All KMG’s feature BCM’s new patent pending Inverted KeyMod screw. Designed by Eric Kincel, BCM’s Director of Product Development and designer of the KeyMod system.

“We have been observing the rifle market for some time, and saw that there was a general lack of functional grip panels for the newer rail systems. We decided to design a product that would offer a true solution and when we partnered with BCM to utilize their proprietary KeyMod screw it was a no-brainer. Just another competitive advantage for us and a better product for the shooter.” -John VanZyck (President, VZ Inc.)
