Vector Optics KeyMod 5" Picatinny Rail Section (SCRAAM-24) — Add lights, lasers, grips & bipods anywhere on your KeyMod handguard
The Vector Optics KeyMod 5 Inch Picatinny Rail Section lets you place 1913-compatible accessories exactly where you need them on a KeyMod handguard. Machined from aluminum alloy with a durable matte-black finish, this five-inch segment creates a rock-solid base for weapon lights, laser modules, foregrips, bipods, and sling mounts. It ships with tools for fast installation and is designed for use on real-recoil firearms, not just training replicas. The slim profile and generous slot length give you flexible fore-aft positioning so you can tune ergonomics for prone, barricade, or standing work. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Real-World Applications
Lights & lasers at the perfect clock position
Mount a 1913-based light or laser exactly at 3, 6, or 9 o’clock for thumb-over-bore or tape-switch setups. The 5″ length offers generous adjustment to clear front sights, sling cups, and cable management.
Bipods, grips & sling hardware
Add a bipod for prone stability, a vertical or angled grip for control, or a Picatinny sling adapter—then fine-tune fore-aft placement to match your stance and balance.
Mission-specific layouts
Keep your base handguard lightweight and blank, then bolt on this rail only where you need accessory capability. Ideal for hunters, PCC/AR-15 competitors, or carbine users who reconfigure frequently.
