Timber Creek Outdoors Billet Dust Cover - Black

10/10 for looks. Fit and finish are nice. Seems to fit fine with my upper after a bit of adjusting to the detent. My issue was with the installation. Its designed to be installed without the handguard in place. Not an issue, I just prefer to switch dust covers the other way. It does not utilize the c clip style retainer. I ended up using the rod from my vseven dust cover that this replaced. Also, the detent was a bit difficult to thread in place and caused me to scratch the inside of the dust cover and mar the screw a good bit. Still functional, however, I just have a brand new unfired dust cover with scratches on my rifle. Not a huge deal. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a custom look to their upper. Although, if you’re impatient or do not want to remove your handguard, you will need to use a milspec style rod and c clip.

No issues with install at all, anyone that says it doesn’t work 100% just didn’t install the spring correctly or adjust the top pin to snap and release correctly. Didn’t have a noticeable area for the microscopic C clamp washer thingie but hasn’t given me any issues

I received this as a Christmas gift to go with an Aero slickside upper. My wife knows PA is my go-to vendor so I assume she bought it here? I read a bunch of negative reviews on these & wondered what they were all about? So before winding the spring, I installed it on the rod. Snapped shut perfectly. Installed the spring & now it will no longer close? I take a look at the back see the short end of the spring is getting squeezed between the receiver & the dust cover. I simply bent a 90° angle into the short end of the spring, just low enough that it doesn't get squeezed between the receiver & the cover and it's perfect. Timber Creek should remedy this, but it took me 10 seconds to diagnose & remedy the issue. I have a hard time deducting points when the issue was a non-issue. Don't let a spring outsmart you & if you do, don't tell the world about it!

Does not work any upper I have. Does not latch. Looks great but absolutely worthless. Not even worth my time to go through the return process. I had also reached out to the company and it’s been several days and still no answer. If you want to buy it, DONT.

Looks good but did not fit on my upper correctly. Would not close all the way and could easily be opened with just my finger. Also the rod it comes with is a great touch but only if you have your handguard off of the barrel. It has a notch on it that can only allow it to be installed starting from the right side and going towards the left side. Not good if you planned on installing with the handguard already on and didn’t have a spare kit to use for the dust cover. Overall not a bad product. Just didn’t fit right for me. No issues with PA! Always stellar customer service. Plan to return it soon!

This dust cover is great. I looks and fits perfect. For the money it is a way better value than the V-Seven offering and unlike strike industries it is made in the USA. Can’t wait to buy more as well as try other Timber Creek parts
