Its not that gard to make one, I think it would be easier than spending the money on it. Save up and buy somethiing else and get your own rail too.

i have a homemade rail in my backyard, heres how u go about doing it

straight rails are easiest, you can either by tube rails, or flat sheet rail. I purchased two 15' tube rails and made a double barrel shotgun rail.

the biggest thing in making rails is your welding skills. Shitty welds lead to shitty rails. Practice on scrap metal before you weld good steel together (cause materials for rails arent cheap, even if its left over scrap). Its better to get the weld right the first time then to have to grind and cut it off

c rails, s rails, require a pipe bender. Unless someones father works in plumbing or construction, your going to have to pay someone to bend the rails for you. So that all adds to the cost

kinked rails are possibly to build at home. You would need a large amount of welding or heating and bending skills

unless your really serious about getting into a rail making business, stick with straight rails made at home. Anything else is just DAMN HARD. Good luck

In the 4 rails that we own... we have PVC piping on 3 of them. It works great. And it's very slippy. It is not so good though... because when you catch a lot of edges it gets really knicked up. But as long as you dont catch an edge you're good.

I have also heard that masonite works good. It's used for flooring in homes or something. Whatever it is... it's supposedly really slippery and great for rails. You might also want to try that.
