Rail whith picatiny mount for Tac one?

[GoatBoy]

Typical cocker barrel will have at least some point which is 1" in diameter.

I got to thinking about this too actually. Would be cool to have an AM/MM style Rail that's extended out, say to Minimag Body length, with the veritcal ASA in the normal place, just in front of the trigger frame, but have the rail continue with pic rail to the end of the MM body.. I'll try to sketch something up a little later to convey this better.

I'm not an artist.

So after a little bit of tweaking, I can pop out multiple versions of rails at will now.

It all starts out with the super basic rail chunk with the minimum cutouts:



So I can add the cuts to make it more like a stock RTP rail (minus wings; none of my stuff has those stupid wings), plus a warp left notch:



Really, the rail I'm after is something like this uber ULE rail with the pim converted to a classic, and accepts a classic vertical ASA:



Just for giggles I did the Picatinny on a stock rail, roughly as described earlier; has clearance at the bottom so you could fit a plate over the whole deal. Again, I didn't draw the Picatinny, I straight instantiated it from another openscad library. I think the idea is a bit fruity and really interesting only as a CAD exercise:



And I went ahead and cut-and-pasted my ULE and the warp left cuts over to this module for funsies:



Pretty much any permutation between these is a cut-and-paste operation... in a text editor.

Seeing as it's all text (235 lines for everything combined), I went ahead and checked it all into a git repo, just in case.

Any chance you could print a black working model of this?? I need one

Uh, actually I can't personally print one because it exceeds the printable area of my printer. I can't even print a standard sized rail, much less an RTP sized one. Might need someone else to hook you up.

If you just want a rail on the front underside of your gun there are probably other ways to accomplish that though... should state what you're trying to do.

Maybe TheJackal28 can hook you up... He's got some interesting stuff as well.


TheJackal28, did you get my email? I responded, dunno if it got spam filtered though.

Theres quite a few different lengths picatinny rail on eBay.

For prototyping, if you wanted to get something done quickly, you could just hack a chunk off the bottom front of a standard RTP rail, and then drill/tap a couple screw holes and bolt a piece of picatinny to it. It wouldn't look polished by any means, but the cost would be low to see if something like that would be functional.

edit: took a closer look, looks like you mounted your fore grip directly to the rail. Very nice.

I made this picatinny foregrip mount when I was a kid.

I would've loved to have had and a mag rail with a built-in picatinny at the front, but this sufficed for years.

[TheJackal28]

No I mounted a rail coming of the rt and mounted a shroud on the end of the tac rail. The picatinny rail I used was a jcs tac rail that is 6 inches long
