Pic vs Keymod: should i switch?

That's a good point... I torqued it hand tight... I'll try and torque it to 30 ft pounds. It's aluminum. Thanks for the recommendation.

Did you torque it to 20 or 30ft/lbs? Is the MI rail section plastic or aluminum?

“Please note: Nylon/Polymer Picatinny rail sections are for NON-load bearing accessories only. For load bearing accessories, we recommend aluminum Picatinny rail sections. Do NOT exceed 20 in/lbs. when securing KeyMod™ Fasteners on Polymer accessories. Aluminum Picatinny rail sections may be torqued to 30 in/lbs”

You intended to say inch pounds correct?

I have the keymod and only have a Harris Bipod mounted via a single sling type stud. It has never loosened even with the leverage the bipod legs provide. It's torqued to 30-40 in lbs.
