    I really wish they could have shoehorned the RIS II down to the width of the older M4 rail.

    That's still my favorite rail profile - you'd think the extra ~1/8th of an inch on either side wouldn't matter much, but it bothers me enough that I went and found an FDE M4 rail for the last upper I put together. It's just a bit lighter, too, which is a bonus.

    The RIS-II is very lightweight. Its not a TRX, but much stronger mounting than the TRX, for a few ounces more.
    Yes, the RIS-II is very lightweight, relatively speaking. However, the Omega X, M4, and Lite rails are all lighter than the RIS II. Not only that, the Lightweight SS barrel produced by Noveske is 6 oz lighter than their Recce SS barrel. You can save almost half a pound by going to the Lite rail with a Lightweight SS barrel - that's significant.
