    i got a set and could not get them to click in, no matter how hard i pushed and lines up them on the Troy MRF-C rails. switched to magpul ladder panels.

    i have an FDE set of three i can sell you, if you want them. just pm me.

    no rattles here, but I dont do any competitive/duty/combat/zombie shooting so I have no idea how they hold up with abuse and after many many rounds.

    I think they're pieces of shit. I've snapped the plastic locking tab on a couple of them while trying to pry both ends up to install/remove the cover. I discovered the hard way that there's not much room between raising the tab's ends enough to move the cover, and raising the ends so far that they snap off. I like most of what Troy makes, but not these things.

    I have tried a number of different rail covers and keep going back to XTM panels.

    Tried a few

    Tried a few diff. types, but prefer the Magpul XTM's especially when stippled properly. Can be a little bulkier, but good balance and excellent gripping surface. Not to mention provide good heat barrier.

    I can't imagine using anything but the LaRue index clips on any of my future builds. They are about as solid on lockup as you can get and the lower profile they create is nice.

    Larue

    How solid are they Zombie, and are they mainly made for indexing and holding down wires and such or can you place them together to form a continuous cover. Also what is the friction surface like?

    There is no movement of any type after clipping them in. They are as solid at the rail itself. They do not create a continuous cover exactly, but I think it is a very comfortable feel. As mentioned before, I like the lower profile they create in comparison to other panels. Almost the perfect trade off between rail ladders and panels.

    This isn't a photo of my setup, but it gives you a good example of what they look like installed.

    No love for TangoDowns? I've been using them for years and they work great. I've also got the new SCAR panels on my SCAR (see the name drop?) and they also work well.
