picatinny rail question

lurkingknight · July 28th, 2011, 17:08

here's what may end up being a silly question, are the mounting holes in rails to mount the rail to the gun always a set distance apart or does it vary from application to application?

I have a mount for rails for my m14, and there are screw holes at a standard distance apart and in the event that I want more rails for whatever reason, if I can just buy whatever extra rail pieces I can find and screw them down without issue.

No, they will be proprietary.

bugger, guess I'll have to buy some long generic rails and do some drilling.

You can get rail extenders:

So get your basic rail, then extend

There's better versions than the above, but I hope you get the idea.

I have this:

http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=31876

It comes with 2 little stubby ones and a longer one plus whatever is on top, I can't imagine needing more than that, but just in case. Turns out there are uncut/drilled ones on ebay that I can just get and drill and cut to my desired length and mount points, if not I can order the longest one I can find and do the same... that's if I need more, which is unlikely as far as I can see.
