I'm torn on which rail to buy between the Daniel Defense Lite and the RIS II. They're pretty close in price and, from what I've read, are both well-made rail systems.
So... which one do you guys think will retain its value better over the years if I later decide to resell it? The RIS II was chosen for a military contract, would this make a difference? |

So no evidence of a military contracted piece of equipment losing or holding more value when compared to its commercial AR counterparts? Why don't you do some research on the used pricing of each? Why don't you just buy a used one to limit your losses? I consider this thread as part of that research since there's a wide-ranged knowledge base within this forum. I might check out a used one though, good idea. |

Rails are not collectors items. They lose value as soon as you unwrap them, and more when they are installed. You may find someone to buy it, but there is nothing to say that they will appreciate in value. Yup. Check the EE. Rails usually sell for between 2/3 and 1/2 of orig price. Buy an used one |

Get what you think will work best for you. |
