Shellback Rails
These are Striker rails, so I had no worries when ordering these for my high cut ACH style helmet (Delta 4 HC). These are good to go. A great replacement for OpsCore skeletonized ARC ACH rails.

Who Needs Ops Core Rails?
These Shell Back rails are awesome. They feel extremely durable and are a great fit for things like the 3M Peltor Mounts designed for the Ops Core Rails. I did a high cut conversion and wanted to save some money on the rails without buying the cheap flimsy knock offs and this was a fantastic in between. Fast shipping too!

Helmet side rail kit
Arrived promptly, came with new hardware, everything lined up perfectly. Studs were slightly larger than the original bolt holes in the helmet, so a bit of work was required to install those. Fit the contours of the helmet well. No complaints, and I'm pretty picky.
