Hello Dale and Erwin also List
I cannot say I like the Aluminum extruded action rail. Getting screws =
back in them without cross-threading when in an awkward space is =
difficult (to say the least) and I guess one only gets so many wrong =
goes at this before the screw hole in the Aliminum rail is stripped. =
Then what? With the S&S may I refer you to Reblitz eccellent answer? I =
haven't had any problem with S&S to date...
Regards from a windy South Downs Village

    Short of firing up the propane, I was thinking of drilling for set

thoughts ? ...
     It works for me. If you can get it solid using this method then go =
for it. I'd use JB weld for this repair.



    I'm not a fan of these rails and wish they would replace them with =
flat rails.
    I noticed that new M&H's have a similar tubular rail. What are they=20
    thinking % ?
    Can anyone espouse their benefit ?
     Rigidity , novelty ,but other systems are just as or more rigid =
such as Yamaha Aluminum rails.
