HillBilly2 9 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I was looking at a friends new S12, and noticed it looked a little different. It took me 3 times to notice it did not have an optics rail. This was a NIB late 08 with just two gas ports. Now this gun has never had a rail, the holes aren't there and they've not been welded over. At this point I'm uncertain if it was a 19" or 24" barrel because I just got hung up on the missing rail. So, what's up with this? Is it unusual or common? FWIW, I liked the clean look of the receiver without the rail so much I'm thinking about removing it from my gun.

Does not/ did not come with an side optic rail. Edited March 27, 2009 by lipadj46 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
