The Very Lightest and Thinest Rail System?

So I have been liking the new round type of rail systems that are real skinny in diameter as my Wife and Myself have very small hands and want a more ergonomic and smooth circular front rail to hold onto.

So what circular ones are the lightest. and durable. and small diameter.

And how to they feel compared to the keymod system.

I want to a few ars built soon..

Thanks, Dennis

I've used and owned the KMR, NSR, and SLR models. I like them all but all my rifle s wear NSR's now. Take it FWIW.
Did you add the pin to all your NSR rails.
My last one I bought a VLTOR receiver from ebay of all places and it had the pin hole already in it it was a very easy install.

I have an old 6 .8 that wears the old SWS style Noveske rail I had to drill that pinhole myself. I measured 3 times and used the drill press I didn't have access to a mill.

The NSR just feels like it's built better and for some reason it feels more natural in the hand. I don't know how exactly to describe it, but for sure the finish on the KMR is an issue and even though I know it's a very sturdy rail, to me the NSR feels more rugged. It's really tit for tat, they both are excellent rails. But I have no complaints with the NSR and only a tiny complaint with the KMR (finish flakes off easily)

Noveske also is a huge sponsor of 3-gun, and I try to support them as much as I can.

As far as the anti-rotation pin, I don't use it. I have no plans of drilling a hole in my upper.

I run Samson Mfg rails on my 3 Gun rifles and my personal rifles. Lightweight, small and less than $200.00. They have the option of keymod or standard....with rail attachments for both styles. I won't use anything else. They are my personal favorite..
