One review says that the rubber on the top of the rail smells bad. Is this true for all of them or just that one?

Sounds like you are the unlucky one as the one we received was just fine - no bad smelling rubber - and my husband loves it!

Nothing smells bad on mine, but then I don't have any rubber on top....it works perfectly and does help my mother to get up.

It has been over a year since we got ours. I'm not positive, but I vaguely recall that the vinyl/rubber sleeve may have had an odor (as some vinyls do). If so, it was nothing that putting outside to air didn't take care of, and not having it on the railing during the 'air out' period wasn't a problem as my mom has all her mental faculties. All in all, I would recommend buying this particularly if it is for a more or less temporary need (recovering from surgery). If it is permanent, you might/might not want to buy a fancier one. This is compact and packable for easy travel, if need be.

Yes, it's great. Only problem I have with it is that if stinks like rubber badly.

I have not noticed any odor. I still am happy with the purchase. It fits my Ruger SP 101 well. It is my favorite holster for that gun. It does not have perfect molding for any particular gun, and I see that as an advantage. if my shirt exposes the holster, it still does not look like a revolver.

I have not seen the product, because I ordered it as a gift for my mum who lives oversea. It looked like foam rubber over rail.

I have put it on rubber many times (but not necessarily on an O ring or air gun), and no degradation from what I can see. You may want to check with the air guns mfg though. I'd think it should be ok though.

I think it has a slight smell but the smell does not stay with you long. I would not consider it rubber like. It is hard for me to cmpare to another sent.

hi,After a few months, the rubber smell diminishes, but does not go away completely. I have a full set i got 8 years ago and up close, the rubber smell is still noticeable.Gene

No, I got mine exactly a year ago and it was fine. Still running great. All I can think of is you got old stock that has been sitting around long enough for the rubber to harden. I would send it back.

I personally can say that I am very satisfied with my air rifle purchase. So far it seems to hold up to everything I remember as a kid with the one I had then. My brother-in law has an older model from the past and everything looks more or less the same. Being honest I must say that my new air rifle will most likely not come close to the use my older model did. I just don't seem to be as interested in pumping the handle as much! The first two hundred rounds I have fired so far, have been with no problems so far. Hope this helps you with your decision.

Hmm it shouldn't smell like rubber. I would bring it back to the store and exchange it for a new one.

mine did also, my son adjusted it and placed it back on the weapon shot over 200 rounds since with no problems. If not I would have sent it back as it got wobbling got worse until it would not stay on weapon rail.

We purchased our Drive Medical Footstool several years ago. We've never had a problem with strong rubber smells.

I am just a consumer - but the rail is softer plastic and pretty flexible. It just might work. Its pretty cheap so it may be worth the risk. Sorry if it doesnt work - just thought I would reply.

Yes. It has a rubbery smell, but I didn't keep mine long enough to see if the smell dissipates over time.

What you're smelling might be ionized air. It has a odd smell that you'll get used right away. Then again it could be plastic and you might have a problem so I'm not sure if you're satisfied with my response. The ionized air smell is a good thing If that is in fact what the smell is

The rail comes off! I don't see it being an issues being confined on all sides but I don't want to answer that question for sure.

Not sure, the smell isn't very noticeable. It's more of a strong rubber smell
