Aside from a few Oz saved I'm not sure why quad ever went out of "style". I prefer the larger profile, more surface area to grip and the rail gives better grip. Personally I love the looks of quad vs and key or M. I wish more companies made quality quad rails, especially for the ar10.

Why are quadrails making a comeback?

My first AR was in 2010 when I turned 18, an LMT Piston CQB 16… still have it and been #TeamQuadSquad ever since with the others I’ve added.
Demanding that a person "answer the question" is totally childish.
This is the Hide. Nothing, and I mean nothing ever stays on topic.
It's whatever. I have MLok, Pic, and KeyMod [DickMod].
OP: to guard your hand from getting tore-up from the handguard, get handguard guards to guard hands from the handguards.
Also, stop being poor.

I myself used to wonder about such things.….. then I remembered that some men bang other guys and drive ford trucks…...
Some men prefer girth… some length…. Ford truck drivers prefer both…
I prefer quad rails with covers as I have big dick beaters and a MLOk slim rail feels as bout as manly as dudes driving the same f150 my wife does… it hauls grocery’s nicely I will say.
It blows my mind guys even open their mouths… their rails are “snaggie”… lol
Certain items like knifes and quad rails work better for what they do cutting/attaching things unsheathed.. but when you carry them you don’t do so by the bare blade/handguard

Pro tip of the day:
The spacing of a picatinny slot fits very nicely on the lip of a 55 gallon oil drum if you need to drop to a knee behind said drum right quick to take a shot. Press downward on the handguard and you'll have no recoil for a controlled pair
OMG. With this info you just know there will be an adapter made which is; a single pic slot, that attaches to an arca rail, which is attached via mlok to a handguard. Pro f’n gamer!!Pro tip of the day:

It would never work. I’d have to remove my snaggie, ouchie, hand hurtie rail covers to mount that rim

We lost the GWOT
My recent experiences going through TSA checks at airports prove that.
I do like the latest gear, but there's no fucking way that I'm going to haul a 55 gal drum around with me, even if it's empty.Pro tip of the day:

So the irony is; there are M-lok slots and he used them to mount 1913 pic rail...
I have a quad rail that came in a box of parts I bought, along with a detachable carry handle and vertical forward grip. I've been wanting to do a build just around those parts, just because all I've ever had was free floating M-lok handguards.
Won't comment on your rocks, but did you drag that driftwood home just to pose guns on for pictures?Only heavier.
nothing against them, but quad rails never did anything for me. I actually preferred the old hand guards, and even ‘backdated’ my issued M4 and GUU-5P to the old carbine hand guards (being the boss had its perks). Never looked back once I retired and started building them for myself.
Prefer a slimmer, round(ish) hand guard, with mlok or keymod slots (I’m agnostic) to put stuff where I need it, and nothing more.
For example:
Or old school magpul hand guards and a FSB:
An SBR’d set I built for my son:
…or even without a FSB! And yes, I had to mill down the back of the gas block to get the gas port to align properly with that hand guard for my daughter’s rifle:
And sometimes with no mounting options at all, LoL…
Came from our property up by Canyon Lake. The wife liked the way it looked, so dragged it home (along with a few others) to put in one of the beds.
Where did you get that case for the one AR? Looks cherry.Only heavier.

It's fashion. Some tool on instagram who has a "special" forces background (real or imagined) says you need one and boom
Probably because of the clone craze
I pretty much gave up on my mk12 mod 1 rail search, 800 dollars for a rail fuck me

I mean, the only thing that separates the fashion world from the gun world is at least firearms have more purpose and/or can be used for more things. Operators gonna operate
Quad rails are coming back because American men everywhere are rediscovering that fine cheeses, freshly grated, reinvigorate tactical lunchtime snacks!
Gentlemen, for example this quad rail muzzle brake is coming back any day now. It sears (& smokes) your various meats while you operate, plus it will go swimmingly with your fashion-forward and on-point snazzy quad rails on your handguard!
After your meats are smoked, use your handguard to grate some grana padano so fine your mother-in-law will never come back!
Matchy-matchy!
As a commenter said when seeing this excellent piece, “Somebody dial zero...because this is so operator.”

Do pick one up, dahlings.

Muzzle Brake with Picatinny Rails?
Here’s one from the “What the &%$%$ were they thinking” category.Tufforce, a company that I am not familiar with prior to this post, is offering a muzzle device completed with picatinny rails across the 12, 3, 6, & 9 o’clock positions.

I look forward to quads coming back, I never bought into the mlok. Frankly just when I ”discovered” Keymod it was going out. My Keymod stuff doesn’t loosen much but my quad never losens. I hope DD makes their light rail for large frames again, I’m buying two if they do.
You might be surprised, but the Magpul bipod can be had with a mlok attachment.
I would argue in my Mick Dundee voice, "that's not a bipod". What I mean is you don't see B&T using an ADM QD MLOK adapter, if such an animal exists.
PWS makes a proprietary rail they call PicLok. I wish they made it for not only their other rifles, but for all rifles.
On the muzzle end, one can use the built-in flush picatinny mounts or bolt mlok right to them using the mlok bolts. And the rest of the rail is regular mlok (masochistic-lok) for hand grips, drink holders, dildos etc.

Only retards mount shit that close to the muzzle, making it front heavy.
That’s my forced entry rig when busting back doors down, slapping cheeks, and tactical tea-bagging while on the Asian massage parlor vice beat.

I'm gonna start a new fad and make some out of actual cheese grater material - and just have it powder-coated black for the tacticool look....
Good call. A real bipod like B&T wouldn't dare direct attach Mlok....

Genius! I'm just hoping we can beat this to market with my Arca quad fore ends, otherwise we don't stand a chance.
(Damn production delays. Six weeks trying to decide if it was "fore end" or "forend")

As for cheese graters, I stippled a set of grips so aggressively that they were actually pretty painful to shoot with for quite a while till they wore in a bit and I got used to them. They never slipped in those hot sweaty July/August matches though. For years whenever anyone else held that pistol they'd say ouch.. how can you use this like this? I'd call them pussies and say "You got city hands Mister 'ooper, been counting money all your life!" 
Without my quadrail, I won't be able to mount my underbarrel chainsaw
Mlok is cool, but I have had lights come unloose on them. Just last night I had to retighten an Arisaka light rail because it had come loose, and I tighten them snugly enough upon installation. Quads are just more simple. Yeah an Mlok is slimmer for my smaller hands, but I still prefer the functionality of a quad rail.
Either way, who cares, just go shoot.
