What uppers can take a KAC M4 RAS?  Which ones can't?  

I can't seem to find the thread on this, but I found the tacked one but my answer wasn't in there.

Well for starters, the upper must have a government profile carbine barrel and gas system.   No HBARs.  Pretty much all uppers available commercially should work.   Colt, LMT, Bravo Co., RRA, Bushmasters, etc.

Bushy 11.5" hbar upper works fine.

I stand corrected.  I thought the RIS can go either way and the RAS was for gov't profile.

well..unless my RAS is a RIS..at least it works good on my 11.5" bushy.

I'm not sure where that RAS/RIS fit business comes from 'cause I've had an RAS on the following...

Colt 16" gov't profile
Colt 16" 9mm lightweight
Colt 16" HBAR
LMT 16" gov't profile
LMT 14.5" gov't profile
Bushmaster 16" HBAR

The RAS will fit all but the thickest barrels. Don't know the measurement off hand. I think the RAS is far superior to the RIS with the lock-up of the top piece which the RIS doesn't have. JMHO

CMMG M4A1 SOCOM barrel uppers are good to go as well.  Just got my KAC M4 RAS installed no problems, although I did scuff the slipring a bit on one side.

I have two Bushmaster 14.5" M4 barrels.  My RAS doesn't seem to want to go on either one..  What am I missing here?

Make sure the rear link is hanging and goes under the barrel nut before pushing the rear of the upper handguard down into place.
