    Default Guide Rail Bag

    I notice the fit for 2 1400 rails in the bag is a tight fit. Does anyone have any tips for storage in the bag to not cause warpage or any other damage? Such as putting them in back to back etc.
    Regards
    Les

    Les, I keep two 1400 mm rails in my rail bag all the time (several years) and I've not had any problems with warping. They won't fit back to back, at least not easily. The only issue I've had is with the splinterguards. What can happen is when you've moved a worn splinterguard there is a small gap between the rubber and the little metal lip. The fit in the bag is so tight the splinterguard can be pushed back up against that lip moving it from its place. This happen when the bag is kept stored on its side, this puts pressure on the splinterguard that it taking the weight of the rail. If stored on end I've not had this problem happen again. Let me if this make sense.
