Murphy precision titanium rails?

[thinhorn_AK]

Does anybody have one of these? I’m still looking for a light but durable setup for my Kimber 8400 and that Murphy Ti rail looks pretty great. I’d either use Ken Farrell or nightforce ultralight rings.

Is that rail worth the he price?

Thanks!

I have one on the way for a lone peak razor ti. Putting APA 30mm lows. I hope it is good, wasn’t cheap.

Whats the weight difference between the Ti and aluminium?

On the ones for me it is Ti or stainless, I believe the Ti was 4 oz less.

I installed one for a friend. VERY nice. Didn't weigh it, but it felt like nothing in the hand. With Farrell, you'd have a light, strong and low set up. NF would be light and strong too, just not quite as low.

Pretty long wait for aluminum Farrel, so I went APA.

How long?

I believe the APA are lighter and .750 vs .735, so still pretty low. Paired with ti rail should be good

Right now, for the Kimber 8400 they just offer stainless or titanium. The stainless one is already expensive. I’m interested just in the titanium one for weight savings even though the Ti is like 700 dollars more than the stainless one.

I’ve used lots of Murphy rails in both Ti and SS. High quality and fast service. He’s done semi custom work for me too. If ever a problem he’s fixed it quick.

Was it expensive to get custom work done? Or was it pretty reasonable?

At the time he didn’t charge me any different than what a standard one was listed for. I’ve had him do custom hole spacing and custom port cuts. I’ve sent him drawings and talked to him on the phone multiple times. He’s a great guy.

Wow glad I bought a couple sets a month or so back.

Right on, thanks. I was thinking I wouldn’t mind having more clearance to load and eject. Seems like they could fairly easily machine away a bit of the rail.

I suppose I might not even need it.

They are made extremely well. Very lightweight and cut with high precision. You won’t regret it. I bought one for my Weatherby backcountry 2.0 Ti in the last year and will just order from him for the near future.

I have three Murphy titanium rails. He's always done custom work for me at no extra charge. Shortening a rail, or for a receiver he's never worked with - no extra charge. The quality is top-notch.

That’s awesome, I’m going to shoot him a message today, o appreciate the feedback.

I emailed him to see what he thinks. He didn’t get back to me yet. I emailed Ken Farrell like a week ago…and he still hasn’t gotten back to me.

I should have let them know I’m a WKRr.

I called and he picked right up. Very helpful.
