Picatinny Rail for AE MKIII?

[NICKNICK]

I can't find the USO picatinny rail for the Accuracy International AE rifles. I'm assuming they don't make them anymore.

The only other source I can find is Ken Farrell. I've never heard of him and have no idea if the product is good.

Does anyone else make a picatinny rail to spec (i.e. ALL the cross slots) for the AE rifles?

Thanks

it already comes with one why change it? If you want elevation use the ai mount.

Some rings (like Spuhr) need three cross slots in a row. The interrupted slots of the AE mount are incompatible with those rings.

I got a 20moa Ken Farrell mount about a month and half ago. Well made and full railed. Their website picture shows partial rails but the mount is full railed.

Here is the mount on my AE.

Is the SPUHR that good? What does it do that the bader or AI mounts wont do? Not bashing just trying to understand.

Thanks

Rich--

I never had an AI mount, so I can't speak to that. My Badger rings have been perfect. They just sit there and do their job and never give me any trouble. I have ZERO complaints about Badger.

The reason I want to try Spuhr is luxury. I have been thinking of switching to Nightforce rings so I could put on a bubble level top cap, but I like the location in the Spuhr rings better. Also, I like the integrated 45 degree mount in the top cap. Again, these are just "nice to haves" rather than "need to haves."

I've been looking into getting a base for my AE MK III. I want to switch hit my GDI with an AR with a canted top rail. In order to simplify things, a 20 MOA pic rail is necessary. The GDI won't allow me to get comfy with the current rail because of the spacing.

Does the AW pic rail have the same problem with the Spuhr mounts, or is this isolated to the AE pic rail?

I have an AW inbound that I understand is equipped with the pic rail, and I am looking at the Spuhr mount.

The AW does Have a picrail and there is no issues whatsoever.
The AE does not Have a picatinnyrail, it Have something else totally Out of spec.
So for AE users that wanna be sure their gun is compatible with mounts and sights of Stanag 4694 or picatinny 1913 the rail must be swopped.

What options are there if you have the AW 11mm dovetail and want to add a picatinny rail?

My buddy just got a 2009 AWSM and the factory 34mm AI mount wont accommodate his S&B. plus he will need a 35mm mount when his Leupold arrives
