So what's the difference between Picatinny and Weaver rails? Is one preferable over the other or have an advantage of the other? Are both of these rails fairly common standards or is one typically utilized more often than the other?
I checked out Wikipedia and it wasn't much help other than saying that the slots on Weaver rails are spaced 3.8mm apart while Picatinny slots are spaced 5mm apart.
