[QUOTE="rcdinaz, post: 530028, member: 31581"] westcliffe01, completely agree with what you said on the CoLE which is the problem I was thinking of. I may have assumed wrong but I thought high grade aluminum allows like the ones used in building rifles had similar figures to those of steel. I did go look at how badger builds their rails and I will say it looks like the steel they use has very low expansion properties so you may be correct. So I guess there may be potential there with cheap materials. The only anecdote I really have to go buy since I dont have a lab is that I live in AZ and have rifles that have been in 0 degree weather and +150 (in a car) and I have not seen this problem but if it is very small I could have easily written this off as another issue. I guess using like mfg components is a safe play when building or upgrading. [/QUOTE]
