What kind of rail covers ??

[Snake Plissken]

ya they're cheap enough to try out. i bought 2 sets of black so i could cut 1 up to different sizes and cover the entire rail/leave space for my add-ons.

What do you use to cut them ??

What do you use to cut them ??

Scissors, box cutter, knife ...

They are soft, extruded plastic.

What do you use to cut them ??

Knife or scissors. They're soft enough.

I've done the Magpul XTM Panels and they were way to fat. Love the ladders. Got black ones from the Army/Navy store and recently rattle canned them FDE.

I went with the Magpul XTM covers..... I like the digital camo look

This is the way I went also.

I went from ladder bar covers with a custom rail cover (like 5 inches long)

to

XTM covers with my custom cover.

I like the ladder bar covers because its light weight. But looks boring

Magpul ladder rail covers. Can cut to size.

Any of the Magpul stuff is great. I went with replacing the hand guard with a free float hand guard so I don't have to fill in the rails.

are the magpuls more expensive that cheap ebay covers? seems like a silly part to worry about name brand.

Magpul are like $11.95 ea, so to me it's a no brainer.

 

[w0ady]

true, not enough of a price difference to matter.

At $12 to $13 EACH, I passed them up. My Mako ladders were $13 for for three. I bought the ones on Amazon that were $5 for four for my grandson's rifle. He's not going to get them hot enough to melt.

I can see the MagPuls on an actual 5.56 used in combat or competition, but not for a 15-22.

 

[w0ady]

oh wow, no thanks!

i just checked and i got 2 packs of 4 for $15 shipped from amazon.

What color do you think would go best with my Realtree APG 15/22??

I went with 3 different colors on my Realtree APG and it looks great. I got OD, foliage green and FDE. Also went with a foliage green AVG2. Looks super with FDE mags.

I put pink ones on my wife Pink Platinum with a black AVG2, black Hogue grip.

I want to see pictures of your APG. I've been debating on what to do with mine.

If they are US-made, they are all made by the same company; regardless of whose name is on the package - they are all the same quality.

Some re-sellers are just greedier than others. $13 for a 25 cent piece of plastic - outrageous!

Since I haven't got mine yet ( Oct 5th ), I now have many parts waiting to install. I bought several different colors of rail ladders and same for full covers that way I can mix and match or pick the ones that I like best, this gets to be kinda crazy with all the stuff you can purchase for these 15/22's, lol.
