Many good details on the differences on m4c. Rich from Magpul even weighed in on their design decisions. Biggest issue is that keymod is very difficult to make work with polymer due to the angled cuts. And that same factor makes M-lock very strong even when implemented in aluminum. Just larger bearing surfaces, and a different type of bearing surface. (Beveled key vs flange behind the cut, etc.)
No slight to the keymod designers, I just don't think they were thinking as broadly. Nor for wide scale usage. (More niche usage)
