This is written in response to several recent email and IM that I've gotten. Hopefully this will answer some question, or at least provide a basic reference for the listed items.
I should point out that I do not work for Daniel Defense, though I do have quite a few of their rails, and use them on my duty and training weapons. These pictures and comments are mine, and reflect only my own views and thoughts. I should point out before we start that all of the DD rails are available with either the M4 or Lite rail series (except the RIS II), and I've tried to show pictures of each.
See the Daniel Defense website for official info.

DD 12.0 FSP
The DD 12.0 FSP is a rail that extend, and wraps around the Front Sight Base of the AR15/ M16 family of carbines. Uses for this extended rail space are limited only by the imagination and needs of the user. Bipods, sling mounts, or in my case, extending a light are only a few. For my uses as a city police officer, I originally used a 12.0 FSP to get my light out farther, which reduced the shadowing off my 16: carbine barrel. Below are a few pictures of different setups I've used and shot.
