May be a silly question (and yes, I searched) but will the Magpul XTM rail covers fit the quad rails on a 308 AR? I don't know if the diameter is different because of the barrel contour and as a result the rails are made wider. Any help?

Here they are on a free float four rail. This is over a .995 bull barrel. Pretty big profile. I think they look good. They should fit fine. A rail is a rail is a rail. The dimensions will be the same.

Perfect. Placing my order now. Anyone know how many it will take to cover an 11.5" rail on three sides?

Each pack covers one side of a 7" carbine rail. You'll need 1.5 packs per side so five should do it.

Perfect. I ordered 6. 3 ea of black, FDE and foliage and I'll have a couple extra in case one breaks or gets lost.

btw what kind of optic is that wearing? Not sure I've ever seen one like that before and I can't make out the brand on the parallax knob.

It's an inexpensive Leapers fixed four. It's real clear and holds zero great with an illuminated, red/green mildot retical, but being only four power the parilax covers the dang target at any distance. I bought it for a .22lr trainer build and figured I'd put it on this rifle until I could get something better. It really is a great little scope and will be good for hunting but no so much for any kind of precision work on paper.
I just measured the panels and each one covers 1.5" of rail. But I see that question has been answered. I think you'll like the covers. They look good, don't faulter in use and have a good firm feel to them.
