Streeker59 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well here is the new tactical rail from EGW in the states. It's steel. It's black. It's too long and after customs caught me out this time i was only a tenner better off going to the states for it. The scope only just clears the rail end so i may grind it off and use Kold Black is you can still get that stuff. Yes i could use higher mounts but i like to keep the scope as close to the boreline as poss. The rail came with screws and it utilises all 4 holes and not 3 as some aftermarket rails do.. I've used a thin tape between the rail and the action so the receiver wont mark up in use.. Would i go to the US again for such things? Dunno.. It always seems so cheap until things go wrong and this is the second time i've not been 100% happy about the outcome of buying direct from abroad..

Ronin Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The rail set the rifle off nicely, but I would be tempted to mill it flush with the front of the reciever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streeker59 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yup, that's what i'm going to do.. Not really sure why they made it so long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'machined' one of these to fit my M595 Looks a bit messy under the mounts but at the price EGW sell them; a bargain. Even if a bit of butchery renders them completely worthless for resale! They haven't moved a bit either, after 4-500 rounds so solid enough. Robbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
