Glad I watched your video, adjusting the detent was super helpful.. Since SI doesn't ship any instructions I had no way of knowing the ball detent that keeps the door closed is adjustable. Good Video. Thanks!

Very sexy Mid West set up, loving the build good sir. I don’t know why your vid would get a thumbs down must be those who don’t have style lol very well made video and instruction on installing this product. Just got mine today so now I’m excited to install, hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy during these crazy times.

Sure, super easy when you have that type, with the detent. I have never seen one like that before. I just installed my first one today, and it was a PAIN! Had to remove that tiny "C-ring" from the pin, then remove it while holding the spring so it wouldn't fly off, then once I got the pin started into the new cover (and the spring), I fed it back through, and also had to twist the spring on the "long end" so it would have the proper tension. After I got it fed back through the holes, I had to put that tiny "C-ring" back in place, using tweezers, a small flathead screwdriver and small hammer. This would be a DREAM for me!! I need to look into getting this style! The easier, the better!!👍

I purchased the new style flag model ( but I prefer the look of the older flag model ) to put on my new Aero Precision M4E build and it does NOT work correctly!! The door barely spring open and seems weak. Knowing this couldn’t be right I took my weapon to 2 local AR builder shops who a told me it was a bad unit and to just use a regular dust cover. I have sent 4 emails to Strike Industries without a single response. I’m very disappointed in this product and the lack off customer service.

I purchased one in Dec. the detent baring popped out while shooting. The only issue is the customer representative gave me a hard time for not having a copy of the receipt. Still replaced it going to add a little locktite to that screw that keeps that baring in place this time.

I bought one about a week ago but sadly it is still on backorder. I'm going to paint it with black spraypaint to cover up the logo then I will be putting it on my aero m4e1 upper receiver so it should look super sexy. I don't think I'll be using the rubbers! Didn't know that the detent was Adjustable so thanks that's awesome. Very glad I didn't buy the v seven dust cover before.

These are so stupid easy to use. I think you'll be very happy with it. It should work fine without the rubber bumpers, but it is weird just how quiet it makes the dust cover.

Is the Aluminum UDC as thick around the rod housing as the polymer one?? I hope its thinner since the aluminum is much stronger. I had to shave plastic off mine to get it in there and it still doesn't fit properly.

@user-mt4vo4ey5n 6 жыл бұрын

I'm having the exact problem with the plastic one you are I think. The springy detent end won't just pop into the hole an snap in place like its supposed to. I finally fore it in but it does not move freely. When I pull the charging handle, it slowly moves out about half way and stops. It's rubbing in places I can't see. Wish I never bought it.

BEWARE** Strikes Industries UDC gen 2 (aluminum version) doesn't work with AERO M4E1 Threaded Assembled Upper Receiver but it does work in their Aero Gen 1 version upper. I just installed in both uppers and chatted with AERO customer service and they claimed that their new upper are Mil-Spec but clearly it isn't from the field of view i'm witnessing- the clearance isn’t the same and I have tried installed in 2 different M4E1. AERO is offering to have it inspected, stay informed.

@jamessutton8491 6 жыл бұрын

Not exactly the same, but I had a different dust cover with fitment issues with the M4E1, the V-Seven aluminum dust cover, and it only required a tiny bit of filing down of one corner to fit. The port edges, where the door fits inside of, is a smidgen smaller on the M4E1, and prevents the door from closing all the way.

@user-mt4vo4ey5n 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, well I paid I think $12 for this UDC plastic dust cover and it just pissed me off I had to custom fit it for 15 minutes. I have a mil-spec cover I bought after all this for $6 that had no issues. I have 2 AR's. One doesn't even have a dust cover. Dust covers are "overrated".

First up, why is your optic so far forward, half on the receiver and half on the non monolithic rail? How are you getting eye relief?? It doesn't look like you're buying junk equipment but you are putting your things together like you are someone who does buy junk equipment... With that being said I had a Strike Industries dust cover and forward assist installed in a nice upper I won. Both parts failed and broke. Junk imo, too bad bc the aesthetic is good.

These dust covers have a bad spring detent design and it will put premature wear on your upper receiver.......Mil-spec is designed to last and are just as easy if you take the time to learn.....
