XT™ PICATINNY RAIL COVER POLYMER FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

Tough, polymer cover slides over Picatinny rails to protect shooter’s hand from sharp edges of unused rails, and shield exposed rails from damage during rough tactical operations. Makes rail less likely to snag clothing and equipment and gives the rounded contour of a smooth, circular handguard with the freedom to reconfigure accessories whenever you need to. Rubber-like, pebble-texture grip surface helps shooter maintain better weapon control.

Each panel covers 15 rail slots—the correct length to fit many carbine-length handguards without modification. Pre-segmented construction for ease in cutting to length to custom fit on other handguards. Multiple sections can be mounted one after the other for smooth, visually continuous cover on longer handguards.

SPECS:

Synthetic polymer, matte black pebble finish
6.25” (15.9cm) long x 1-3/8" (3.5cm) wide
Fits Picatinny and Weaver-style accessory rails
Covers 15 rail slots

Jury is still out.........

Unfortunately, too difficult to install. Some other raters refer to "the secret" to installation but apparently this is above my investigative skills to figure out. Have moved to another style rail cover and will come back to this design later, possibly.
