Most impressive is the low profile bipod attachment. One thing that I was really impressed with was the attachments that ODIN Works has made with the rail. You can screw the rail onto the barrel nut for further tuning then remove it again to tighten up the locking nut and then install the rail section again, making sure everything is tight. If all was done right, the top picatinny rail will form a monolithic rail across the top. Once everything is tight and the gas system is installed, the rail slides right down and attaches with 6 screws to the barrel nut. All of the hardware needed is included in the purchase of the rail, including an alignment rod for the gas tube port. The whole process was less than 15min with the proper tools like a vice and upper clamps and blocks. All I needed to do was spin on the new barrel nut, align it to the gas system and lock it down with a locking nut.

There are several ways to do this, all of which can be found on YouTube. With a delta ring rifle you will need to remove the delta ring.

Although the rifle I installed it on was not a delta ring style, so all I needed to do was spin off the old handguard and barrel nut. Installation of the ODIN Works rail system was actually a very easy to do. Other products are in the works, so keep an eye on their website for other product offerings. Their product line includes barrels, forend rail systems, KeyMod accessories and magazine release button extenders. A small company out of Boise, ID with just a total of 12 employees they make high quality small batch products. One such company making a remarkably light weight, well made KeyMod rail system is ODIN Works. I personally know several companies that are making KeyMod that is “soft” to the touch. Many say that KeyMod is sharp by the very nature of it. Soft edges can be done in milling or by media tumbling the rails once milled. In this day and age there are several ways to make sure that the KeyMod holes are smooth and not going to cut the user, or ruin a pair of gloves. One big point of contention for me is sharp edges on KeyMod holes. While all of them are basically the same in terms of function, what tends to set different companies apart is the little things. Now an open source standard, just about every company out there is making a KeyMod system. As we all know very well, KeyMod is here to stay.
