Also, $22 for one plastic panel? You high? Yes, you get the Knight's engravings and pride from having Knight's panels. While shopping around for product for my next project, my contact threw in a pair of Magpul XT Texture rail panels. These panels don't slide on...they fit on to the rail kind of like a Tupperware lid.
They can be cut to any length, have a much more solid rubbery texture, comes in four flavors, and cost $11 for the carbine length. Magpul "suggests" they can be cut with a pair of shears...I suggest NOT to use your mom's kitchen shears, but dad's hedge clippers (no, not really, but you need something a bit more heavy to cut).
Notice the XT panel is much more dull and matt finish. It's made from a rubbery material and grip much better than the plastic Knight's panel (them’s genuine Knight's panels). No, I'm no sucker that paid $44 for two panels...the unit came with two free panels. The size of the panel is identical to the Knight's.
The back. Since XT's don't slide on, they have ribs on the back that fall into the rail grooves. Also, no metal clip. But will they fit on airsoft rails? Yes they do...at least on G&P and GB-Tech rails.
Giddyup.
No I don't work for Magpul...I get no commision. Just thought that the product looked cooler and functioned a bit better. It's the choice of a new generation!
