Specialized Tactical Systems has introduced their new Spartha rail named after the Roman blade which replaced the shorter Gladius as the standard sword of the Roman Legion.
Manufactured from 6005 Aluminum it is 12.5″ in length. This free float rail includes thumb locating bars that are used to index your grip as well as mount Picatinny rail sections. In fact, you can mount Mil Std 1913 rails where you need them. The Spartha rail offers ample mounting space for these rail sections. Additionally, there is a full length Picatinny top rail that provides a consistent 12 o’clock rail segment from the rear of the receiver all the way out to the business end of the rail.
The Spartha rail ships with all required mounting hardware as well as one modular Picatinny rail and installation instructions. Offered in Black, FDE and OD.
Someone needs to get in contact with their marketing director, it’s spelled spatha…
Yep.
Maybe its meant as a crossover of Spatha and Sparta, however that doesn’t make any sense at all.
Play on words… not necessarily the sword.
both spellings are used
