In Topic: Tactical Rail Dimensions

16 June 2013 - 10:39 PM

After some more testing today I've come to the conclusion that Nerf does not care too much how standardized the dimensions on these rails are. They are cranking these things out in injection molding machines by the hundreds of thousands and there is no way they're paying attention to tolerances on the tac rails. This makes it a little hard for me to design parts for but I think I can still make it work.

Thanks for the input everyone.

The NiteFinder tac-rail is a smaller on some of them.


Ah, are there any other blasters notorious for this? I'd like to make them as universal as possible.


All of the Nerf attachments rely on spring-loaded clips to hold their attachments to the rails. This removes the need for a truly standardized system, since their attachments can account for slight variations between blasters.


I see. I am trying to integrate something similar by means of a tension screw. However, I have to find good dimensions for the actual rail sliding portion or it renders the tension screw useless.
