I was wondering if anyone has had problems getting Magpul  XTM enhanced rail covers to snap tight on a Troy enhanced drop in  battle rail?  I am very new to the AR-15 world so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Welcome.

I actually have had those on the very rail you mention.  They clip in nice and solid

Thank you,  I am either doing something wrong or I received a china knock off.  Mine don't even snap tight when they aren't on a rail.

Have you tried another rail?  Anything attached to the rail near where you are having trouble attaching the covers?

That's kind of odd.  I had to snap mine on and off a few times (sanding in some places) to get them a little more loose.



There seems to be quite a bit of dimensional variance when they're molded.

Didn't Troy recently change the dimensions of its rails?

I seem to recall reports of sights being canted, etc.  This might account for loose XTM panels

It's not that they are loose they just don't snap and fall off.  They won't even snap together off of the rail in your hand.
