Vector Optics Steel Picatinny Rail Curved – Robust 20 cm 21 mm Mounting Base with Curved Underside
The Vector Optics Steel Picatinny Rail Curved is a heavy-duty 200 mm interface rail engineered for secure accessory attachment on firearms, handguards, or custom builds. Constructed from durable S45C (#45) steel, this curved-bottom rail provides a solid platform for mounting optics, lights, grips, bipods, and more—ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Premium Materials & Build Quality
This rail is machined from high-grade carbon steel (S45C / 1045 / #45), chosen for its hardness, wear resistance, and longevity. At a weight of approximately 230 g (8.1 oz), it provides enough mass to stay rigid under recoil yet remains manageable in handling. The natural steel finish requires initial cleaning with machine oil before applying a custom coating or paint.
Curved Underside: Ergonomics & Compatibility
The rail features a curved bottom profile designed to contour to cylindrical surfaces—ideal for tubular handguards or rounded fore-ends. This unique shape improves attachment stability and aesthetics while maintaining full Picatinny compatibility on top.
Precise Mounting Interface
- Length: 200 mm (7.9″) with 19 slots for full-length accessory placement.
- Rail Height: 7.8 mm (0.3″) above surface, ensuring nominal elevation for mounted gear.
- Rail Type: NATO-standard 21 mm Picatinny, fully compatible with MIL-STD-1913 accessories.
Ideal User Applications
- Custom builds where a curved mounting base is required (e.g. airguns, shotguns, DIY platforms)
- Replacing damaged factory rails with a robust all-steel alternative
- Mounting full-size optics, lasers, lights, or bipods securely and reliably
- Professional or tactical applications requiring long-term durability and alignment stability
