Not a complaint as much as advice... The $100 for a swat rail doesn't come with any mounting screws to mount it... one expects bolts or an option to order them
they DO come with the Spinner swat rail but NOT individual Swat rails.

I'd pay $105 for the convenience of included bolts.

ANYONE KNOW WHERE YOU ORDER THE MOUNTING SCREWS? Can't seem to find them in the store.

THANKS!
 
Here are the two that came with the Spinner. Again, does anyone know where we can order these or what other solutions they have for mounting Swat Rails?

Hey Tim,

I've been buying accesories for about a year now (waiting on Epic-X). I have a Swat Rail and Top Handle, and I'm 99.9% sure that the rail came with the same two bolts you have a picture of. The Top Handle came with the same order (and same box), so I can't say for sure if the bolts went with the rail or handle, but I always assumed they went with the rail....
 
Contact your Bomb squadder and ask WTF happened... It should have included two 1/2" 14-20's in the package... All of mine have. Here, I snapped a pic of one still in the wrapper that I just got a few days ago.

That said, half the time the bolts that come with the accessories are not the ones I need to mount them the way I want to use them, so I buy all sorts of other bolts anyway.

You can get 1/4-20 socket-cap bolts from any hardware store. Typically they have 1/4" increments. If you need different lengths, like 5/8", 7/8", etc.. It's pretty easy to order them up online or stop by a place like Grainger or Fastenal. Nuts and bolts and screws are pretty darn cheap and readily available in any size you want if you happen to live near, uh, civilization.
