| I bought a LaRue 7" handguard. Will the Surefire Z70 rail covers work with LaRue? If so where can I buy them, they seem hard to find? |

I have tons of magpul ladders, old and new.
they are just rubber to fill the space between rails. more of a rail protector than hand protector. nothing wrong with them, they do their job okay. they don't protect you from heat, but do prevent scratches and what not on hand and rail. the surefires have these two textured bumps on each ladder step that somehow change the entire feel. they also do not protect from heat, but they do give a slight edge in comfort. having said that, I use neither on any portion where my hand could ever be. I got seared two years ago by a FF HG protected with ladders, when shooting rapid fire without gloves... never forgot it! I'm a panel guy, magpul of course

Quoted:
The XTM's say 2 piece? What exactly does that mean? Two little squares in one set? How big is one panel in the set (inches)? If I have a LaRue FUG I guess it would be okay to use the SF ladder covers as I am not handling the handguard, or is that incorrect? The XTMs come in bags of 8 for one rail. Two pieces slip/snap together to form 25% coverage on one rail. The advantage for my dough is no cutting, heat protection and slim profile compared to other guards. They're about $6.00-7.00 a bag. |
