Hey all, have a picture request. I’m trying to do a build of M4A1 that was upgraded, but this thing is having somewhat of an identity crisis. Using a C AF and an early SOCOM profiled barrel but my RIS II is 2008 dated, which is great, matches the SU231. I cannot seem to find any pictures of the early iteration of the RIS II with these vent holes.
Anyone have a picture they could drop? I’ll continue my research as I’ve come up empty handed but figured I’d ask here. This upper needs some work but finally finding the time to tidy it up. Thanks!!  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

You guys are awesome, really appreciate the lessons and pictures!! You’ve given me some keywords to punch through this thread through Google searches with.
Do we know if my version was used in service? Assuming so and that’s why the revision? If so, any pictures of the holed version like mine in use? ETA: I don’t know the validity of what’s said here but the timing is interesting in relation to the date on my rail. http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum/showthread.php?241-Daniel-Defense-RIS-II-A-Brief-History&highlight=Daniel%20Defense |

...It's never done. My old Primary Arms clone flashlight finally took a dump after 9 years and thousands of rounds so I replaced it with a Surefire this time. I took the LPVO (Strike Eagle) off and put the Viper on it to see how accurate it is at distance on a bench. Even with cheap ammo it's more accurate than I am and I can sure see better (100 to 200 yard targets) with this scope on it. Shoots really well with some 69gr ammo I had.

Now I’m probably wrong on this
BUT I remember reading somewhere the RIS 2 was originally designed with the intent to use on the A4 while looking to enhance the rifle to the next gen- like an A5. So yeah, I guess it could show up on a 20” with an FSB or mk12 gas block. Edit: I read it from a post in 2008 by Stickman. I don’t know shit about the guy other than he takes lots of fancy pics of guns and gear. |

But I can't see a gas block on that guy's gun. It's 20+ inch with mid or carbine gas

Just an evolution of the SPR with today's parts. Could also use the Geissele URGI/Mk16 rail I guess. I know of one group that is looking at the concept. Remember the SPR/Mk12 used items that were commercially available in the mid/late 90s. With shrinking budgets and using what is already in the system to fill your requirement. Like most hobbists, using what we already have to fill the need.

@Combat_Diver Have you ever come across the clamp on MK12 gas blocks on any of the rifles you worked on? Saw some pop up as surplus take offs and was curious what they may have actually been used on.

And my wallet isn't in a "Get both" condition I vote for non FSB if you’re going for magnified optics. Yes, I know the FSB will be gone or a shadow but why not just go clean from the get go… unless you get a killer deal on a FSB rail. Both are awesome in their own right but having owned both, I prefer the non fsb, personally. Oh, and if you’re going the pin/weld route, there is no question - non fsb for sure. |

That’s what I’m doing. I’ve already got the non-FSB. I’m building an FSB with a KAC NT4 currently. My non has the Eotech and Magnifier currently but I’m going to pick up an Elcan for it, and move the Eotech/mag over to the FSB. |

I’ve done several FSB uppers because I prefer the aesthetics but have swapped them all out to non FSB; the way I hold a rifle and with my body proportions, my thumb always wants to ride over top FSB so the non fsb rails it is, otherwise I’m riding block 1/mws style with a broom handle |
