      you can still do it a "proper" way and keep that rail. its not liek any of the rails were designed to put a stock like that on. all you need are some spacers that fit in the mills that have holes drilled through them then tap that current rail. not a hard thing to do, heck you could make the spacers out of a bondo like material (im not sure if you could coat the metal with an oil or the like and then use it like a mold so the plugs will come out as apposed to drying and bonding to the holes). then just find soem one with a drill press and drill holes in the spacers and holes that line up and then borrow the correct tap. the drilling and tapping process should take well under an hour, and the plug fabrication should take any where from 20 mins of work up to a few hours (lower for a puddy made plug longer for fabricating out of metal/delrin... hmm delrin would be easy and pretty quick actualy)

          I would be worried about how much metal there is on the rail where you have to anchor it. The grooves milled into the side of the rail are quite deep. I would want at least 1/4" of metal to make sure the screws didn't protrude into the sear area and to have enough strength to hold tight if excess pressure was exerted on the assembly. I haven't seen one of these rails in person, but it looks like there isn't much metal between the outer surface and the sear slot. I could be wrong though.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

            i have one, there is plenty more than it appears in the pictures, there is at leat 1/8-3/16 (guestimations) at the thinest parts of the rail. the mills are less than 1/4 probably more so 1/8 at the deepest part.
