The BCM KMR Alpha 13" handguard transforms standard AR-15 platforms with its lightweight aluminum construction and versatile KeyMod attachment system. This free-floating rail eliminates barrel contact for enhanced accuracy while providing multiple mounting points for accessories.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional quad rails that add unnecessary weight, the KMR Alpha uses strategic material removal and KeyMod slots to achieve a 30% weight reduction without sacrificing structural integrity. The free-floating design eliminates handguard-to-barrel contact that can affect precision, while the proprietary barrel nut system ensures rock-solid lockup. BCM's manufacturing tolerances maintain consistent zero even under rapid temperature changes.

Field testing demonstrates the KMR Alpha's ability to maintain zero through extended firing sessions and environmental extremes.
