Plus, if it came with the rails they're most likely 6063 aluminum. Do your yard guy a favor though & at least wipe the channel with a peper towel: that graphite grease is NASTAY!

boy you aren't kidding! If I find one with the rail I'm always groaning as I reach for my gloves lol. And, I've never had one with aluminum rails, always steel.
