What are your favorite rail covers?

[n4p226r]

Doesn't matter what rail type it's for. Keymod. Mlok. Picatinny. Post pics and a description of what you like. I'm considering swapping out my noveske keymod for a noveske mlok just because the Nagpur mlok stuff feels nice from what I can tell.

LaRue index clips, Surefire Ladder covers, Transformer Grip panels, G10.

I'm a big fan of BCM's Keymod panels. They're thin at .100", easy on and easy off but will not come off by accident. Pretty grippy too, without being abrasive. Nice all around and don't have that chintzy feel that the Noveske panels do.

Here's some pics, the Arisaka mount gives some reference for thickness.







That said, I am planning on supplementing with a set of Railscales at 3, 6, and 9:00. I've never used them before, and I'd be adding them primarily for aesthetic reasons, but the slight increase in thickness will be welcome, as will be their more bite-y texture (but I also enjoy fairly aggressive textures).

Oh yeah, what he said. LaRue index clips are the heat for picatinny, and you can see I have them on my top rail in my pics above. Also the mentioned Railscales are G10, though they also make a less expensive glass filled nylon version, albeit, in different lengths.

Picatinny = Surefire Ladder covers
MLOK = Magpul Type 1
KeyMod = BCM

Still my absolute favorite.

When you really want G10 that adds almost zero width, so you have to design a little panel system, a forend to wear it, then license them to someone willing to make it.

After that you call David at Executive Ordnance and ask him real super nice to make some panels...

Buying stuff is just too easy for me

BCM for keymod
Cheapo ladders for picatinny
Strike Industries V1/V2 for MLOK

Those Railscales look fantastic and ought to for the big bucks. Their Honeycomb pattern is called Piranha on the Hogue G10 Sig grips. I iked the aggressive texture. Just know the sharp edges quickiy show wear on contact surfaces.

Also cheaper than the ones by VZ, and longer. Good to know about the wear, but that won't really bother me so long as they stay sharp.

Those magpul covers you just posted on IG look great. I wonder if they are too thick though when added to the already thick rail

Gloves. Way more versatile and they don't cover up the artistry of machine work.

Anyone know a place to pick up a set of surefire ladder covers in black?

[GOST]

I've never ordered from here, but they claim to have them in stock.

I find that wearing gloves just doesn't feel as real and I don't get any feeling from wearing protection

That's super-nice. Are these available somewhere? I did my own DIY G10 covers but it was a fair amount of work and I'd like to just buy them.

Magpul Type 1! Extremely comfortable with great grip.
