The majority of the weight of the Keymod handguards is located in the mounting system right next to the upper receiver, which leads to an extremely balanced AR-15 platform. The SLR’s solid mounting platform combined with the comfort of its design in the users hand made this the best candidate for developing a Keymod system. The SLK’s look and feel was based on YHM’s Slim Light Rail (SLR), which was designed and introduced in 2013. YHM said that as the keymod mounting system gained its popularity, more and more of their customer base requested we develop and manufacture a handguard with this feature.

A forearm mounted bipod, or resting the forearm on sandbags etc. The SLR (Slim Light Rail) series of handguards were designed to address the two main customer requests regarding our other handguard models. In order to take maximum advantage of a free float forearm, the weapon should not rest on the barrel when shooting. The interference that occurs with a non-free floated setup is slightly different with every shot, which will cause the point of impact of the rifle to change on every shot. With a free floated barrel, the rifle will achieve peak accuracy as the barrel will not be interfered with in any way while shooting. In this configuration, it is the barrel that is free floated, and as such nothing is touching or interfering with the barrel while shooting. Free float forearms are forearms in which the only point of contact between the rifle and the forearm is at the barrel nut.
