For the vast majority of hunting, sport shooting, and 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 achieve this through superior materials and manufacturing.

  • Lightweight & Strong 6061 T6 Aluminum: We use high-quality, aircraft-grade 6061 T6 aluminum, which provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It's tough enough for years of rigorous use while keeping your rifle nimble and balanced.
  • MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny Specification: Every rail is machined to the precise MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny spec. This guarantees compatibility with the widest possible range of scope rings and accessories, from both Picatinny and Weaver-style manufacturers.
  • Made in the USA: All EGW products are proudly manufactured in our facility in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. From the raw material to the final anodized finish, we control the entire process to ensure you receive a product of the highest quality.
