Has anyone else's index clips snapped when putting them on a rail? The black clips I received today are crap I think. I busted 7 or 8 clips and I wasn't putting much force to them. These clips sound a little more plastic-y (I know it's not a word) than usual in the tin, too.



I will call LT in the morning and ask them what's up.

I would give them a call... my first thought was out of spec rail, but since it's a stealth, I'll go out on a limb and say that isn't the issue.

This is my 5th set of clips...3 UDE and 2 black. I hope I know what I am doing.  Even so, I don't know how it's possible to do it wrong, lol.




The index clips break in half once pushed onto the rail slots so no way to take a picture.

I've beat some with a rubber mallet on top of my out-of-spec rail before and never had a break. Definitely unusual

While I have never been in the military and won't pretend to have been, I doubt that the blueberry pancakes of the Rangers has anywhere near the visual horrification factor of the dreaded blue waffle...

Two days after I posted this problem online I had new sets of index clips waiting for me on my front door from the folks at Larue. Best customer service I have ever seen.
