Mil-Std-1913 Rail

Mil-Std-1913 Rail, also known as Picatinny rail, is a standardized mounting system used on firearms and accessories. It consists of a series of evenly spaced, raised, and grooved metal strips that run along the top or sides of a weapon. This design allows various attachments—such as sights, scopes, lasers, or lights—to be quickly and securely mounted or removed without tools. The standardization ensures compatibility across different manufacturers and equipment, providing flexibility and modularity for users who want to customize their firearms for different tasks or preferences.
