The short answer is, it depends. The factors we consider when factoring the tolerances are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the overall size of the design<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the design feature in question<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the wall thickness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the alloy & temper desired<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To more accurately answer the tolerance question let\u2019s narrow things down a little bit.

Below is an example of a handguard \/ picatinny rail combination.
