March 4, 2014 – BCM is happy to announce that the BCM KMR-13 and KMR-10 handguards are now available for sale as individual components and as complete upper receiver groups. The KMR represents the lightest modular handguard currently on the market.
Weighing in at just 7.7 oz (including the handguard and all mounting hardware) the KMR-13 is built from a exclusive blended aluminum-magnesium alloy and features a proprietary finish originally developed for the Aerospace industry. The finish is created via a plasma deposition process that creates a stabilized ceramic-like surface coating with superior wearwhen compared to anodize or even hard chrome. The stabilized nature of the coating means it has a higher corrosion resistance as well, due to the lack of ‘pores’ in the surface.
The BCM KMR also allows for a larger range of modularity offering 4 different offset mounting positions between traditional 3,6,9, and 12:00 positions.
Mike Pannone, an instructor from the BCM Gunfighter program, had this to say about the new KMR platform. “The new BCM KMR (Key Mod Rail forend) is by far my favorite free-float forend choice. I particularly like and appreciate the weight savings and the slim, smooth and uncluttered profile of the KMR magnesium/aluminum forend. There are others out there that take the same approach but none have succeeded at the level BCM has. The weight makes the rifle fast from target to target and easy to stop when it gets there and the slim and smooth tube has only rails or attachment points where I need them. I am a minimalist when it comes to accessories and I am a firm believer in “less is more” when we are talking about things bolted to the front of my rifle.”

I love my 10″ KMR equipped pistol, ordered the full upper the morning they first hit the website. My 13″ KMR should be in my hands and on my 16″ BHF upper this afternoon. Once again BCM has hit another one out of the park, I don’t have any first hand experience with their comps but everything else they make I have on my rifles and love it.
