Custom Gun Rails-[video]

AR-15 owners have to constantly resist putting more cool items on their modern sporting rifles, but I couldn’t resist trying out the custom rail covers put out by a company called Custom Gun Rails (CGR) out of Texas.

CGR makes a number of interesting designs that you can buy right off their website, or they can also custom make a cover using a logo, text, or other design. I tried out the laser engraved American flag covers which mount on any standard 1913 rail. Installing them was easy, a simple snap onto the rail, and then there are two screws to tighten with the included hex wrench. To take them off, perform the installation steps in reverse.

The two covers only weigh 11 grams each (about the weight of four nickels) so they don’t add any significant weight.

Bonus points to TFB readers who know the significance behind why the stars are on the right side of the flag in this picture.
