Yes, that is true, The rails create the necessary space needed for the dart tooth to move out of the path of the dart when it's retracted. I hadn't thought about that, but it makes perfect sense when you look at the pic above. Good catchCerr.

When you get rid of the teeth, the necessity of having the rails is moot. And I can confirm, it does work better without them.
