I like your M-16A5 concept! Whenever I escape Hawaii, I'd like to do an M4A2 project using the DD 9" Omega M-LOK Rail and swapping out the government profile with a pencil barrel. Enjoy your videos, keep doing what you're doing.
Quad rails were cool in the 2000s and can still make sense is you want a stiff, heavy rail for a dmr type rifle. Mlok is so much lighter and cleaner and perfect for a light weight build.
I really liked the aesthetic with the ras but I still like it with the ris 3. I hope you enjoy your rifle. I just recently found your channel and one thing I've really liked about it is that you are posting multiple videos about the same rifle and you're clearly shooting it quite a lot. Sooo many gun channels will do one video about one gun and then they'll never talk about it again and you never see it in any other videos or b-roll. Those channels are just advertisements masquerading as reviews. If you watch channels like yours, hop, Brassfacts, focustripp, trench grenade,etc, if you pay attention you will see the same guns and optics over and over again because they're still buying stuff with their own money most of the time and then telling the community how it performs. Yes, all those channels do get stuff sent to them too but its not like Garandthumb where everything is an advertisement. Run your dissy bro, looks sick and i hope it shreds.
I couldn't justify buying a RIS for my KAK dissipator build, so I went with the 12in C4 for $200. It might not be as secure as DD rails, but I like how quick it is to attach and detach. I also considered the QRF12 for $180.
I completely agree on the building decisions. I also did a RIII MK18 build, to me it is more about the practical use of its form factors. I don't care about any of the traditions or clones other than appreciate them as pieces of history. I just got a complete DD upper, then went with whatever I feel is the best with the current offerings. I would much rather put attention on double checking the torque specs, setting up accessories in the most comfortable way, tuning the buffer and spring, and keeping an eye on how it wears. Now it runs perfectly smooth and soft with 5.56 suppressed or loud. Tested functionality using 223 with a heavier buffer unsuppressed to make sure it is not under gassed, but don't usually run any 223.
@@shootintheshtpodcast Respect. The one I saw was toward the beginning. At the 2:22 mark. But yeah I'm also a fan of the ris iii rails. Looking at getting the DD mk18 with it.
Excuse the noob question lol. But what barrel length and gas length allow you to put the FSB in front of the 12.5 RIS3, you’ve inspired me to make a build with the ris 3 I won at a match!!
I have a quad rail. Mid west industries 15 inch quad rail. I don't call my rifle a "dissipator" hahah but i like quad rails for the simple fact. If shift does happen picatiny is the most common attachment style in the world. And its a lot of material protecting what i would consider very important parts on the rifle
It’s a 605/ dissipator due to it being a rifle length gas and a 16 inch barrel. I agree about the commonality but I also would disagree due to Mlok taking over
people will praise quad rails until they need to do CQB or rifle drills with them all day. MLOK rails being almost half the weight, while still being modular and backwards compatible with pic rail sections is a huge W.
@@shootintheshtpodcast Since I run a G$ SuperDuty now, the 13.5 inch MLOK rail on it weighs in at 13.4 oz; the KAC RAS rail on my M4A1 was 14.2 oz. DD's RIS 2 is 17.1 oz. Sure the RAS and RIS2 rails were probably "stronger", but I am not sure they were worth all of the extra weight, especially when you add light/laser, and optic.

Thank you! I definitely will. I like the concept and will continue to update as I can
I did that with my A5 build, it’s a Criterion Core 20” with a RIS III rail.

It does shred, I do love it, and I’m glad you enjoy the content man! I’ll keep it up as long as I can. You are awesome! Thanks for being a viewer

Love the RIII rail. But it isn't really lighter than RIS II, they are within 1-2oz if I recall. The feel and handling is so much better!

Love the video. Question? Is your B5 and grip in woodland or multicam camo?
Thank you. I’ve been looking and trying to decide which pattern.
@@georgeazar6879 this one is in Multicam from B5 but I also just got the woodland for this and this B5 set has moved to the 20 inch
@@shootintheshtpodcast love them both. It’s a hard decision. I have some accessories in FDE. Do you know which camo would match better with FDE?
@@georgeazar6879 definitely the multicam would be better suited. Or just spend all the money and go M81 everything 🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate our guy leaving in the clip of him accidentally yeeting his mag down range 🙂
At the end of most of my videos I always put in bloopers if I have them.

What is the length on your RIS III hand guard? Front sight post is the shit.
12.55 is the length

The weight difference isn’t much, but I do prefer Mlok and it is marginally lighter

@@Clockwork0nions definitely not worth the extra weight. The RIS III is definitely worth the purchase over the RIS II
Ris3 vs ris2 weight is negligible
Ris 2 weight is only 1.09 oz heavier than ris 3. (17.7 vs 16.61)
I don’t need a dissy…… but dang would I like one !
Ohhh I think that means you need it
So, your beef with the A5 is that…it was never adopted for troops and people like it a lot?
@@BrothaGoodReps no, my beef is that it’s touted all over the internet as a recoil reduction machine, and it’s not.
Prefer the RIS II for ease of attaching gear, but both are great. Agree on the QDs with some mfrs.
I hear you, but Mlok is also really easy, may I ask why it’s not in your opinion?
I don't think it's the cloner more than the resellers.
The cloners allow it. They pay the ridiculous prices
Not a fan of the RIS III. I know the quad rail is supposedly out, but it works just fine and for the MK18 gun, it looks much better!!
M5 and RISIII means you need a 203 now.
Sure
