Please let us know how it goes.
 
I know very little about rail guns do they take a lot human error as far the shooter out of the equation
 
They remove gun handling errors, but you still have to tune the load and manage the flags. And if you shoot a rail like most folks do, run shots fast too (with the ability to hit the brakes when conditions change).

You have to absolutely, positively and without a doubt keep them from moving on the bench. Clean scuffed up super feet with water under them on concrete benches, a formidable front bump stop massively steel C-clamped to the concrete bench and sand bags/ shot bag/ lead cut off bags on top of the base and leade feet of the base.
Then you have to handle them gently cause they still want to move !!!
We didn't have to worry about this when we could sledge hammer the spiked feet into a concrete top but somewhere along the line clubs got all sensitive about divots in their concrete bench tops. Kelbly's never seemed to care.( it's just concrete, who cares ?)

You'll likely get all kinds of answers as far as torch on your block screws. I've had guys tell me to tighten the piss out of them and other say 40-50 ftlbs. But you need to go in a off set pattern when tighting. Like 1,3,5,7,9,2,4,6,8,10 and keep repeating that process til tight to the the desired torque. As far as lube goes PMA sells rain gun lube for your guides. It's super slick and takes just a drop. Having a rail gun will damn sure teach you how to read wind flags
 
It would be inch pounds, not foot pounds on the block, and clean and lube the threads. Tighten in a cris cross pattern. I use Ballistol for lube. Buy a can, split it with 10 of your friends and you'll still have a lifetime supply. Even enough to sprinkle a little on your spam sammich....
