Will a Daniel Defense Mk18 RISII rail fit behind a standard FSB in the midlength position? With as small a gap between them as possible?

Short answer is no. If you have a low-pro gb, the RIS II MK18 will cover about a third of your gb. In turn, some LP GB's will require some "dremelling" on the bottom to clear the chin.

You need a 9" rail to fit behind the FSB on a mid length.

The Mk18 rail is more like 9.5" long.

Another way of looking at it is that the length difference in a carbine versus midlength gas system is 1".

Unless your FSB (which as stated is more like 1.5") is 1" or less, the answer is no.

Thanks for the answers guys. Not what I wanted to hear, but at least I know.

The DD RISII is a good rail, but there are other options out there that are just as good, and even better, for about the same price.
Don't be too heart-broken.
