Interest in Custom Picatinny Rail for Supernova Tactical?

[John P.]

Waiting on a response still

[Guest DocLRRP]

I spoke with Jeff at EGW today. he told me that an unanodized vrsion was sent to someone on this forum, and that if all goes well it should be in production in about a month. I think that this whole process is pretty cool.

[John P.]

I'm that someone. ;-)

 

Stay tuned!

[Guest DocLRRP]

I feel as though I know a celebrity.

Here's the rail on the SNT, please excuse the phone-cam pics and the aimpoint knock-off

 

 

 

What company makes this rail?

[John P.]

EGW. I've been working with them on this for quite a while, and just test fitted a sample for them today. Production version will be the full length of the receiver, and there will be no notch under the front part. I'll update this thread as soon as they're in production.

[Guest DocLRRP]

Owe you a favor for this one. Thank you.

[Dntama]

Anyone know if you will still be able to use the ghost rings to co-wittness when using this rail ? What size of scope rings would work ?

[John P.]

Even the M4's doesn't allow co-witnessing.

 

You'll need a see-through picatinny riser to be able to use the ghost rings and mounted optics. Or a quick release, cam-style mount.

[Dntama]

That is very unfortunate. It would have been great to have the rails a bit lower to allow this.

[Guest DocLRRP]

+1 to that query. Hope allis well.

[Guest DocLRRP]

Just heard from them via Quantum that the product is on its way. Has anyone else heard??

[John P.]

They sent me (as the product's "remote engineer/cheerleader") a production piece on Monday ... but due to the holiday it hasn't arrived yet. UPS says it'll arrive on July 10 (Tuesday), which sucks b/c I'll be out of town.

[Guest DocLRRP]

They came today! Wonderful! Now, how do I get it in place. I cannot seem to pop out the little rivets. Do I need to completely disassemble the entire weapon? Or, to avoid pain and suffering, take it to a gun smith. Help, PLEASE!

[John P.]

Got mine, too. I was hoping to get it gratis for my efforts, but alas, there was an invoice in there. :-) In any event, it's a great part & I hope you all like!

 

You need to remove:

stock

trigger assem

bolt

 

... then tap out the plugs from inside.

[JonDaddy82]

Can't wait for pics!

[John P.]

Pics tonight!

[John P.]

Sorry these took longer than expected ...

 

 

 

It turned out pretty much perfect in all respects. EGW did a great job on these. Give them a call and tell them you saw John P.'s post on the Benelli Forum!

[rchung71]

Cool. Do I have to call about these, or are they listed in the online catalog? If listed, what are they called? Thanks for pushing this project forward.

[John P.]

Happy to help.

 

I don't think they're listed yet, so you might want to call them. They also have an eBay store--I haven't looked there yet.

[JonDaddy82]

Very nice! Also, do you have a TacStar barrel extension? Also, how are you mounting your sling at the end there?

[John P.]

Yes, that's a TacStar extension.

 

The sling is Quake brand, and comes with their silent swivel mounts. I removed the rear one and looped the 1" strap through the stock's sling mount. It's set up for "Africa carry"--left shoulder, muzzle down.
