What do they stand for and the differences in them? I know RIS = Rail integrated System? RAS? SPR? I read it DOES NOT mean Special Purpose Rifle. So what is it? |

RAS = Rail Adapter System FF RAS = Free Floating Rail Adapter System RAS II = FF RAS that attaches to front part of flattop rail instead of barrel nut. SPR does stand for Special Purpose Rifle. Based on the M16. There are two versions of the SPR. Both have FF handguards. Mk12 Mod 0 has a carbon fiber handguard and the Mk12 Mod1 has a Knight's aluminum handguard with integral rails.

Quoted: SPR? I read it DOES NOT mean Special Purpose Rifle. So what is it? There are still some who insist that "SPR= Special Purpose Receiver", which it was originally. "Receiver" changed to "Rifle" when the "Special Purpose" application spread to other types of rifles, such as the Rem 700, ect. |
