Egw 36'' Unanodized Extrusion

The EGW 36'' Unanodized Extrusion is a Picatinny-profile aluminum rail blank purpose-built for custom scope mount builders and gunsmiths who need to tailor ring positioning to their specific installation. Rather than starting from raw bar stock, this pre-contoured extrusion gives you a genuine head start: the basic Picatinny profile is already machined, so you only need to cut it to length, mill your cross-slots where they belong, radius the underside if your application requires it, and drill your mounting holes. That's a dramatic time-saver if you're fabricating a mount for an unusual rifle or unconventional optic setup.

The Picatinny cross-section accepts standard Picatinny or Weaver-style scope rings, so you're not locked into a single ring ecosystem. The center channel is routed to minimize weight without sacrificing the rigidity you need for precise, stable scope mounting. Because you control where the cross-slots go, you can dial in ring spacing to suit your barrel profile, action geometry, or cheek rest height—something off-the-shelf mounts can't offer. The aluminum extrusion arrives unanodized, giving you the option to finish it however you prefer or leave it raw for a tactical aesthetic.

This is the tool for serious build work: custom gunsmithing, competition rifle projects, or one-off installations where standard mounts won't cut it. If you're the type to machine your own gear or work with a smith who does, the EGW extrusion cuts out the most tedious part of the job and lets you focus on the precision work that makes the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this rail blank and buying a finished scope mount?

A finished mount has fixed ring spacing and mounting hole positions. This extrusion lets you machine cross-slots and holes exactly where you need them—useful when standard mounts don't align with your barrel, action, or optic setup. You do the machining work, but you control the geometry.

Can I use Weaver rings on this Picatinny extrusion?

Yes. The Picatinny profile is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver-style scope rings.

Do I need special tools or equipment to work with this rail?

You'll need a way to cut the extrusion to length, mill cross-slots, and drill mounting holes. The center channel is pre-routed to reduce weight. Radiusing the underside is optional, depending on your application. This is a project for someone comfortable with basic machine work or working with a gunsmith.

What does unanodized mean, and should I finish it?

Unanodized means the aluminum arrives bare, without a protective anodized coating. You can anodize it yourself, apply another finish, or leave it raw. That choice is yours.
