Why wouldn't you just take their word for it when they say it won't fit?

You really need to worry more about the bolt holes on the rails than anything else.
If those do match up, then the horizontal section of the ARC will probably ride over the edge of the cut-out sides of the helmet, they'll be lower than the cut on the helmet for sure... but probably not by much. If you're dead-set on the rails, use an ACH or a ballistic FAST. Long story short: OC can't fit the ARC rails to every single helmet out there, there's a lot of them and they can't liable for you buying a product that won't fit your lid and then get pissed off when you finally notice that it's not perfect. |

Normally I would but It's just that I've seen pictures of the high cut helmets with rails and some don't fit right and some look like they do. Just trying to find the brand that fits the best.

I have a United Shield Sprint high cut and was wondering the same. It can be bought w an oem rail but states that one cant be user installed. It's an issued helmet btw. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd consider buying a cheap ass ebay ARC clone to see what mods need to be made to get it to fit. |

Go for it. |

You should see if the ArmorSource ASR-010 Universal Helmet Rail System fits. I mean it does say universal so I would assume so.

I was thinking about them yesterday so I called the vendor and they said they will fit. I decided not to get them because they were not screw on. I was looking for ones that would screw into the existing holes and fit good. Don't want to drill any holes in the helmet. I think the ArmorSource Rails are held on by Velcro or epoxy glue which may actually be good if you don't want to drill any additional holes in your helmet. Also, if you Velcro them on and don't like them you can always remove them or move them to another helmet. It's good to have several options.
