I'm getting a new rifle with a Fortis 12" rail and I've been looking for covers. I've really only seen the Noveske and KAC rail covers. I've heard of issues with the Noveske staying on and I haven't really read anything much about the KAC. Obviously KAC makes very good products. Since I know keymod is fairly new is there anything out there coming soon that would be better just to wait for? It's not like it's a OMG I need it right now thing. Don't want to waste money on a bad product. It'd be kind of embarrassing to have rail covers just fall of my really nice Rainier arms RUC REV I got myself for Christmas. Ah only about 2 weeks to wait.

The noveske covers are a bitch to get off. No way they just fall off. I have them on a fortis rev.
No experience with the kac covers.

I have a nsr and just picked up a rev, looking for a black set and foliage set, the black seems very hard to find right now.

They were available on Amazon about a week ago. Not anymore. Now I have to do some searching.

I have the Noveske covers on my MI keymod rail, and am very pleased with them.

I will second the comment that they are difficult to install, and I dont see them just falling off as long as they are properly installed.

The only place I found the black ones were at opticsplanet.  Everywhere else only had foliage or FDE.

I'm running the KAC on the URX 3.1. I like the feel, even with wet gloves. Caution as to all the Chinese stuff on the market. My next set will come directly from KAC.

Could you post a pic of the KACs? Are you able to change the panel size like with the noveske set?

Found this on tos, that's the extent of my research.

What is the purpose of putting covers on a keymod handguard?  Heat?

Yup. Keeps your hand off the hot, bare metal. I just use gloves myself.

And because it looks cool yo.
