The LaRue Tactical LT708BLK IndexClips provide low-profile rail protection that maintains the slim profile of AR-15 handguards while offering enhanced grip and heat protection. These polymer rail covers snap securely onto 1913 Picatinny rails without tools, creating indexed finger positioning for consistent grip placement.
What Makes This Different
Unlike bulky rubber rail covers that add unnecessary width, the LT708 IndexClips maintain a streamlined profile while providing tactical advantages. The indexed design features raised sections that naturally position fingers for repeatable grip placement. Each cover weighs only 0.2 ounces compared to 0.8 ounces for standard rubber alternatives, reducing overall rifle weight while improving handling.
Key Features

The polymer construction handles temperature extremes from -40°F to 180°F without becoming brittle or soft. The covers protect exposed rail sections from impact damage while preventing clothing snags during tactical movements. Competition shooters benefit from the repeatable grip indexing, while duty users appreciate the reduced snag profile and improved weapon retention.
