Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: Lol. Well, let's just say between my Brownells URG/ammo purchases and the Federal rebate ammo I got from PSA w/ 5% cash back, I'll be getting a pretty friendly payout in May :D. Kinda funny seeing DD show up a day late to the party; if they wanted to cash in selling RIS IIs individually, they should have done it back when they were commanding $500+ regularly. Of course, this was discussed back when they did the one-day sale thing. Either way, they are the ones who forced the whole "buy the URG for the rail" model on us. I say oblige them; it's the better deal anyway. If you want to get really shifty, time your purchase to coincide with a 10% coupon and AJ doing 6-8%. |

Quote HistoryI've been considering swapping my RIS II over the the URGI version... kinda on the fence. Is buying the stripped or near clone upper still the only way to get one or is there a source for the MK16 rail/barrel nut only?

I don't know if yall've seen this yet, but DS Arms is offering what appears to be a pretty legit Mk18 block 1 complete (no BCG/CH) upper. Here.
10.3" check. KAC RAS, check. MaTech BUIS, check. |

Your better off picking the stripped upper on a sale day and selling the barrel/gb and upper back to the EE. |

Seems pretty straight forward, no? I'd suggest getting a pile of FD258s and an ink pad to roll your own prints - the cards can be had for free from the ATF and the pad from Amazon or Office Max. You can even go a step further and scan your prints for future use (what I do). At the most basic level, you'd just scan a completed FD258, then erase everything but the prints - maybe adjust levels/contrast a bit - and after a test print or two to adjust alignment, you should be good to go. That'll give you the ability to create fingerprint cards on demand just like Silencer Shop. The photo can be done with nothing more than a cellphone camera against a white wall (the white background isn't even required, but that's what I use). In fact, it doesn't technically even need to be in color. When it comes to the photo, they are pretty lenient (just needs to be passport style). For engraving, most do it in the trigger pocket and that's what I'd recommend. Doing the eFile itself is pretty self-explanatory, and there are fairly thorough guides that will walk you through it. |

Efiling is pretty simple. I used a cropped command photo in OCPs, just to test the photo theory lol.
Here’s another “non photoshop” photo 
Actually it’s the Lightroom app you can download on the App Store. It’s pretty fucking handy and makes photos turn out great with just a click of a button. But here’s purple in the sun, before I added the cqd’s which btw is slightly gaping in the rear lol. Maybe I need to bend it to straighten it out.

What kind of gadget would one use if you wanted to accurately measure the diameter of the gas port?
I didn’t know about this thread last year when DD did their “initiative” and I bought my RIS II, and also the DD barrel and upper. I would have tried to measure it when I took the gas block off to install everything if I had known. Now it’s bugging me enough that I may take it all apart, but I want to have the proper tool first. Doesn’t help that DD never responded when I asked them about it. |
