Update! Replacement found, Magpul Enhanced Ejection Port Cover. Fits perfectly and works great so far. It's made out of polymer, prefer metal, but willing to give it a chance.

will this work with strike industries m lok rails?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on June 17, 2021

Because this is a billet upper receiver and the Strike Industries handguards have anti-rotational tabs, there is no guarantee they will fit properly. We have not tested fitment which means we cannot state whether it will fit for a fact or not. Unfortunately because billet upper receivers follow no real standard, this situation is something that will come up when dealing with billet parts.

Would this fit a bcm 12 handguard and also on a stag arms lower

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on June 17, 2021

This is a billet upper which means compatibility with parts is not guaranteed. If the handguard has anti-rotational tabs that use the upper receiver as a stop, there is no guarantee they will fit onto a billet upper receiver. In regards to the lower, if its a mil-spec lower receiver, the upper should fit, but there may be slight tolerance issues as a mil-spec lower follows specific dimensions while billet uppers do not have a true standard.
