20 moa rail questions

[Drillbit]

Just wondering how much thicker a 20moa rail is at one end compared to the other and how long it is?

Can someone please measure one for me?

If nobody replies by the time I get home, I'll check mine. I have a 0MOA and 20MOA EGW rails.

One MOA is one thou in 3.6"

So if your base is, say, 6" long from front to back, and you have 20 thou of tilt in there, the difference in height from the front to the back would be:

.001" times 20 times 6.0"/3.6" ---> .033"

I think that this would change depending on what rifle they are made for.

Thanks! That makes sense
