B5 Systems’ Bravo Keymod Handguard is currently in production and shipping soon. The hand guard features a built in hand stop and heat shield, with slim profile ergonomics. This is only the second drop-in Keymod handguard to come to market and the first done in polymer.

Good option for a KISS carbine and a good price. $30 MSRP (according to their facebook page)

no me gusta, sorry.

Not saying anyone needs to love it and go buy it the second it comes out, but just sharing for AR related general discussion :slight_smile:

Good price point, and I like the concept, and for some who don’t need or want a free floated barrel, or who are on the fence about key mod set ups I think it will sell okay. May indeed pick one up myself to try since I myself am not totally sold on the key mod. Will be a cheap way to explore it from a company whose other products I have found to be very well made.

Now that is a cool keymod solution.

It looks to be a little slimmer than the magpul furniture. The molded hand stop at the front is nice too.

Neat. Ears with keymod slots that wrapped around the FSB like a cut out rail would be cool. Shoot, that gets me thinking, something like the centurion rifle length carbine cut out would be interesting.

Yea i know, just seems to “smooth” to me, but it does match the stock.

Ill be in for the carbine version on my 6920
thanks op

I’ll wait for the Magpul equivalent. :slight_smile:

IMO variety is always good thing. KeyMod or not I think the ergonomics is what makes this hand guard. Those that have used and at least handled the hand guard seem to like them. Either way you will be seeing a lot of these on the market as they will be offered as a factory option from several OEM’s.

Very clean looking handguard, seems like a great option for a KISS carbine.

Looks like a great way for someone to play around with keymod and avoid the expense.

I think it looks great and at $30 might as well try it.

Anyone run one of these yet? Any heads up on a mid-length?

I have one, I have no idea about a midlength.

I have. It’s a pretty slick little setup and, as you said, for $30 it’s a great option. Word on the street is the middy’s are in the works….

Review will be up soon.

That’s a sweet looking setup! Looking forward to the review.

Review’s up:

Nice review plouffedaddy. Is there any reason not to replace my moe handguards with the B5 offering? I’ve already replaced my moe stock for the B5 systems stock as I liked it better.

Ugh. I’m never a fan of advising folks on choosing between two good products. If you like the KeyMod system and prefer a more narrow grip then I suppose no. But, the MOE is a good product too so……?

But, for $30 it’s certainly worth trying out. Then sell whichever you don’t like as much for $20 and you’re only risking $10. That’s how I’d look at it.
