Film: Fitting a picatinny rail to a custom action

[Roe]

I've made a short video showing how blank picatinny bars from Brownells is fitted to a non-standard action, in this case a Sako.

We "neverminded" the finish as my rifles are working rifles, so you guys with custom actions might just want to specify a slightly better finish. What should be noted is how easy a machinist can fit a picatinny bar to an action. In this video we use aluminium and to secure the rail we add some very fancy glue used in the offshore industry as well as unusually strong screws. The scope will break long before this rail moves. Hope you enjoy!
