    Daniel Defense Mk18 RIS-2 on the way!

    I just ordered a DD Mk18 RIS-2 and the barrel nut wrench. I am planning on a new upper being put together for a current build. Just accruing parts right now and am having a difficult time finding lower parts kits right now (like everyone else). I was fortunate to snag two BCM bolt groups and two BCM M4 uppers (sans barrels).

    Pics to come once the Mk18 RIS-2 arrives.


    Here are the component choices thus far:
    1. SABRE lower
    2. BCM upper (less barrel)
    3. DD Mk18 RIS-2 fore end
    4. BCM bolt group
    5. LMT SOPMOD buttstock
    6. Aimpoint ML3 in LaRue mount
    7. Knights Armament ambi mag release
    8. Troy flip-up front and rear sights

    What I still need:
    1. Barrel.
    2. Lower parts kit.
    3. I think I will pick up a Knights or Troy singlepoint sling mount for the receiver endplate.
    4. Stubby Tango Down vertical foregrip
    5. Magpul MIAD or MOE grip

    Are you using the Mk18 RIS-2 or the full length RIS-2? What length barrel/upper are you using it on?

    Well, I decided to tear down my trusty LMT 10.5 inch upper and place the Mk18 RIS-2 on it. I had previously been running this upper with a Knights RAS-2, LMT fixed rear buis, and Deiter CQD chopped vertical foregrip.

    Today I pulled the barrel and gasblock (a bitch due to all the carbon buildup from copious fullauto fire), chopped the front sight off the gasblock, and gave the barrel and upper a detailed cleaning/degreasing.

    Next up I will contour the gasblock and have a buddy bead blast and re-park it for me. Then the assembly begins. I hope to finish it this week.

    Pictures to come when it is all finished.

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Can't wait to see the pics of your finished product.

    Excellent choice. I have one on my 6920 and it is rock solid, plus you have acres of rail space for all kinds of whiz bang accessories.

    I really like the Mk18 RIS-2, without a doubt my favorite rail system. I do wish DD would put integral QD sling swivel points in the rail, but that is a minor point. Still no pics, sorry guys.....need to FIND my camera.

    Another Mk18 will be heading my way soon to go on the Noveske 10.5 inch upper I bought from Bravo Co. I think this upper will take the place of the Colt M4 SOCOM heavy barreled upper I have sitting on my M16.
