i was looking to get a set of rail covers and have never had any experience with them.

Im looking at two different types

first ones are the full strips
ARR-169 - AR-15 Rail Covers Tapco Set of 5 Black 6" Rail Covers Textured Santoprene

second are the individual ones
ARR-584 - AR-15 Rail Covers for Handguards Black UTG Package of Twelve 2"x1.375"x0.75"

the full ones to me seem like it would be more sturdy but less optional for a fore grip or what now. as the small pieces im not sure if they will move around any.

Thank you guys for any advice.

I had the utg covers but sold them and got some Larue index clips. I wanted something more "fancy". But I did really enjoy the utg's. Package of 12 won't cover all the rails, but I had a riser, foregrip and MI front sling attatchment and they did cover rail space left over. They are some of the bulkiest though, which I liked, but to be sure there are quite a few pics in the pic thread with them applied. Also, they were very solid. Did not move at all and unlike some of the more expensive ones they give you a completly different feel, which also I liked. All in all if you end up not liking them they're really cheap. Hope this helps.

I grabbed the UTG 12 pack for mine just because they were inexpensive. I like them quite a bit, but I think I may try the Larue Tactical clips at some point

The Larue clips are nice. They don't change the feel of the forearm but they smooth it out. $40 is alot for this kind of accessory but being accompanied by dillo dust, a couple cool stickers and a copy of the constitution made it all worth my while. Extreamly profesional, friendly and interpersonal company. Highly recomend.

thank you guys for quick and great responses sounds like im going with the UTG just wanted to make sure htey didn't move around much if any was my concern and like you said 10$ not a big loss

I **** you not one of the most comfortable rail covers I have ever shot with was a washcloth wraped around then wraped with black duct tape haha.

Since this is a .22LR, not my service rifle, I think I spent about $9 in these Ergogrips (see egrogrips dot net).

I like the flexibility of the UTC's and they are plenty tight. Mine don't wiggle a bit.

The 12 pack worked perfect for me by the time I put on my laser sight, M3 light, and rail mounted front sling swivel.

I have Magpul XTM's on mine. I love them.

Agreed! I have them in the dark earth color as well as a vertical grip and stock of the same color scheme. I had the UTG rubber version, and found the Magpul XTM rails to be more durable/protective.

I have a mix of XTMs, but they make the fore arm feel pretty "thick". I am starting to go toward the low profile plastic/rubber ladders and cut them up and mix and match a camo like pattern.

I got a set of the Troy rail covers for $17.00, shipped off Ebay. I like them much better than the UTG I had before. I would have done the LaRue Index Clips, but couldn't bring myself to spend $40.00 for rail covers.

LaRue for the win
