rails
I do not have a pic of the Fulton rail, but am familiar with the rail offered at one time by the CMP, and they are one in the same. I think of the maker of said rail, other rail is "Omega", it most definitely not Ultimak. I have an Ultimak on another make rifle BTW. (AK clone)
There are a few differences in the Ultimak and the Omega. . One is the nature of the attachment system. Which is better between the two may be a toss up. the Omega has more screws, and seems a bit more complex. Both seem pretty stable and sturdy. The Omega has some threaded holes on the body that allow the attachment of Pic/Weaver rails to mount accessories, the Ultimak does not.The Omega sets a bit higher off the barrel, and scopes/optics, , even with low rings, tend to end up a tad higher than the same arrangement on the Ultimak.
I bought both my Omega/CMP, and the Ultimak on the other rifle, used, at good prices. In use, I don't see, much practical difference in the two.
Scoping a Garand seems travesty, until one can't mange the peep sight like you'd like........then adding a scout scope seems not so bad.

Thanks bamaranger, good info. I agree it's not desirable but I don't have the eyes for irons anymore and as such I don't shoot it. Since it's not a permanent change its a good option for me. I have 3 garands, I want one I can comfortably shoot with confidence. Btw where did ou find them used? Trying to justify and additional $50 for the ultimak.

I had the Fulton scout rail for my M1A. It was a very high quality piece. I sold it due to weight, that bugger was heavy! It functioned as advertised.

used
I buy used stuff on Ebay. Multiple accessories like the rails, some grips, a few scarce parts, like for an old Ruger Bearcat, and multiple Leupolds.
Paid about half price on the rails, maybe less. Had to watch and bid on several over a course of time....but it paid off.
