The NATO Accessory Rail (or NAR), defined by the new modernization agreement Standardization Agreement 4694, is a new standard for mounting auxiliary equipment such as telescopic sights, tactical lights, laser aiming modules, night vision devices, reflex sights, foregrips, bipods, and bayonets to small arms such as rifles and pistols.〔(Weapons & Sensors, NATO Army Armaments Group ) 〕 STANAG 4694, was approved by the NATO Army Armaments Group (NAAG), Land Capability Group 1 Dismounted Soldier (LCG1-DS) on 8 May 2009. It will be forwarded to the NATO Standardisation Agency and then onto individual NATO nations, which will test the NATO Accessory Rail system for final ratification.〔(NATO countries finalise plans for a standard rail adaptor system )〕 The NATO Accessory Rail is backwards-compatible with the STANAG 2324 or MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, which dates back to 3 February 1995,〔(Military Standard 1913 - Dimensioning of accessory mounting rail for small arms weapons )〕 and was designed in conjunction with weapon specialists like Aimpoint, Beretta, Colt Firearms, FN Herstal and Heckler & Koch. The Heckler & Koch G28 designated marksman rifle features NATO Accessory Rails.〔(Heckler & Koch G28 )〕 ==Technical specifications== According to the NATO Army Armaments Group the differences between the MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail and the STANAG 4694 are: * A metric reference drawing. * Additional new measurements and tolerances. * Adjustments of some measurements. * Reduction of straightness tolerances with approximately 50%. Another notable change is the recommendation that while in the Picatinny rail system the V-angles are used for the alignment and reference of the accessory, NATO recommends using the top surface instead. NATO tests have shown that the Picatinny rail system does not provide good repeatability. Using the top surface as a reference and alignment of the grabbers provided excellent repeatability.
