I liked the overall look of the XTMs better than the ladders. Function would probably be the same on either one I would imagine. I'm sure either would provide a solid foundation for your rifle. You honestly can't go wrong either way.
Gotcha, my only concern with the larger rail covers such as the XTM's was the increase in girth of the rail as I grip my rifle with the 'thumb break' style of grip, so I wrap my thumb and two fingers around as much of the rail as I can. The XTM's however, seem to be the most low profile covers of the non-low profile covers and that's what I like about them. Have you seen the newer version of the XTM's which should come out soon I believe?
Hey Good vid. I was going to go OD green but I went ahead and got a foliage green grip and mags but they sent me OD mags with the FG grip >:( but it did give me a chance to compare side by side as no store around me carried the FG, only DT and OD. I really do like the FG as the OD green in most lighting conditions really looks black at first glance.
What brand of quad rail is that? Do the mounting screws get in the way of mounting to the end section of the picatinny? Im looking at a cheap UTG.
Where do you live because i ordered the same thing and you said that it took about 2-3 days to get to you from Colorado. I live in Indiana and wanted to know how long it wass going to take for them to get here.
They state that one pack of covers will cover 6" of one side of a rail. I purchased 2 packs to line both sides of my 7" rail. Perhaps three packs would be a good bet, to allow for adequate coverage as well as providing you with extras in case you would like to cover your top or bottom rail. Thanks for watching.
I have a Troy battle rail as well, did you consider using Troy rail covers? I am trying to decide between those and the Magpul products.

How do you like the rail covers overall? I can't decide between the xtm's, the magpul ladder covers, or a combo of the two. What would you suggest?

The rail is made by Troy Industries. No issue with the mounting screws on my end.

I live in PA, so I'm a ways away from CO. Maybe I'm lucky? Were they low on stock when you ordered?

Yes this fits on a real M4. Mine are mounted on my Rock River Arms AR15, not an airsoft gun.

Wouldn't see why not. I believe each piece covers roughly 2" of rail space, so you should be able to make them work.

How many packs should i order to cover up 2 sides of a 9" rail system??

@KingWixo carbine gas system rails (which one XTM pack covers) are ~6 inches, so you'd need 3 to cover 18 total inches of rail.

Wow, that looks badass. Makes me want to get one and go hunt down Osama, or at least have one ready for the zombie apocalypse.
