Pictured here is the DPMS low pattern handguard on a Smith & Wesson M&P10. This 12" handguard weighs in at 12.4 oz with the barrel nut. The 15" is 13.3oz. Each handguard comes with one five slot rail section. Like everything MI it is made in the USA and is backed by our lifetime warranty.
These will be shipping in two weeks.









Thank You,

So... frickin'... AWESOME!  



This rail is now my #1 pick for my M&P10 build up.  In a 15incher please.

Looks great!  

Can a bipod be mounted on this easily?  Is there a threaded hole on the bottom like on the SS Series for a bipod/sling stud?

You can mount anything easily.  That's the entire reasoning behind keymod.

I understand how the keymod system works; however, screwing a stud into the handguard is a lot simpler than bolting a keymod adapter to the handguard and then screwing the stud into that adapter.  A direct mount for the stud also puts the bipod closer to the bore.

A threaded hole on the bottom of the rail would be easy to add on my own, just want to know if it comes this way from the factory like their other rail.

If you want a screw in stud and insist on that as a major feature you will have to go with the SS model.  Thanks.

I had the same concerns and asked the same thing in this thread:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_121/636929_308_KeyMod_Handguards.html

I was pretty set on the SS rail, until MI made this announcement for this new keymod rail.

Essentially, what I was informed by another Arfer "SCW" is that the Noveske sling stud adapter made for Troy TRX rails fits nicely in a keymod slot!

We will be making these in both lengths 12 and 15 for all the current rifles we already support. I will be looking into some of the new platforms as well.

Great.

I have been waiting for my 15" Gen II to come in for the past 4 months.  Canada sux. They told me another 3 weeks. Why it takes so long to get it up here I have no idea.

Now you say there is a KeyMod version?  

Any way a Canadian can get their hands on a 15" DPMS Low Keymod ASAP ?   :)  My M&P 10 is naked.............

You will have to check with a company like brownells or anyone else who does the export paper work.
We do not send anything out of the U.S.A

Will you be making it for the Armalite AR-10? I was going to get the ss serise for my AR-10 till I saw the key mod rail.

The DPMS High Rail....the one they are making last I believe. I thought they would've made the high rail version first. Love MI stuff though

Thanks for yet another Tier I product!  Just received my DPMS 308 SS Key Mod rail!  Super easy to install (less than 30 minutes) everything lines up perfectly on my M&P10!

Very nice.  Maybe its the camera angle, but did you shorten your barrel?

Looks like a 15 inch hand guard on a 18 inch rifle.

It's a 14.5" barrel with AAC Blackout Suppressor mount pinned and welded, with the 12" rail.  I had my local barrel buy shorten the barrel for me and perm attach my mount.

If I could be so bold to make a suggestion to the engineers at MI…  I would eliminate the first series of slots closest to the magazine well.  The M&P10 barrel profile is very large and it it easy to get your finger on a hot barrel, if you weren't paying attention.

Thx,
