Slim aluminum M-LOK handguards keep your rifle platform maneuverable, but thermal transfer during rapid fire can quickly make the forend uncomfortable to hold. Unprotected M-LOK slots can also catch on gear or wear down gloves over prolonged range sessions.

The Magpul M-LOK® Rail Covers, Type 2 deliver a extremely low-profile, direct-replacement thermal barrier that snaps straight into your handguard without adding unnecessary bulk or weight. Engineered using Magpul’s aggressive TSP (Trapezoidal Surface Projection) texturing, these two-piece covers provide exceptional hand traction in muddy or wet environments. Each cover snaps directly into individual M-LOK slots using an locking tab system—no tools or T-Nuts required.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

• TSP Aggressive Surface Texture: Features raised trapezoidal projections that channel away moisture and secure support-hand grip during high-recoil strings.
• Tool-Free Two-Piece Snap Lock: Uses a center locking wedge that expands inside the M-LOK slot to freeze the panel in place without hardware.
• Ultra Low-Profile Ergonomics: Adds minimal thickness to the handguard, preserving a narrow grip circumference for maximum C-clamp control.
• Bevelled Anti-Snag Edges: Smoothly rounded perimeters eliminate sharp edges that might snag on sling webbings, barricades, or tactical gear.
• Non-Orientation Specific: Installs in either direction, allowing seamless color mixing and custom layout configurations across your forend.
