Pre-order Samson MLOK Evolution Rails

Toecheese, good observations. If I understand correctly you are saying either QD could potentially become stripped. This is very true. While in either case, in the field, the operator may be left without a functioning sling, at least with the latter he/she could replace the socket afterwards without any permanent effect on the function of the rail. With an integrated QD you could still always add another section, you would still be left with a fixed socket that is no use.

On the barrel nut issue, I totally understand the advantage to having a barrel nut which does not require proper “timing” with the UR or gas tube. However, All of the manufacturers we supply have/use/make mllspec barrel nuts which makes our rail an very big advantage to them in terms of assembly efficiency. We can be “added” to their rifle as an offering with little interruption to their existing operation. Also, the vast majority of rifles on the market still utilize a milspec barrel nut making it easier for people with less know how to add our accessories. Some users for whatever reason are uncomfortable or are prevented by SOP (LE/MIL) from changing gas system or barrel nut. Our Evolution line and even more so our STAR line allows them to upgrade without changing any of this.

Thank you for the input!

MY agency requires std barrel nut.

And, I don’t see somebody stripping out a steel QD cup from an MLOK attachment. I have personally stripped an aluminum QD receiver end plate. QD attachment was fine. I switched to a steel end plate and I think I could hang from it if I had to.

This is a solid looking rail. Especially now that it has the third, knurled-cup-tip locking set screw that bears directly onto the heat sink pieces.

My Rainier Arms EVO version was absolutely rock solid in lockup. All the people on the interwebz who have had issues with the lockup reversed the proper orientation of the heat sink halves.

EDIT: I run a BCM KMR now.
