Got 1010 from here. IIRC it's just drop shipped from Grainger but free shipping.

@prfesser Terry --Query: is there any known issue with third-party 1010 or 1515 rails? I mention it because it seems that some (many?) third-party 20mm rails have slightly different dimensions that do not play well with railbuttons; they can actually slip out of the rail. Could be quite bad to have that happen just as the button was pushed.
The 1010 railbuttons is designed to be used with the 1010 aluminum extrusion from the 80/20 company. The rail is 1" x 1".
Our 1515 railbuttons are designed to be used with 80/20's 1515 extrusion That rail is 1.5" x 1.5"
Mini-buttons are available in a 3 piece nylon version and also the new 1 piece Delrin version.
Both are designed to be used with the 80/20 20mm rail.
(They may not work with some of the off brand extrusions, use genuine 80/20 extrusions for best results)
They work with the Makerbeam 10mm rail and also the new Makerbeam XL 15mm rail.

Many places re-sell legit 80/20 including Mcmaster-carr.I thought you were supposed to get them from 80/20 - or the rails will be similar, but not the same and may not work for rockets.

I ordered from here. If I remember, it drop-shipped from MSC. Seem to be the best way to get what they have, but they don't have a lot of the things.
I picked up a genuine 80/20 2020 rail from Grainger > Framing Extrusion: 20 Series, 13 ft Nominal Lg, 20 mm x 20 mm, Single, 4 Open Slots, Adjacent-SidesI thought you were supposed to get them from 80/20 - or the rails will be similar, but not the same and may not work for rockets.

Picked it up at the local Grainger avoids shipping costs.
They also carry 1515 rails: Grainger > 80/20 - 1515 Rails
