I was not familiar with this texturing and emailed Magpul with these photos inquiring about their authenticity. They responded saying they appear to be knock off/counterfeit panels and that they have never manufactured XTM panels with the diamond texturing. However, when browsing the web, I see hand stop kits from reputable online vendors showing this texture.
What do you guys say?

I would trust what the company that makes them says.

So Magpul tells you they are counterfeit and you decide to not believe them??
OK, believe me, they're fake. I have several generations of XTM panels. They either have nothing more than a lightly gained finish or are heavily stippled between the ribs. All are of a much crisper precise molding than the pieces you have. |

I have plenty of genuine Magpul XTM-E panels on my AR... |
