Do you have to mount the rail sections where you wish before you install the rail?  Please excuse me if its a noob question but I'm not seeing how to install the rail segments now that the rail itself is mounted to my Colt.  Help please...

fwiw:

Couple options:

1. You could remove the rail & install the rail sections, suggest placing a locator/marker with a ziptie for reference.

2. Separate the Upper from Lower, remove BCG, & any other QD items to remove weight . . . . .

Then the balancing act ;) . . .
- degrease the screws/threads
- place the rail sections and tape around the center of the rail, do not cover holes, to keep them in place. Blue Painters tape or masking tape
- Slide the back plates and fine adj. with a small tool/punch/q tip to align the backers
- have a screw on the proper bit, slowly thread try to align

* Once the first one is in its easier to screw line up the second, Once secure you can take one out at a time & degrease/loctite.

Hope this helps
