The Aim Sports ARDCA dust cover provides essential protection for AR-15 and M4 rifle platforms against dirt, debris, and moisture infiltration. This mil-spec component maintains the ejection port seal when the rifle is not in use, extending operational lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic aftermarket covers that may warp or fail under stress, the ARDCA features precision-machined construction with proper spring tension for reliable closure. The black anodized finish matches standard military specifications and resists corrosion better than basic painted alternatives. Dimensional accuracy ensures proper fit without binding or interference with bolt carrier operation.
Key Features

Field testing demonstrates reliable function across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F without binding or failure. The cover automatically opens during firing cycle and closes when the bolt locks back, maintaining protection during transport and storage. Law enforcement agencies and competitive shooters rely on this component for consistent performance in dusty, sandy, or wet conditions where debris could compromise rifle function.
