You won't be disappointed with any of the Geissele rails, MRF. Which reminds me - I repainted my T1 and stuck it back on my M4 a couple of weeks ago:

I wish I'd weighed both when I had my RIS II. Not scientific, but I can remember thinking both guns were the same weight and the RIS II was M4A1 length. The Mk1 and Mk2 aren't light for tubes.
-
I'm surprised the Mk4 is so light - that's good news. Are they shipping with the aluminium barrel nuts?
My Mk2 has a steel one and it's heavy! Appreciate the Mk4 is the lite version, but the barrel nut really tips the weight on the Mk2.
-
Fair points - it's where I got mine from.
Will be interested to hear if Arms Unlimited ship. Shame they don't have the 416 one.
-
Arc Precision in the UK also does the Mk2, dude. They can ship to a lot of EU countries.

DD iron up front really sets it off for me. Nice one, Ivan

Here's a pic of an RS Noveske Keymod RIS section (it was mine before I sold my NSR). So, you can probably see what MB was basing their work-around on.
What my friend has done is remove the locking lugs. They are not attached to the RIS in this instance, so you're G2G.
So, I suppose what we've leaned from this is that Keymod accessories structured as above should be avoided or will need to be modded.
-
+1 You just remove the Keymod specific lugs from the RIS piece and you're good to go. A mate has one. Took him a while to figure it out, so I'm not sure how widely known it is. Probably something Madbull should be clear about.I'll be honest I didn't actually notice the lack of key mod on the bottom! The panel that fits to the keymod literally just screws into the holes on the bottom if you need it. And you can put a MOE VFG directly onto the rail as you would a MOE foregrip. Yes it's not 100% true to the real steel which I guess it most important in the long run but it's still a fantastic rail. I'm sure Madbull had their reasons for not including the keymod on the bottom!
Have you tried this? Because the lugs can be removed from RS Keymod panels, too.Only because MB designed it that way. Other KEYMOD components won't fit the bottom rail if you remove the locking nut and just use the screw to lock the RIS to the MB NSR.

Yeah - those helicoil insert things tend to show up on the better RS bits and are invariably pink-ish
-
One of my favourite rails. Awesome build.
-
I think I got that one from a US ebay seller. I'll have a look and ping you which one.
-
Thanks mate. Yes, real EXPS.
-
Ivan - that is just awesome
I still haven't gotten around to heating up my AAC hider on this build, but a slight change as it now has an EXPS in place of a T1:

That's why I was a careful to say 'style'...but a great explanation of what that actually means. I didn't know half of that.
I think you raise a good point with the whole rolled on thing, in general. FCC are now also doing rolled on style trades. So only a matter of time before it becomes more widespread, I'd wager.
I hope to have the SGT 416 7075T6 upper in my hands tomorrow, if anyone is interested.
-
Suzutomo Gun Tailoring does 'rolled on' style trades. They can also add forge markings to uppers.
They've recently released a 7075T6 416 upper for PTW and will be bringing out a lower, shortly.

Yeah - Dytac's Invader rail is pretty much a cross between a Troy TRX and the RA.

The pic above was featured in a Defense Review article, so it's 'In The Wild' validated.
