wait what... fake magpul XTM cover?

[stick_em_up]

Reviving an old thread here. I just recieved my package of magpul xtm rail covers that I ordered from an ebay vendor. It's a 32 piece pack with all the colors. They came all together in a ziploc type bag with no labels. They all fit together well and look like they could be the real deal. Each one says magpul on the backside. I'm not familiar with how they should look or feel. They do have the round edges. Is there a chance these are real Magpul covers? If they were the PTS covers would they say so on the back? I paid 24.99.

Plenty of posts on the Internet regarding counterfeit Magpul products - especially if they come from the Far East. Stick with reputable vendors. AIM Surplus has the new black XTM enhanced panels.

Magpul XTM Enhanced Rail Panels

A couple YouTube videos compare counterfeit and real Magpul products. Just like everything else (sports jerseys, watches, etc.) companies out of the Far East will jump on anything hot to make a quick buck. You get what you pay for -- the materials used are not the same.

Well this really sucks. Pretty sure I got fakes. Guess the price was too good to be true. Now I gotta deal with returning em cause I want to get Magpul products. Shoulda read some customer feedback on this seller before buying.

I almost did the same thing. I was looking for the XTM Enhanced Rail Panels and could only locate them on eBay and Amazon. I thought it was odd so I did some research and found that they were counterfeit. Some people don't mind since the average person has no clue. I bet there are plenty of people with counterfeit Magpul parts on their guns.

report this stuff to Magpul!!! There were numerous cease and desist orders as well as several customs violations reported by Magpul, Trijicon, EOTech and several others @ SHOT this year...keep adding fuel to the fire and something will eventually get done by Magpul's legal team

I got screwed on a set of MBUS sights same way--NOT HAPPY but understand it isnt MAgpul's fault

i would suggest contacting magpul as well.provide them with as much info and links.i imagine they dont like this one bit and probably will take legal action soon if these people dont stop.they make magpul look bad and im sure magpul doesnt want their reputation tainted by knock offs.hey you never know magpul might even offer you a set for informing them of these knock offs.i wouldnt bet on them giving you free stuff but you never know.its a shame people do make knock offs and all it does is cost reputable companies a good amount of money.
