Thanks for that. They look good and that 50% discount is definitely nice, especially considering how over-priced most rail covers are. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Have you considered a paracord wrap? It’s light, cheap, and comfortable. Granted, it’s a pain to install/remove frequently but if you’re locked down on your kit and don’t plan frequent changes then it’s pretty nice. Pic from WWW  | |||

Magpul makes decent rail covers( Larue has them for sale ) , so does Daniels Defense and Tango Down and ERGO makes decent rail cover ladders. I had the larue clips, but I took them off. I was playing with different configurations and removing and putting them back on got annoying. Also, the handstop that came clips would slide a little back and forth. I also found the clips to be less "grippy" than I liked. But, That was circa 2010, so they may have improved them since then. | |||

I've been using the ladder style covers in the background of the photo. I cut them to length. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

Magpul rail covers is made by Ergo (or was at one time). The Ergos are cheaper. | |||

I never even thought about the paracord thing. Very cool, thanks. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Out of all the rail covers I have tried, and I have tried a lot, I prefer the ladder style. They are light, they do not increase the girth, and they are easy to install, remove, and cut to size if needed. I did put the Larue clips on my 6940P to try but I will eventually replace them with some ladder covers when I get around to it. | |||

I'm talking about the XT rail panels. I don't see them in the Ergo catalogue but they have some newer offerings. I'm rather surprised to hear that Magpul outsourced their plastic. | |||

I was looking for something for my Bren 805 PS1 when I remembered these but couldn't remember who made them but RogueJSK did, they're available in Black, FDE and these nice looking units; made by http://alienarmorgear.com/  If you really want something you'll find a way ... ... if you don't you'll find an excuse. I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either  | |||

How are the Magpul MLOK panels? Are they hard plastic or more rubbery like Hogue grips? | |||
|
| To Do What is Right and Just |
^^^the type 2 mlok panels are hard plastic but agressive which was nice. They do add a little bulk, but liked them a lot on a forend I used in the past. Switched to a mk8 geissele rail and used them again for a little, but have switched to the bcm panels. Those are a lot smaller and just fit in the slot which I liked. | |||
