Magpul industries enhanced ejection port cover - Magpul Industries Enhanced Ejection Port Cover

Generally I'm a big fan of Magpul and I have a habit of putting a lot of their accessories on my firearms. I was glad to hear they were making a polymer ejection port cover despite previously stating that they weren't going to make one. After getting my hands on one I'm sorry to say it's subpar compared to similar products on the market. The polymer feels thin, flimsy and likely to break on impact, compared to another similar polymer ejection port cover by Spikes Tactical that feels significantly more robust. Despite the use of polymer the bottom of the dust cover seems to be slightly too thick on the bottom that contains the spring bar. This causes the cover to not open properly on a variety of uppers (not only proprietary ones), I have a an Aero precision GI spec AR 15 upper and the dust cover will only open a few millimeters after pulling the charging handle. This is quite a shame, the cover itself looks good especially on builds that already have a lot of Magpul furniture on them. The self contained spring bar with a pull tab that doubles as the action spring is innovative. However my overall impression is this design was an afterthought and resulted in fitment issues. I ended up going back to the Spikes Tactical cover and this one ended up as a freebie for someone else. Hopefully Magpul does a Gen 2 in the future.
