Can a 416 rail fit on a 417

[Mantle]

Hi all

I have a TM 417 but I want to change the rail but cannot find any. Will rails for the 416 fit on a 417? Is there a big difference? I see that the 416 rail has one screw holding it and the 417 has 2 screws holding it. Apart from this, I do not see a difference. Can a 416 rail still be affixed via the 1 screw instead of 2?

A VFC 416 rail fits a 417?

No. Different sized barrel nut.

It does if you mod the nut , team mate did it .

Not from a 416 to a 417, completely different receiver sizes, different barrel nut, rail attaches differently.

you can put a VFC 416 rail on a TM 416, but a 417 is a different beast.
