      That, and you'd either have a "lump" or need to shorten the sear axle. That's why I was thinking he should look into an old piece of extrusion, if one can be found. Cheaper too (probably).

        goodluck,
        extrustions are long gone.
        i know of one person who has some lengths of extrusions,
        but have yet to hear from him,
        he is pretty busy, and hardly ever back in the US

        still can print it, even can cad it to whatever you would like.

                I can do the CAD in just a few minutes because I have a cad of the stock rail. However you don't even need a cad file to program it. The setup time and fixtures to do these odd-ball angles of the side profiles are not worth the effort to do one rail.

                        Looks pretty good right now.

                            It all boils down to the time that's already invested in designing the AM rail the first time which was hours and hours work. Once the profile geometry and the working geometry (That's a term I coined to explain the areas of a part that have to do with the function of part, i.e. sear, bolt holes, etc) are done it's easy to manipulate changes. With my current files I could design a working factory AM rail 10, 12, 14 inches long in a matter of minutes. Adding the extras like ULE milling custom sides etc would take extra time, but a basic rail in any length would be easy.

                              It's functional has all the milling
                              its like when I said "i needed a slug rail milled to look like aam/mm rail" they thought i needed it milled from scratch instead of a slug rail that needs milling.....i lose um

                                Where did it come from? From a distance it looks like one of mine, did you by chance get it from knownothingmags?
