Omega Rail question...

[Mega Man]

Is the Omega Body Rail made of aluminum? and if it is, is it lighter than the stock rail? Thanks.

[cphilip]

I know it's aluminum but I have no idea if it's lighter or not. Ask Tunaman about that...

[Mega Man]

thanks Phil. I figured if it was aluminum it would be lighter but it is bigger than the stock rail so I'm not to sure, I'm guessing the weight difference wouldnt be to noticable anyways.

[cphilip]

Yes, its not realy all that much difference realy is my guess. I had one in my hand the other day but did not have a stock one to compare it too at the time and never have weighed ether one.

I'm pretty sure its at least a bit lighter.

Mag_man_2000: Stock rail is also aluminum. Only the Body tube and valve assembly are stainless on a stock mag.

mykroft, didnt know that, but after takin apart my mag and holding it i guess it is aluminum, thanks.

Also those aluminum rails are able to be lightened even more. I've gotten mine done by RogueFactor. Shaved about 4 oz of weight off.

yes its lighter its milled like the ule body rail except its not for emags.

[TheJester]

yes, they are a tad lighter

[Cryer]

I noticed a big difference between the 2 rails. 5-6 oz, I'm guessing

[FlipShot]
