    how rare are eclipse rails?

    Well, today I was fishing through my old gear

    Finally found one of my lost mags, it had one of those newfangled (a long time ago) eclipse rails and sight rail and matching regulator! Are they still around? I wonder if I could sell the thing...or should I keep it?

    Hmm.. depends on the color. If it's splashed blue, then you should definitely get rid of it!

    dibs!

    Seriously though, they're hard to find esp. if you have a complete kit. Does it include the powerfeed plug and/or ASA?
    It's more popular with the "old school" crowd. If you posted it up, you'd probably get a few offers.

              You might just want to start a new thread in the B/S/T forum.. pics would help too.

              I dunno if you can use emag lowers w/ the rail. I don't think it's long enough. They were originally used with the AM/MM, before the RT was even conceived.

                      Ooh.. if only I wasn't going for the whole sleek-modern-ULE-look.
                      That blue kit is stunning!
                      (sorry, the green is great too, but I am heavily biased towards blue)


                      Unfortunately I can't afford to have two mags.. I'm still trying to sell off my old parts to pay for all the upgrades I've been buying.

                        Your missing the tourney lock and the trigger frame as well, so your kit is only about 80% complete.

                        That would be an Air America Whispering Death Expansion Chamber.

                          I have the tourney lock but was un aware that there was a matching eclipse trigger frame as I have had many an eclipse body kit yet never a trigger frame, I have had triggers that match but still had no Idea that Eclipse made or annoed matching trigger frame...Hmmm I'll have to check in to that...

                            there were a few differnt levels. there was a starter kit and an advanced kit that had a foregrip and trigger frame in it, and the kits contents i think varied over the years. there was also a true Eclipse mag that had the full eclipse parts on it. plus you could get individual parts, and a lot of non mag specific parts came from the eclipse spyders, cocker and smart parts lines.

                            an old SP ad from a 97 APG



                            Now, anyone have a Banzai green duckbill asa they can spare, i need one for my project?

                              Does the Smart Parts splash kit = Eclipse splash kit?

                              From seeing a few pics on this forum, some of the splash rails have an "eclipse" label and are milled differently whereas a SP kit looks like a splash anodized AM/MM rail.
