Install full length top rail and install the 2 1/4 x 20 flat head screws and then tighten everything down.  The #38 rail has 15 pressed lugs (#10-32 thread) installed down the rail for attachment points, unique clamp bar with square screws to lay in the receiver channels, locks down with 3 (#8-32) locking nuts.  Rail is notched out over the BN area for PRI gen III forearms.
