rails for euros +add on

andrsn · #1 February 6th, 2003

Anyone know where one might be able to pick up a plastic track/rail for a euro? I've been to JBL's website but don't see that they offer it as an accessory.

Help if you can,

Definitely Hanapaa.

They have 2 types - Aimrite & JBL. If it's a long gun, call them & make sure they send the longer one(2 sizes). They sent me the shorter ones.

Aimrite tracks are a bit higher & have much stronger adhesive to bond to the barrel....... but are nearly impossible to get straight!!!

The JBL tracks are really nice for euros because of their low profile and the adhesive has lsted pretty long thus far. Just make sure to use some rubbing alcohol to clear off the surface nicely before applying the track.

Have a JBL track on my Beauchat. turned it into a brand-new gun. SOOO quiet now! shoots strait....

I recomend taking off the JBL adhesive and using silcone.

Wipe the barrel w/ acetone, scuff both the barrel and the underside of the track with Scotchbrite, wipe again and bond with some 5 minute or two ton epoxy. Lay the track on and center with the shaft mounted in the trigger. Smooth.

FYI - The Beuchat North America dealer located in Miami, Florida (305-548-3483) has add-on rails (both open and enclosed track) for sale for about $15 including the adhesive tape to attach the rail. The tracks are easy to install and cut to the desired length and I think they will fit any euro gun (but confirm with them). I had some installed on my Beuchat, but I have not had a chance to try out the gun yet.

Enclosed track on a euro?

I'd really like to see a picture of that!

Not because I'll be putting 3 bands on, but more out of morbid curiosity

yes it's a little sloppy, but this is a beater gun, so I don't care....

this was a JBL rail. the tape it comes with is crap. used some dow silicon to put it on.

But I do recomend a rail on everything! Going to put one every gun I buy....

Hello !

Sorry to wake up a so old thread, but I cannot get neither a shipment price for France nor the length of such a JBL track from Hanapaa

They do not reply to my emails...

So, if you get the information, I am interesting!

Regards,
Jeff

I got my JBL track by simply walking into first dive shop I found that was a JBL dealer and ordered it. Actually, I did this in 2 different dive stores to compare price. Seemed pretty easy in S. FL. BTW, I believe JBL calls it a true-glide, at least that's what the dive shops looked it up as.

Hope this helps, best of luck with your 'quest'!
