This is our cornerstone product line and the trusted choice for shooters across the nation. EGW Standard-Duty Picatinny Rails offer the perfect blend of precision and lightweight performance. By using high-quality 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum, we can offer a rock-solid, universal mounting platform for virtually any rifle and optic combination at an unbeatable price point.
For the vast majority of general-purpose applications, an EGW Standard-Duty Picatinny Rail is the ideal choice. Our rails are engineered to provide exceptional stability and zero retention without adding unnecessary weight to your rifle setup.
We use domestic 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for this series. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it tough enough for years of use while keeping your rifle nimble. Unless you are shooting extreme magnum calibers or using your rifle as a blunt force tool, 6061 is more than strong enough to hold zero forever.
Not sure which rail to choose? Here is the breakdown:
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of our Picatinny rails is backward compatibility. The slot spacing on a Picatinny rail allows you to mount virtually any Weaver-style ring or accessory. However, Picatinny accessories will not fit on Weaver bases. Upgrading to our rail gives you the best of both worlds.
Absolutely. Every EGW rail comes with the correct high-tensile Torx® screws for your specific action, along with a Torx driver bit. We recommend using a torque wrench set to 20 in/lbs and a small drop of Blue Loctite for installation.
It's easy. Use the "Filter By" menu on the left side of this page (or the "Shop by Brand" links above). Select your gun manufacturer and then your specific model. We machine rails for hundreds of specific actions, ensuring a perfect, no-gap fit for your receiver.
