Rail system
From Gunsopedia
Rail systems are small pieces of metal put on any given surface on a gun to allow attachment of some sort of accessory. On them you can attach everything from laser sights to scopes and R.I.S systems. They make the mounting and dismounting of these artifacts significantly easier.
Two types of rail systems for firearms are the Picatinny rail and the Weaver rail.
