Last week a showed a picture of the Kraford and Lyph gen 1 GigE- rail on my Prophet2. Yesterday I couldn’t help myself! I threw it in the mill and fitted it to the Prophet. It was surprisingly easy. All I had to do was mill a slot in the bottom it was .475 inches wide and .080 deep. Then added two .177 mounting holes that were on center of 2.480, super easy. The GigE rail are $139 at K&L web site. If someone wants to do this, I wouldn’t hesitate using a file snd hand drill. The area I milled out was minimal.

Here’s what you’ll need to file out.
I really like the look of this gun with the added GigE rail.

Here a close up of the mount

The cocking handle is not bad. A little close, but I don’t think it will be a problem.

Thanks for looking, Mont

Nice looking trigger, Looks like it slips on with to allen screws? Or is that a total replacement ?

I used two replacement screws that I picked up at Ace hardware. M4x15mm in the factory holes. The factory bolts were s little short for the thickness of the GigE rail.

The trigger is the new design I’ve been working on. It fills fantastic and is working great.
Thanks Mont

Sounds like great time!! I hung it over the rear .300 when setting it up. Where ever you choose to set it, keep an eye out so it don’t touch the barrel. If you plan on chamfering the holes. You may or may not know, but metric flat head cap bolts are 90 degrees. Unlike the SAE here in the US there 82 degrees.

FX Impact gigaRail by Kraford and Lypt

Introducing the gigaRail for the FX Impact This rail opens up configuration possibilities the OEM rail was too short to accommodate. Torches, lasers and MOA shifting prisms are now more compatible than ever with the Impact. In addition to more real estate, the pic rail is lower to the barrel...
