Considering I've not really been following the DD line too closely, and I only have experience with their regular LITE rails, I need to get a few things cleared up, and fully educate myself on this new line (or LINES?) of rails.
Here's what I'm trying to figure out, and here are my questions:
1. Just how many different "RIS" or "RIS II" designs are there? (I am not asking about all the different lengths, but how many different MODELS are there? I know gotm4 has a "Mk18", and I know I've seen something like an "M4A1" model or something?????
3. How many LENGTHS are available in each? SO, just in regards to the Mk18 rail for example, does it come in a Carbine length (7"), Midlength (9"), and Rifle (unsure of exact number) ??? How about an "MRE" or actually, what DD refers to as an "FSP" design, which has the POCKET for the FSB???
I'm just trying to figure out HOW MANY different new "RIS" models are out, and how many different lengths, and designs there are of each model.
You get the point guys.
One upper that I have being delivered today, is a new 16" BCM Midlength upper, and I'm trying to decide how many different rails will be available for me to choose from. I MIGHT leave the FSB on this one, but then I also might change to a low-pro gas block. However, this all depends on what exact models and/or lengths/designs are available here.
I really like the "RIS" or "RIS II" lineup MUCH better than the standard LITE rails. They look SO much better, and the removeable bottom rail is pretty sweet too.
I seriously HOPE DD will be able to offer ALL of these rails to us, and most importantly, IN BLACK finishes!!! I can't believe they haven't done so already. (Or maybe they have???)
One other thing guys. Does anyone know where I can get online and actually VIEW some, if not ALL of these rails on a webpage? I am about to check the DD site again, but I'm pretty sure I keep reading that DD still hasn't got them on their website. Hopefully that will change soon. Anyhow, I was just hoping some dealer might have some, or all of them listed? (guessing no one would have ALL, but somebody might have SOME of them listed and pictured?) How about Rainier Arms? They are usually pretty good about showing all the rails. BCM is too, but I'm not even sure if they have these rails do they??
Anyhow, thanks so much guys.
