emilianoksa Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Rubber or plastic? Full cover or ladder style. Are those put together from multiple short sections as reliable as the longer ones? Looks like they are all a friction fit. There's a lot of stuff out there and I don't know where to start. I'd be grateful for any recommendations.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted June 24, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 24, 2018 The ladder types keep the handguard at its' standard width, so that's what I go with, super easy to chop to the exact length you want too. Other larger/bulkier types make the forend uncomfortably wide to hold in my experience and they're rarely the exact size you want. Wouldn't exactly fret over it though, hardly makes any real difference in the scheme of things. None of them are actually rubber either, just flexible plastic.. Why reliability is a question I'm honestly not sure, just pick a colour you like, whack 'em on... done. You'd have to buy some uber cheap junk to have them just fall off mid game.

emilianoksa Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Thanks. What you said about the ladder type in particular is the kind of advice I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarathe Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I tried using covers on my G&G mk18, made thing so fat I couldn't grip it. It came with it's own ladders on the other hand and they worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard good things about Magpul XTM Covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted June 25, 2018 Supporters Share Posted June 25, 2018 I have knock off copies of the Magpul XTM covers on my MK18. I like them, but them I have big hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
