There are two lengths of these, correct? Anyone know if there is a seperate designation for each? http://www.danieldefense.com/?page=shop/browse&category=railsystems_risii:railinterfacesystem THE PRICE LIST SHOWS THREE MODELS. THE M4A1 RIS II AND MK 18 RIS II ARE ONLY SHOWN ON THE PRICE LIST IN TAN. THEY'VE ALSO MADE BLACK IN THE M4A1 RIS II IN THE PAST, HOWEVER, AND PROMISE TO HAVE BLACK IN THEIR NEXT RUN OF MK 18 RIS II'S. |

Question answered. No, there are four models not including the color differences. The GL/SSC is not shown in the link you were given, but it is a RIS II rail. GL/SSC= Grenade Launcher/ Sound Suppressor Compatible. If you are interested in the DD RIS II rail, you might want to take a look at the following link. Daniel Defense RIS II Info |

I'm DYING here! Everything rear of the barrel has been Duracoated DD FDE and Tiger Stripe Brown (almost the same color!) and I'm anxiously awaiting a barrel and this hot-off-the-press RIS II... Do you have an ETA? It's supposed to be drop-shipped directly to me... If it helps, you can keep the ERGO panels as an incentive to hurry up! I'd still like the ladder though...

WOW - ME, TOO.
THE RIS II MK 18 IS ESPECIALLY APPEALING TO ME FOR USE WITH 10.5" BARRELS, SINCE THE D-D LITE 9.5 FSP, A SIMILAR DESIGN, IS ONE RAIL SLOT (1 CM = 0.4") TOO LONG TO ALLOW A WRENCH TO REACH THE FLATS ON A MUZZLE DEVICE ON THE END OF A 10.5" TUBE. ITS DETACHABLE BOTTOM RAIL WILL MAKE INSTALLATION OF PWS PISTON SYSTEMS A SNAP, TOO. GOOD SHOOTING, WES |

You getting a Mk 18 to replace the one you sold me? Sorry I took it away from you. 
BTW I'm loving it. My favorite rail by far. Thanks buddy! ETA- I see a GL/SSC FSP in my future if/when they go into production. Also can someone give me a length on the standard GL/SSC and FSP models? |

Yep I sure am 80s! It SUCKS that I decided to go back to one and get to wait 6 weeks for one :-( I'm glad you like the one I sold you. It was a nice rail. I forgot to mention that the two shorter screws go into the bottom holes and I hope you figured that out... |

I heard DD is only making these for the military; the ones we can buy are apparently contract over-runs. Why then are some anodized in Dark Earth and some in Black? These look like the best thing DD has ever put out and they will not even be generally available? I guess the military didn't want the normal ovalized DD profile. |

The shorter bottom rail is what attracts me to the RIS II. I have the DD Lite rail, and that extended lower rail is my least favorite feature. The "ovalized profile" is for the birds....all it does is make the grip area larger than needs be. |

Anyone has a picture of the front-ends of DD M4 / Lite and RIS-II together? My reference pix is that of an M4 vs Lite. I still only have M4 rails, but considering continuous rail that Lite, RIS-II or Omega-X.

Wait, maybe we are on a different page- Which rail are you talking about? The MK18 FSP? I've used the RIS II Mk18 on a build and have a new one on the way, due Monday, and it'll be built then. Quoted: Quoted: Did anyone use WHAT in a build yet? Plenty have used the RIS II MK18. I have a new one due to arrive monday... I'm really interested in seeing this build. |
