KeyMod was developed by VLTOR and released in 2012, so it had roughly three years to gain some traction before MAGPUL released its M-LOK system in 2015. Which is why all three types are manufactured and sold by Daniel Defense. But KeyMod, M-LOK, and Picatinny rails are all viable options for an AR rail. So, those using terms like “dying” or “dead” are referring to KeyMod’s status compared to that of its main competitor, the M-LOK rail.

There are also still plenty of accessories from many different manufacturers available for KeyMod rails. But is it true?įirst off, let’s be clear about one thing-there are plenty of firearms out there equipped with KeyMod rails, including the Daniel Defense DDM4ISR, so the rail system is not being called dying or dead by some because you can no longer find or buy it.
