AWESOME TEXTURE
Awesome texture - adds a great feel and look to your rifle. Putting these on is tricky since they are like a rubbery plastic. Hook one side, push the middle down, and then lift the other side and press on. Start on one end and work your way down one inch at a time.
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Great stuff
Fits as designed and completely changes the feel of the rifle..
EXCELLENT PRODUCT & EASY TO INSTALL
Excellent fit for Pic-rail. Firm grip and great support. Excellent protection against bumping and heat from firing . Comfortable for holding gun in any position. - I read that some have difficulty to install this product. DO NOT use screwdriver or any other tool. It takes less than 5 secs. No tools required (see pics) : - place gun on or against safe surface. Hold Magpul rail cover loosely on top of desired position on Pic-rail, starting at the center of one of the groves. Do not engage lower lips of cover at this point. Hold cover along the edge on each side with your 4 fingers and place thumbs on middle of rail cover starting at one end. Press down on the cover with thumbs while slightly lifting with your fingers along the side at the same time. It will not break or crack. Lower lips of cover will smoothly slide under edge of Pic-rail as you move toward the other end of cover with your hands. Easy as 1-2-3. - It also can be shortened between each of the 8 segments with a sharp knife if needed. Hope this helped.
great rail cover
ive got ladder rails, xtm panels, and multiple other companies versions...but these are my favorite. they are secure, feel good, and add a nice look to the quad rail. they are actually pretty easy to install, it just takes a trick. once you know the trick, they are extremely easy to put on and take off. i highly recommend these rail panels.
Easy on the Hands
Quad rails can get a little rough on the hands. Not only that, but they can hang on things when you take your rifle hunting or to the range. If you cover the unused sections of the rail with these, not only will your hands feel better, but you won't have to constantly unhook your rifle from every twig. It'll also help save your rifle rest when shooting from the bench.
Another base hit from Magpul
These were a great add-on to my Yankee Hill foregrip, although they do add some considerable girth to grip, but it doesn't bother me at all. I found that by using my girlfriends hair dryer to heat them and make them more pliable made the installation much easier. Aesthetically pleasing, durable, and very comfortable.
Great Covers
A great product. Little tricky to install but when attached to the rail, fit VERY snug. Great gripping feel. Awesome product from Magpul!!
Quality Product
Somewhat tricky to install, they don't simply slide on. I had to use a small flat blade screwdriver that fit between the rails and pry the inner lip over the rail from the side, kind of like mounting a tire on a rim. Using this method made it easy without scratching anything. Once installed they look and feel great in fact, I'm ordering two more as I write this review.
Simple, Tough, and Functional
As other reviewers have pointed out, these can be difficult to install. The trick is to lightly lubricate the inside of the rail grips with a plastic-safe lubricant. Line up one side of the grip over the rail, then push the grip over the other side of the rail; sort of "roll" it on. The lubricant allows this to slide over the rail alot more easily and it becomes a breeze to install. Once in place it looks good and offers a very positive grip.
My first, and they work well
I finally got around to putting a free-float rail on my AR. It's a Daniel Defense Omega, and I used the Magpul rail covers. They are a little tricky to get on, but feel great once they are on. I cut a couple of them down to smaller sizes, and it's a very straight forward process.
