KeyMod
open-in-new
<p>KeyMod is a universal interface system for firearm accessory components. The concept was first created by VLTOR Weapon Systems of Tucson, Arizona, and released through <a href="/facts/Noveske_Rifleworks/bmnxdt81">Noveske Rifleworks</a> of Grants Pass, Oregon, before being published <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open sourced</a> in the public domain for adoption by the entire firearms accessory industry. The name "KeyMod" was coined by Eric Kincel (then working for VLTOR Weapon Systems) following the naming trend of other VLTOR accessories with the suffix "Mod" meaning modular, and "Key" being a reference to the key-hole profile of the mounting slots. </p>
