I bought some from the 80/20 garage on EBay. Shipping didn't seem to be to bad unless the piece is over six feet. Sometimes they have scratched or used pieces deeply discounted.

When I attempted to find an 80/20 dealer from their website, every single local dealer was wrong. Had to call them.

Is there a general guideline as to what size rail to use for a given weight rocket? I've heard of standard rail and extreme rail, but the web sites referenced don't call it that. I have a PR Mongoose 54 which I am assuming would be a standard rail (1010?) and am contemplating an attempt at L3 certification (well, actually I've ordered the PR 7.5" components, so it's just a matter of when ) which clearly needs a larger rail.

80/20 has a 1010 and 1515 most commonly used in rocketry. 1010 is roughly 1" square, 1515 1.5". The 1010 uses standard sized rail buttons, the 1515 has a larger rail gap. The 1010 works great for smaller rockets. You will find a great deal of debate on 'smaller', anywhere from under 50lbs to under 100lbs. I would not be shocked to hear of someone using 1010 for a L3.
