The one-piece Kodiak Defense SKS-101 Picatinny Tactical Rail is machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum with a Mil-Spec Type III hard black anodized surface. The Design allows accessories to slide onto the rail from the rear. An integrated shell deflector mitigates “stovepipes” and serves to protect optics from damage. The upgraded mounting system utilizes front locking setscrews and a high grade shoulder bolt in place of the rear take down pin for extra strength, rigidity and safety.
