The Picatinny team was headed by mechanical designer Gary Houtsma (who was awarded the Order of Saint Maurice Award in 2014 for this contribution ), who took the measurements from 20 or so different Weaver rail products from weapons bunkers at Picatinny (and even local sporting goods stores) and came up with an average set of numbers set on a 45-degree angled surface. Army was dissatisfied with the contemporary products on the market.
The Picatinny Arsenal was tasked in 1992 to develop a standardized mounting system after the U.S. The rail itself is named after the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, which was named "after the Lenape-named peak overlooking the old forge, loosely translated to mean 'rugged cliff by water' or 'water by the hills'". These were the M16A2 and the M4 modified with new upper receivers where rails replaced hand guards. Specifications for the M16A2E4 rifle and the M4E1 carbine received type classification generic in December 1994. History Picatinny rail dimensions, cross section (dimensions in inches)Īttempts to standardize the Weaver rail designs date back to the early 1980s from work by the A.R.M.S. Once established as United States Military Standard, its use expanded to also attaching other accessories, such as: iron sights, tactical lights, laser aiming modules, night vision devices, reflex sights, holographic sights, foregrips, bipods, slings and bayonets.Īn updated version of the rail is adopted as a NATO standard as the STANAG 4694 NATO Accessory Rail. It was originally used for mounting of scopes atop the receivers of larger caliber rifles.
