It works the same way as a lot of shelving and scaffolding. Kincel mentioned it was not originally intended to replace the 1913 rail, but some speculate it will. The lightweight and thin handguard uses a series of keyholes to mount accessories and rails. Noveske’s NSR handguard was first to adopt the new system. In collaboration between then General Manager of VLTOR Weapons Systems, Eric Kincel and Noveske Rifleworks, Noveske developed the KeyMod handguard. Officially announced to the public in July 2012, the KeyMod mounting system uses old principles to lock down rails and accessories.
