Strike Industries AK Keymod Rail
The Keymod system, a standardized method to attach accessories to rifle fore-ends without the need for picatinny rails, was first unveiled at last year’s SHOT Show and later open sourced by VLTOR allowing any manufacture to make KeyMod accessories. Strike Industries has developed what might be the first Keymod fore-end/rail for the AK platform. One of the main advantages of the KeyMod system is that is allows very slim rails, as you can see in the above photo.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Hmm, the upper rail doesn't appear to be low enough to co-witness with an AP Micro. However, I like seeing keymods on rails.
I put a rails on my ak so I could waste ammo with a secure fore grip and a slidefire/bumpski stock.
