nice! rail cover, i have opted for low profile ergo grip/magpul full rail cover in all side (in the first image there is not the front lower piece but i use full cover ) and tangodown vertical grip

 

I too, am wanting the HK rail covers for my two MR556's. Are they a european only thing? Paging Montrala......

 

Just a heads up, HKparts just put some in stock on their website. Got mine ordered, just remember they are one cover per item so if you want both sides you have to order two.

 

no 416 yet for me but i use Magpul XTMs on my M4: XTM™ RAIL PANELS - XTM™ Rail Panels

also used thier 20-rnd and 30-rnd PMAGS.

 

I used Knight's Armament covers mainly because I have a ton of them. I had to make some modifications to the rail where rail cover secures in place. Otherwise these puppies would slide right off.

 

I LOVE YOUR LONG RAIL!

i prefear low profile, also with the vertical grip i feel much better, i feel better in my hand then little bit more large cover

 

I did black ladder rail covers. Elected against my pile of KAC covers as was worried it will scratch the metal......

 

Rumor has it that HK will be adding these rail covers and a few other MR556 accessories to the webstore shortly.

 

Has this happened yet? These things are hard to find.

 

I do not have photo but you can see my rail cover solution up-close on this video (from 4:29 - link jumps to this moment). Basically it is Tangodown SCAR panels on front bottom and front sides (extending as little over rail to prevent accidental gas block touch with very forward grip) with added flavour of Magpul XTM panels on rest of rails (one panel is cut up to clear handguard bolt). I also use ladder cover on top - I must yet to decide if I prefer ladder on XTM on top - I also have some more SCAR panels coming.

I like the Knight's rail covers. I am using ladder style covers on my AR that I'll have to get pics up of soon. It's not HK but it does a 416 grip on it which is the epitome of badass BTW.

 

I use surefire low-profile (ladder-style) covers. They provide an excellent and comfortable no-slip grip, but I haven't yet used them while shooting in the rain, so I don't know how they'll be when wet...

 

i ran them on my 416 upper too, they are the best imo

 

I use the ladder style from Magpul.

 

Are Surefire, Magpul, Falcon ladder covers same?

 

Ergo and Surefire are different for sure

 

Where can I find SF ones? No info on their webpage, Polish distributor also does not have them.

 

I have got Magpul ladders but thinking of changing them into XTMs.

 

I got my HK416 rail covers in! They look schweet!

 

those rail covers are super hard to find!!!!!!

 

those sold out super quick!!!

 

Yeah, but if you get on Adam's alert/wait list, you'll get them when the next shipment comes in.

 

You have to be very very quick. Took me two tries to get mine. They usually sell out in less than an hour from the in stock email going out.

 

I forget what they're called by magpul makes them

I like them

 

It's XTM rail panels.. Nice setup

 

I've seen some low profile rail covers (the slim kind that just fill the notches, and barely cover the sides) that were colored, to include red. You can't get much more HK than red highlights on a black gun. The only thing that would make it more HK would be the actual logo.

 

It's a gun not a barbie doll! You're not supposed to paint it red, pink, or camo to match your tactical underpants either!

They're called ladder rail covers (because they look like ladders). I like them, personally, and run them on my 556. It's easy to cut them to length to fill space between accessories.

Magpul XTM covers for mine.

Wish somebody made covers the same profile as the ladder covers (same material too) that covered the entire rail with no exposed parts. Very low profile,thin, but that still protects all of the rail. I don't like how most rail panels have the sides that extend outward from the rail as far as they do.

A guy can dream, can't he?

 

Im running Troy Rail Covers on mine cause I like the look and they feel well too. Got Magpul Ladders on the bottom rail behind my VFG due to lack of space for a full cover.

 

I use mix of Tango Down SCAR covers and ladder covers on mine - SCAR on bottom rail, ladders on side and top rails. Sometime I mix XTM panels as well. XTM and SCAR panels are of same profile but I like SCAR panel texture more, while XTM are easier to configure.

 

I switched to ladder covers and removed the stubby grip. I'm digging this new feel and look.

 

I purchased some HK 556 railcovers and would like to sell them. If anyone is interested, there is a "for sale" ad in the correct section.
