Scope rail ?
« on: December 20, 2005, 06:05:07 PM »
I just picked up a stainless  .243 for my Daughters CHRISTmas present and the rail is black ! I looked at a few online sources and can't seem to find a silver rail. If I just buff and polish the one that came with the rifle will it be silver ? Is the rail aluminum ? or some pot metal ? it feels too light to be steel.

It's aluminum. They don't make a silver rail. :(  You could try to buff it, if it doesn't look good, you could always paint it silver as a last resort. Doesn't make too much difference, there's still gonna be black parts, the hammer, trigger guard and spacer and sometimes the barrel release.  :cry:
