Well dimensioned but extra holes - AIM Sports Inc Uncut Rail Blank

This is a well made unit that will work for almost any application. It is a solid piece and the dimensions are consistant and right to mil-spec. The only problem I had with it was the fact that it has two large holes drilled in it, one at each end. When I think of an uncut picatinny rail I tend to think of it as a blank rail with nothing cut out. It wouldn't be so bad if the holes were of a usable size but they are about 1/4" and the hole at one end is slotted. I attach these rails to custom rifles with #8 screws which would just fall through these large holes so the ends of the rails with the holes had to be cut off. This resulted in a 12" rail that should have made 2 scope rails now yielding 1 scope rail and a useless 4" piece of rail left over to sit in the drawer of my tool box. Bottom line is if you need a rail with large holes in each end this unit is for you; however, if you are looking for a "blank" rail, look elsewhere as this unit yields too much waste to be economical.
