I have seen a few of these running around the sandbox with the newer SU-231A (Eotech XPS 3-0 in FDE as far as I can tell...) I don't have any pictures of one yet but I will try to get some next time I see one!

 I did the same thing. It happens
Now don't go searching the archives for the SAM-R and SDM-R threads  They should sticky all these pic threads somewhere..

Now don't go searching the archives for the SAM-R and SDM-R threads No kidding. I started my quest after spending time on the Mk18 thread. I had to go the 16" route because of Washington's unfriendly NFA laws. But basically, those jerks over on that thread forced me, at gunpoint, to go buy a brand new 6920 and all the accessories to make it into a SOPMOD Block II rifle. I finished it right in time for this thread to start
Since I'm trying to buy a house, I am staying away from the other picture threads. |

Now don't go searching the archives for the SAM-R and SDM-R threads I am really thinking of doing the same thing. The only thing that''s holding me back is that the block II rifles seem nose heavy to me. I am currently running a 6920 upper with dd omega rail and I really like the way it handles. If I go for a block II setup I'd be doing a 14.5" socom weight barrel with perm'ed aac 51 tooth black out and the dd ris II rail. Anyone have any weight differences or experience with a setups similar to either of these? If so, I'd like to hear what you think. |

I had a DD drop in carbine rail on my 6920 for a few months until I decided to take the plunge on the RIS II. Glad I did. I just use the standard 16" barrel though. I think it balances great, but most of my life growing up I shot my dad's Colt R6601 with a 20" HBAR, so nothing is nose heavy to me. My Block II clone with rail, Surefire M300A, front grip, Troy sights, and SU-231 hanging off of it weighs 8 ounces less than that plain jane A2 style R6601. |

I don't have a RIS II, but a RAS, and was able to counter balance it with batteries in the SOPMOD stock. Didn't seem too overly unbalanced or too heavy.

I have a ris II rail on the way today. Is a special wrench required to install the rail?
I have an ar wrench that will work with a regular barrel nut and what I call a regular quad rail nut that has the circle holes all the way around. Will this same wrench install the ris II rail? If not, where can I find the correct wrench? |

The twins... The color dichotomy is not intentional, it just happened to fall that way but I did set them up to be as similar in function and use as possible. The black VLTOR stock and EOtech 512 were at home on the 6920 for a while until I got the newer style tan stock and the 553. I haven't made up my mind if I want to give the old stock the rattle can treatment to match, the factory stock was on it when I got the urge to try spray painting. I'll get the mags painted eventually for sure though.

Did any of these newer rifles with the DD handguards use a cut down FSB instead of a low-profile gas block?

Don't you big eye face me. Lol rly? When I thought about it in my head it didn't seem like it, then again I am the worst estimator in the world. The rails are really thin and even a low pro gas block just barely fits between them.... But ok if y'all say so |
