[QUOTE="livetohunt, post: 1984775, member: 100535"] 8” or 10” rail isn’t bad. Didn’t realize they charged that much. My issue is I make all my rails out of 7075, for the 60% added strength vs. 6061 like the rails you mentioned. Unfortunately, 7075 costs 4 times as much as 6061. If I just made them out of 6061 I could make them for quite a bit cheaper than $80. For my 4” rails the material cost is about 20% of the total cost. [/QUOTE]
