So I have the ALG emr rail which is very thin and round. It starts to get a little warm after 100 rounds and have to modify my grip to using only a foregrip (I use a modified c clamp grip with it while I test what grips I like). I'd like something to cover up a few rail sections to improve heat dispersion and make it easier to grab on to. I see a few models on the market but they aren't specifically for a round tube. I think these would work best (and comes in purple of course). http://ergogrips.net/products/rail-covers/m-lok-wedgelok-slot-cover-grip-purple-4-pack.html

 

Opinions? Other options?

I know they are not purple, but I have been using a combo of the 2 Magpul offerings:

 

Type 1:

Type 2:

Right side of ALG tube:

 

As a right handed shooter this setup gives me grip and thermal protection where I need it.

 

I have 2 rifles set up this way, and it works very well.

HE those are exactly the pics I wanted to see. I'm going to order that handstop kit. My question for you is that the type 1 look like they are for round tube and leave some space and the type 2 look like they are for flat ones and fill in a lot of room. You have a combo of both. Did you find that necessary to get the grip you wanted?

I originally had just the Type 1 (slim rubber panels) on there, with a single Type 2 (textured plastic rectangle) that you need to create space between the rear "hook" and the front hand stop. I realized I wanted more space between the two protrusions so I bought another pack of the Type 2 panels to extend the front hand stop to where I wanted it to be and now it is perfect.

 

I was messing around with some of the spare Type 2 panels and put some at 12 o'clock figuring it would be nice for my thumb to have some grip and a nice tactile reference point. Then I thought it would be nice to have some under my palm as well. So far I really like it.

 

You can not wrap the whole handguard in the Type 2 panels. They will not fit correctly in the 5 and 7 o'clock slots if you have Type 2 panels installed in the 1 and 11 o'clock positions as well.

I guess I'll buy a pack of each and go crazy lol. Thanks for the help
