After pretty much giving up on finding HK brand rail covers for my MR556 started to look into other options. As I was working out my own solutions I thought to myself, what is everyone else doing to cover their rails on their MR556's and HK416's. Now I know that this was touched base on over a year ago, but the MR has since come out and I hope to see how everyone is covering up their unused real estate. I'm hoping everyone posts up some pics of what they did as I'd love to see many different variations of what routes we decided to go and how they look on the MR556/HK416's longer rail. So lets see what everyone has.
I guess I can go first... I was always bothered by the exposed rails that the full sized Tango Down rails left as they were meant for carbine length rails so I thought I'd pair it up with a shorter rail cover and cut them down. After some dremel work to accommodate rail nut, I found a way to get those Tango Down's to get all the way across. I think it looks great and it somewhat reminds me of the HK covers. I'm not quite done yet, I still need to round the end off to match a bit but overall I'm satisfied.
