Let's see your C7 clones! (and C8 clones too, I guess...)

The set that came with my SA20 doesn't match, neither does my issue rifle. Even the halves of my Cadex vertices grip were different shades of green, lol!

The BCG rails. Not the Diemaco. Although the bcm is a near identical clone. $175 though.

EE just had them for 40 each or both for 70.
And Jims Junk had them for 100. I've seen 100 a few times.
175 is high. For a reproduction.

Well now that commercial versions are available, I'd expect genuine units to go for at least the same price. Assuming they're in good condition. That said, $175 is still pretty high.
Some people who are unaware of this can undervalue their worth, as with anything.

Or over value the clones because some fool will pay the price. 100 is the market high point on triads. I've seen prices from 35 bucks and up, but 100 on the top end for EE ads that don't last long.
Jims Junk had 35 of them in stock not long again, and they may be listed again soon from the sounds of it. He has stock and sells them at 100 bucks and they aren't flying out the door.
I guarantee the bcm will sit and ctcs will likely have a sale in a few months to blow out whatever stock they don't have. Market prediction.
There is no reason a rail the size of a triad should be the same cost as a full 9 inch rail.
True. BCM sells them for $100 in the states, and I'm guessing they don't sell a lot of them. You could probably get it for less than $175+tax and shipping by ordering directly from them, assuming they do exports.
In terms of strict manufacturing cost, of course not. But market prices are never that simple. Would you rather buy an NEA 9" rail for $100, or a triad?

Triad, but mostly because all the NEA products I have bough required machining to work.

I've bought Troy rails for less than the BCM triad is selling for.

Are people still building C7 clones? Haha, Not much changed on mine except the ambi mag release and a green cover for my Elcan:
