QPQ treatment of Picatinny rails

QPQ is a nitrocarburizing process with subsequent polishing. It provides steel rails with a hard, corrosion-resistant surface without noticeably changing their dimensions.

Picatinny rail with MOA cant

A rail with MOA cant moves the scope's elevation back, providing more elevation adjustment for long distances. When does this make sense?

Picatinny vs. Weaver

Picatinny and Weaver are similar, but the slots are not identical. Fit and compatibility depend on which way the combination is oriented.

MIL-STD-1913 vs. STANAG 4694

MIL-STD-1913 and STANAG 4694 describe the same Picatinny rail, but STANAG tightens some tolerances. The difference is smaller than the names suggest.
