are made for airsoft replicas.

Will this work on the ddm4v11?

Well thanks to this video I bought them and they work great! BCM has become one of my go to places for rifle parts. Keep the videos coming!

Is this a good for heat resistance? I have a fore grip on my ar but sometimes I tend to grab the rail. Just looking for a somewhat cool spot to grab onto.

thanks sootch00 ordering them now for my Daniel Defense V11.

that is one sexy ass keymod rail

Will these fit Airsoft rifles?

These rock. I will get some

Still have not got a answer yet on how they do with a mag dump say bump fire stock or fast as you can pull the trigger. Does it heat up to the point of needing gloves or melt?

These won't fit on EVERY keymod system, depending on what handguard you're running. Not talking down on BCM, whatsoever. Great company and great handguards. Just, buyer beware if you have an off brand rail system that isn't made to spec. The key mod holes may look the same, but the tolerances are off, and you will be quite disappointed when trying to install these on your handguard.

*WARNING* These don't not fit all keymod rails. Can end up being very disappointing and a waste of $9.99

has anybody had problems installing these.. I just received mine today for my 1st build and they just don't seem to go on at all

My rail only has keymod at the 3,6 and 9.  Do you think this system would work very well on that set up?

Does having the entire rail covered cause any heat issues? I like the way it looks also, I used vism individual keymod covers in a checker board patteren but Ive not gotten to shoot it yet and was wondering if a mag dump would leave the rail too hot to hold?

Those look nice. I've been looking for some covers for my MI keymod handguard. The MI only has slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, but I think it would still be nice. I'm not really concerned about heat because I never shoot sustained enough. I doubt most of the people complaining about it do either. Incredible that people are complaining about the price. $10 for a 5-pack of long ones is very reasonable and I'm sure cheaper than most covers.

Oh yeah !

Scootch, would you go keymod or mlok now in 2016? I really like the KMR, but it's looking like Magpul is throwing it's weight around the industry, and will make M lok the more common standard.

Thank you for the vids man. From GA

Why have a rail a kmr if that if you're gonna cover the whole thing..might as well get a cheapo n cover it w BCM panels lol

I have a 15" UTC rail and wonder how many packs I will need to cover it. I see that five pieces come in one pack. I'm thinking I would need five packs. that sound right?

do they ship to germany?

I've got a 15" UTG Pro keymod rail and I just ordered 3 packages, you suppose the three will be enough to cover everything leaving room for my Military Version Grip pod? Really enjoy your videos.. You young vets that think the grip pod is junk don't know life where there was no option for a bipod so don't laugh at us older folks when you see us at the range..

You seem to use and recommend the most expensive name brand items.

I just run a quad free float rail. I like the rigidity. I know a friend that bought one of those tiny Troy free float tubes and bent the snot out of it in CQB training. give me the big ugly rigid tanks anyday. I've got to be able to take my rifle through hell and back, and it still function. the yankee hill free float quad rail gives me that at a good price. but to each his own. for three gunners I could see the attraction to these.

$420 rail system on Amazon

Purchased these exact BCM rail covers when they first came out. Great covers for a great price, imo. Felt completely comfortable cutting these to size. I typically hesitate doing something like that for kits that suggest it but was comfortable doing so w/ this set simply because of the price – knew if I messed 'em up, it would be cheap to replace. 'course, I didn't mess them up because it was easy. 🙂

How does the aluminum rail add accuracy

I just wonder about the ventilation, do they cause heat build up in sustained fire situations?

Looks like an awesome handstop.

Like most BCM products, these are clearly well thought out.

Any upcoming reviews on BCM Keymod light mounts?

that is cool
thanks

not a fan of the way these look.

Cooling? Looks like you plugged almost all of the holes.

Nice video and review =)

You should only really put them where you need grip. Those extra holes help with heat dissipation.
