What Different Materials are used for MLOK Rail Covers on an AR-15

The last decade has seen a drastic shift in the firearms industry from being primarily military-focused, with new product innovation dependent on contracts with various government entities, to the modern era with a host of products available in the civilian space. As more modern rail systems incorporate new methods for accessory attachment, notably Keymod and MLOK, while continuing to get thinner and lighter in order to accommodate the new equipment, a need arose for a product to mitigate heat transfer to the rail. AR 15 accessory manufacturers in the firearms industry have made various attempts to tackle this, with various polymer and rubber offerings made available on the market over the years, each with its own drawbacks. One of the more innovative solutions to circumvent heat transfer comes from RailScales, whose namesake products are constructed of lightweight FR4 (commonly known as G10).

Multiple User Offerings On Texture

RailScales has continued to drive innovation in this space and they remain a steadfast name in the industry. Its AR-15 MLOK rail covers still stand apart as the premier product for a variety of reasons. Utilizing the heat resistant capability of G10, combined with its use as a durable and lightweight material that was machinable on CNC, as well as tight hardware tolerance specifications and made in the USA, RailScales found a niche in the industry that had been sorely missing. The advent of additional texture options to their lineup, and more recently new color options as well, only helps to cement their claim of offering the best MLOK rail covers in the industry.

Full Service Attention To Detail

What truly sets RailScales panels apart with their M LOK rail covers is an attention to detail that isn’t often seen in the firearms industry. From high-end packaging that gives the customer an elegant unboxing experience, to their inclusion of all of the necessary hardware and installation guidance needed, they truly set out to ensure the customer feels value in their purchase. Out of the box, the pre-assembled panels have a high level of precision machining that fits snugly into the MLOK rail and custom hardware down to the MLOK nuts used to attach the accessories. The variation in textures offered on the RailScales lineup of panels is diverse and accommodating for multiple levels of comfort and grip style. Whether the more aggressive Matrix and Dragon texture, the balanced feel of the Honeycomb texture, or the less aggressive but aesthetically appealing MiniDot, RailScales provides a multitude of options.

Endless Combinations For Your Rail

In addition to their namesake panels, RailScales also offers an allotment of other MLOK rail cover options that give diversity to an already fantastic lineup of products. The HTP Scales take the popular G10 version of RailScales panels and textures into a more affordable polymer molded variation. These not only offer customers the same great textures as the pricier machined items but also include additional color options that are not available elsewhere. More recently, they have also introduced their XOS variant, and a new TerraCore color option to give customers even more ways to outfit their firearm.
