Installing the Daniel Defense RIS II M4AI FSP

[skijunkie55]

Just purchased a RIS II for my build. Shipping tomorrow

How much time does it require? Anyone know of a resource for instillation procedures? I have a fairly large number of tools in our machine shop (vice, punch sets, torque wrenches, etc.) and made sure to order their bolt up barrel nut wrench...

However, if those with experience think I'm better off paying a gunsmith to do it, just say so.

OP, its a easy job but which wrench did you get? There is the cheap silver wrench and then their is the armorers wrench that is of the same design. Definitely opt for the armorer wrench as the other one is junk.

That would explain why I never found it... Media to me is commercials, news articles, and "ermageeerd watch our new DDm4 torture test videos!"

(which are pretty awesome btw)

cheers guys. thanks for the help

I use a DD Lite Rail and RIS II on two different carbines. If you have the right tools, you should be done in 15 mins or less. The longest part of the install is screwing the six screw that mount the rail to the bolt up plate.

Having an Brownells' AR15 vice block will help speed up the process, but not needed.

Here's a youtube video of the process. He's installing a lite rail, which is one piece. With the RIS II you'll simply have to screw in the second lower piece as the instructions state.

Yea that is the less than stellar one. It will probably work a few times but it will eventually deform to the point of uselessness. Call D&D back and tell them you want one their armorer wrenches if they have any in stock, they are 20-25$ IIRC.

Out of curiosity have installed one onto a carbine that was already assembled? If so, I would like to know your secret because it usually takes about that long to remove the FSB and barrel nut.
