DM308 Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Having shot the Guardian in Ireland last year i've been trying to find viable uk Arca Swiss rail systems for my AI AT and / or RPA rifles Anyone have any contacts? Know where i can buy the stuff in the UK? Brownells prices are consistently ridiculous and the PRS universal rail isnt!! It's the railchanger i'm after - used it on one of the yanks rifles and it was amazing - very steady shooting from baricades - to import from USA i'm looking at about £350 after tax / import duty / the usual custom fees HELP!! Can't believe there aren't more UK manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon - or is the market too small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yep, my pal makes some beauties for the AX, AT, and AW. not silly money, and superb quality. Give me a buzz tomorrow, and i'll give you his number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Nope, its an engineering pal of mine, who does a fair bit of shooting. If you look at my .22 rimfire thread, I have one on that AT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Personally, I think that’s great. This means that we now have 3 UK choices for Arca rifle rails: Janus Armaments, Precision Rifle Systems and now your friend as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 The Janus Armaments arca rail arrived today from Sporting Services and got fitted to the AX308 after work. Overall impressions are very good. Machining appears spot on and the Cerakote is nice and even. Fit to the AX rail and RRS clamp is rock solid. If I was going to be super picky, the olive green isn’t an exact match for the AI sage green (which I believe is a proprietary blend of Cerakote). However this is a really minor point as you really cannot tell from any distance. Also, it would have been nice if they had included some Keyslot fasteners; I had to use 3 from the long Picatinny rail that comes with the rifle. Overall, really pleased and nice to see another British product. I now need to decide if I am going to swap out the superb Phoenix bipod for my Atlas fitted with an Arcalock clamp.

baldie Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 My friends comes with the fittings, and , I have to say, is far better made than that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Well, you are not wrong. I have to say that looks extremely nice. How does the price compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 From memory, i think they are £125 buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
