    Same here, I like the grip and love the price.

    would add that they do not provide a great deal of heat protection on my ALG V2 or V3 rails (I have Mlok and Keymod ALG rails).

    P.S. I have not had a problem with loose BCM Mlok covers. The Keymod covers are really secure, though.

    Thanks for the advice gents. Likely go with BCM for price. Like that they do not add much bulk to the rail.

    I have read repeatedly that the BCM M-LOK covers come loose. Not personal experience.

    I like the appearance of Slate Black covers, but are those metal screws?

    I like my Centurion covers, but as I recall, they were not particularly cheap. The screws do not impact the handguard itself, so less heat transfer. I haven’t run the 6960 hot, though.

    I really like the Magpul Type 2. They are secure and have plenty of grip. They do get warm, but I can’t imagine worse than most other options.

    Ergo isn’t too pricy and really seems like the East default option besides the Magpul Type 2. A different approach to the problem. They’ve been around forever.

    Manta would be my next choice, if I wanted to try something different. Their 1913 covers are great.

    I like Magpul Type 2 covers. They are easy to install or remove, add minimal bulk to the rail and have a fairly aggressive texture. The price is pretty reasonable too...

    As far as screws getting hot, I’ve never noticed. I have a SBR with an old Samson EVO handguard with nothing covering it, and I’ve never had a problem with things getting too hot. I do usually have gloves on, so without maybe…

    Not OP, but thanks for those commenting on the screws not being an issue for heat transfer. Good to know.

    I also have no problem with heat from screws. I use the hand stop rail on my AR pistols. It comes with either the handstop or a plain panel for the six o'clock position.

    Neceothread here, but it’s not that old.

    I picked up a Lunar Concepts Hot Pocket and just installed on my suppressed 11.5 (after removing Magpul Type 2 covers).
    I like the idea and coverage, but…dang, this thing is slippery. Unless for a specific purpose, I have eschewed foregrips; not sure that I want to change that just because of the rail cover. We’ll see…
