This causes an issue with your accessory not locking in correctly and having the ability to slide loose. If is in backwards like the photo below it causes a slight space between the edge of the shoe and the end of the KeyMod slot, which you can see in the next photo. There should be no gap or space between these pieces. This allows for the backer nut, which I am going to refer to as the shoe because that is exactly what it looks like, to slide in then forward as far as possible so that the shoe rests in the machined slot that it is made to fit into. The photo below shows the proper orientation for the backer nut in relation to the KeyMod slot. KeyMod is obviously a larger hole that is connected to a smaller, longer slot with a half circle on the muzzle end. Please do not think that because I am doing a write up that KeyMod is complicated, because it is not, in fact it is probably simple enough that some folks are over thinking it. so I thought I would throw together a write up with some photos.

from high quality, impact resistant polymers. Textured in front and back for positive engagement Innovative patent pending attachment method allows for robust clamping and alignment with minimal hardware and slender accessory size Small profile is just enough to get repeatable hand position on weapon forend Slight angle without significant bulk adds just the right amount of relief to the wrist without substantially increasing the girth of the handguard Works as a rest for supported firing positions Textured on both front and back, the profile of the KAG creates a channel for consistent and positive engagement which translates directly into improved efficiency in weapons manipulation and target to target transitions.įorward rake gives positive retention when using 'C-clamp' (thumb over bore) method of handguard support The KAG is the end result of collaboration between BCM® and Travis Haley, founder of Haley Strategic Partners and inventor of multiple weapons manipulation enhancements in the firearms industry.ĭesigned to complement modern shooting grips, the Kinesthetic Angled Grip (KAG) uses a biomechanically efficient forward rake to create an interface for positive retention and joint relief to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, allowing for smooth weapon manipulation without substantial increase to the girth of the weapon system.
