McMaster Carr is just an industrial supplier of all kinds of hardware; if you bought grommets of an appropriate size and material there's no reason you couldn't fit them in to the holes on any given rail.
Whether it would be cost effective or not I couldn't say; it might end up costing you just as much and you wouldn't be guaranteed a fit, but then you could probably get them to fit any handguard at all, not just the Troy stuff.
McMaster Part # 9600K27 is what I would look at if you wanted to try that route, but the squid grips have a curvature that mates with the OD of the rail for a nice flush fit.
From the few reports here, and the price. I may hafta pick up a set for my rail.

How far out beyond the rail do they stick out? Are they relatively flush?
I will measure a set tonight, but I would guess 1/8", so they change the diameter from 1.75 to 2" If you use them all of the way around.
Got my squid grips and Troy rail lastnight.. Thought the squiddys where a little slick... My hand was sliding on them

I go back and forth on the grips. Since I can hold the rifle like in the picture, I don't really see the need for squids...
Well i bought a set. Pic explains where i put um. Put the extra row underneath starting at the lower receiver as an extra on hand. Will hopefully try um out this weekend or upcoming week. Will also remove the foward grip and see what its like just using the squids
