As far as I've seen only USASOC units are running the DD M4A1 RIS II FSB. MARSOC runs DD M4A1 RIS II with NT4s. As far as the stock goes I've replaced them on M4A1s as I can get them as replacements for the Mk14 (what SOCOM calls the M32A1)

What are you trying to do with it?

I've built both and leaned towards B1/1.5 based on weight.
Socom profile with a Fsp RisII makes for a heavy girl up front. Especially if your adding lasers/lights.
(At least to me)

However, a Ris ii equipped rifle does look cooler.

This has been covered before. You don't need dimples. They only help in aligning the gas block, not in strengthening in. At least that's been the consensus. Especially when the gas block is covered by the rail. Or you could keep the FSB and get the RIS II FSP.

Easy, slide your gas block on the barrel. Take a thin paintbrush or toothpick with a dap of paint and mark position. Remove gas block and drill dimple. Never did it that way however. I use a deadlined gas block (gas tube pin and gas port on same side) and routed a 2x4 to serve as my jig. Then drill thru the deadline gas block to dimple, never had one slip off.

Thanks CD. Acquired a Matech rear sight yesterday. Now all I need is the rail, 4 prong, upper, bolt group, lpk, and a 4 position receiver extension. So, I'm pretty much there
