Rail covers

[Revolver Ocelot]

Hi,

What company makes good rail covers for 6 inch rails and where can I buy them.

I need these for my new rail system for my VZ.

Thanks

Magpul makes them Daves Surplus sells them

Magpul ladders.. you can cut them to size.

Is ladder batter or the covers? For all intents and purposes, they do the same thing right?

Proper covers like TangoDown (My preferred) or KAC will help to keep your hands cool from the heat of sustained fire. The ladder cover merely protects the rail by filling in the slots, and won't do much for protecting your hands. If you put more than five mags through your rifle, I'd recommend rail covers, and not just the ladder covers.

I use KAC panels on the sides and bottom, and ladder covers along the top, to protect the rail from a beating.

Thanks,

Brad

Rail covers are supposed to shield your hands from heat, ladders only protect your rail system from wear.

Boltgun,

Hey, 25 rounds is a lot! Hehe, okay, maybe I should've said something realistic, like "33 mag changes later, it might feel warm to the touch."
