I have been lucky enough to have invested in crypto a couple years ago and after everything that has happened recently I'm ready to splurge a little. I've just gotten into thermal and now I think I've made up my mind in purchasing a RDIAS for a ar15 platform. Are they just that rare or am I not searching the right sites? Can someone educate me on this and post a link if you know where one is for sale or not. Thanks

Yes, they are that rare. Around 10k were made and registered as transferable prior to May 19, 1986; since then, some were lost or confiscated or otherwise destroyed, and the vast majority of the remaining RDIAS are owned by people who will never sell them -- gotta wait for them to die and their estates to list them.
Of the ones who do come up for sale, many are sold by the owners to their friends, and are never listed for sale.
So now, maybe 15 or 20 come up for sale every year. Most of those sell within days or even hours after being listed.
Best bet is to post WTB ads everywhere, particularly subguns.com, and be prepared to pay up.
Sorry, but IMHO it is what it is.
Your Mileage May Vary.
