*PRS80032 is a saw cut length of blank extrusion. It has no mounting holes and has not been machined or plated. The extrusion surface has a “waxy” film from lubrication applied during the manufacturing process. It will need to be thoroughly cleaned prior to any painting or plating.
PicatinnyRail
Our high strength pic rail profile conforms to MIL-STD 1913 and is cold drawn extruded here in the United States from our own dies using low carbon steel. This raw blank extrusion is a lightweight (.5267 oz/in) with a minimal mass cross section (.1158 in²) and is just 5/16″ in overall height or thickness. Recoil grooves conforming to MIL-STD 1913 are then machined as well as weight reduction and mounting holes. For corrosion resistance and reduced light glare, we use a hot oxidizing process (MIL-C-13924) to produce a black oxide iron magnetite (Fe3O4) finish.
