These are my favorite polymer rail covers so far. Nicer panels exist, but nothing that I've seen in this price range beats the GA set.
This comes with four panels altogether, but only enough hardware to install three of them at a time. Two of these have opposing curves and are meant to be installed on either side of the handguard. The other two panels are flat and are meant for the bottom -- one of the flat panels has a handstop and the other does not, so you can take your pick.
The grid texture on these panels is somewhat grippy without being aggressive. This texture will not grab yuor hand, so don't expect anything super sticky. It is, however, entirely functional and provides an amazing look to both long and short rifles. Each panel is 3 m-lok slots wide.
Since the side panels are not entirely flat, they won't conform to every handguard perfectly. I tried them on a Radical Firearms handguard first and they fit like a glove. I tried them on a Forward Controls Designs handguard second, and the slimmer/rounder profile of that handguard made it so that the rail panels "hung off" from the edges a bit, which I wasn't a big fan of.
I'll also say that one of the included t-nuts mysteriously snapped in half while I was giving it only 15 in-lbs of torque.
Those caveats don't stop me from giving this set two thumbs up though. I really like it!
Pros:
- Looks great
- Affordable
- feels great
Cons:
- May not fit slimmer handguards perfectly
Would recommend: Yes

Not too bad just what I need nothing crazy eazy to use. Only thing I'd like is one extra set of mlock screws but other than that it is perfect. Still trying to figure out exactly how I like em on my handgard but very pleased with them so far and already bought another set for my other upper.
Would recommend: Yes

Wanted some sturdy good looking rail covers for my BRN180 build. These fit the bill perfectly. Not too chunky and the grip texture is perfect, not too aggressive but it still gives great purchase on the weapon even if you're a super-sweater like me. They also stop me from burning my hand on the actual m-lock. Big fan of the optional hand-stop panel too. I will buy it again if I need any more m-lock covers for sure.
Would recommend: Yes

Appreciate that the panels are mechanically attach to the hand guard. The kit only comes with 3 sets of screws because the four panel is an “alternate flat panel.
Great texture for all seasons.
I would highly recommend the hand stop for short AR pistols so you avoid getting your hand out in front of the muzzle.
Would recommend: Yes

Perfect with its simplicity and ease of use. The look is crisp and clean, and very practical. Glad that it came with 4 panels, one with a handstop which in some other cases would need to be bought separately. Highly recommended and would be non hesitant to buy it again for another build.
Pros:
- Clean & Streamlined.
- practical and durable
- Simple & easy installation, no drilling
Would recommend: Yes

Simple yet sweet, covers 3 slots per piece plus one with a handstop. Couldn’t ask for more. Sleek and simple design that you dont want to sleep on. Highly recommend to anyone who is starting their own build. Has enough grit on texture for a robust grab. For the price it cant be beat
Pros:
- Clean & Streamlined.
- Simple & easy installation, no drilling

Nothing flashy or over-designed and are exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a rail panel cover just like the Knight's Armament Long Panel covers for the URX, but would fit MLOK and these fit the bill exactly. They're way more aesthetically pleasing than the covers Magpul offers and offer more surface area than Rail Scales. The only con that I have is that on each of the pieces there is one little spot of imperfection where you can tell where the piece was separated from the mold. It's an extremely minor complaint and I've already stopped noticing it, but if you have OCD this may bother you. Additionally, I hate ordering FDE accessories online because it's always a toss-up whether it matches my FDE, but fortunately Griffin Armament nailed the color perfectly.
Side panel dimensions - 4 3/4" L x 1 1/8" W
Bottom panel dimensions (w/ handstop) - 4 3/4 L x 1ish W
Bottom panel dimensions (w/out handstop) - 4 3/4 L x 1ish W
Also if you're wondering it only comes with 6 t-lok screws/nuts.
Pros:
- Affordable
- effective
- Simple & Solid
- color accuracy
- good look & feels great
Would recommend: Yes

Very sturdy product. Wide plates that cover a large portion of the rail with a sturdy hand stop. Was hoping for the grip to be more aggressive but still a good product for the price. mounted to my 10.5 in pistol and still have room on the handguard for a light.
Best Used for:
- M-lok accessories while looking cool
Would recommend: Yes

Another great product from a company known for making high quality items. Would recommend this over any other rail shields on the market. The fit is perfect and it functions as advertised. If your looking for quality items Griffin Armament is hard to beat.
