Hi Jon

I suppose it shouldnt be to difficult to find compatible action 
brackets. Rails can be mounted appropriately no problem once you find a 
set of brackets.  If I was to do this kind of thing... tho I shouldnt 
think whatever gains would make it worth my time,  I'd go with massive 
wood rails. The most stable actions I've ever seen have had really heavy 
wood rails for everything.  The Petrof 9 foot comes to mind.  Tho not 
particularly wonderful otherwise, once bedded these things are like 
rocks for the action parts to work off.

btw... I think your tuit is in the corner under the podeye wrench.

Cheers
RicB


    If rails and brackets were available, I would replace Tubular Action
    Rails
    in a heartbeat.  With a little ambition, I suppose I could find them.
    Where's my round tuit....
