    Need help installing rail...

    I just got the Eclipse rail but I noticed it doesnt have the small barrel guide as the factory rail. Now when I put my barrel, it just keeps turning and doesnt line up right. How do I swap the barrel guide from the factory rail to the Eclipse rail?

    to be honest, it's much easier to get a new 'twist lock assembly' as they are seated in the rail quite tightly.

    To put it in, take a male end of a quick disconnect, settle the nubbin in the assembly into the end of the male quick disconnect, and use a press or something of the like to press the assembly into the rail.

    hope this helps. You might want to pick up a Rail Bushing also if you don't already have one. An advantage of getting a new twist lock assembly, is now you have a backup rail, just incase

      I managed to get it out. I sprayed it with some oil, put a thick rag over it, and tapped it out with a hammer. I installed it into the new rail just the way you said and it worked perfectly! Thanks alot!
