Abstract
A rail attachment assembly for attaching a firearm accessory to a first or second rail system includes a main body comprising a first side having a protrusion configured to mate with a slot in the first rail system, a second side having a protrusion configured to mate with a slot in the second rail system, and an aperture. The rail attachment assembly also includes a cavity in the firearm accessory configured to mate with the protrusion on the first side or the second side of the main body. An aperture extends through the firearm accessory. A fastener is positionable through the aperture in the firearm accessory, the aperture in the main body, and the slot in the first rail system or the slot in the second rail system. A nut is attachable to the fastener to secure the firearm accessory to the first rail system or the second rail system.
