Had someone PM me about the Magpul type 2 covers fitting on the ALG Mlok emr v3 rail after seeing a picture I posted in the AR picture thread. So I figured I would post the info for anyone else who was looking at this combo.
The ALG V3 and V2 Mlok rails have the Mlok slots located at the 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 o'clock positions on the rail. The Magpul type 2 Mlok covers are designed for the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions and extend around the rail so when they are in these positions they leave less of a gap :

I like the feel of these more than the type 1 and didn't care for how the type 1's looked on the EMR. Too much space in between and the type 2's were more like the picatinny rail covers I am used to.

When installing the type 2's in the V3, the covers overlap and dont sit flush to the rail (and dont click into place):
So they have to be trimmed a bit. I used a bench grinder, but you could use almost anything that can cut plastic; a dremel would work or possibly tin snips or something.
