[QUOTE="Goss, post: 1042213, member: 87830"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Greetings, [/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]I’ll be adding a Picatinny Rail Mount on a rifle but I do have a question. Most Picatinny Rail Mounts come in one version or another of aluminum. It just seems like the difference between thermal expansion between aluminum and steel makes an aluminum Picatinny Rail less accurate than a steel one. It’s no big deal to machine one up, but the aluminum rails are quick and cheep.
