I’ve beat it to death here on TTAG and beyond, but I’ll say it once more. I have small hands. As it goes, a lot of AR hand guards, especially the quad rail variety, feel bulky and huge in my little hands. For the last year or so, I’ve been in love with a BCM KMR for my EDC AR for two reasons. First, it is light as all hell, and second, it is pleasantly svelte. As if they’d heard my tortured screams, Seekins has released the NOXs in an attempt to woo me away from my beloved KMR. I got the opportunity to fondle it for the better part of fifteen minutes at SHOT…
Seekins new rail sports an outside diameter of 1.5″, an inside width of 1.3″ and comes in 9″, 12″, and 15″ lengths. M-Lok and Key Mod are both available and range in price from $159 for the shorties to $179 for the long version. The long version tips the scales at 11.8 oz, just a touch more than BCM’s KMR.
Mounting is accomplished through a cross slot, clamping mechanism that I favor quite a bit when used in various other applications. I’ve asked very nicely for one to beat on, and I got a flirty wink in return, so you should see a full review gracing these pages in the next few months.
