Just picked up a RTP rail, and I pulled my old twist lock pin off another classic rail.
It's the same assembly right? I can only fit the lock assembly in about half way and then it gets stuck. I don't have a rubber mallet or anything to really knock it in there, but I never recall other ones taking this much force either. Is it just a tighter fit that I'd need to possibly shave down or open up the hole on the rail?
Or am I wrong and there is a completely seperate lock assembly for RTP rails vs. classic rails. I'm a mechanical engineering student and so I have a moderate shop that I can access with a pretty good drill press if necessary.
Let me know what you guys think. Personally I think I just have a slightly large pin assembly or slightly small hole in the rail.
Thanks,
Sean
