The Daniel Defense RIS III AR-15 handguard is a free-floating handguard that eliminates interference between the barrel and the handguard, resulting in increased accuracy on the AR-15 it is mounted to. The RIS III Rail Interface System is based directly on the two-piece RIS II handguard that has been used by U.S. Special Operations Commands since its adoption in 2006. Now, the RIS III rail system provides the same proven free-float design while reducing weight and adding versatility by including M-LOK attachments for accessories and an integrated sling attachment point. With this handguard, you can have a secure mounting system for any accessories or attachments for your setup.

- Free-float handguard
- Aircraft Grade 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
- 7 positions of M-LOK Attachment along the length of the handguard
- Secure 6-Bolt system to securely attach the handguard to the Upper Receiver

- 1.34-inch inside diameter

Daniel Defense’s RIS III utilizes its proven 6-Bolt attachment method to create a solid connection to the upper receiver, eliminating any loose movement while simultaneously ensuring stability and reliability for the shooter. Additionally, this handguard features a continuous 1913 Picatinny rail interface along the top of it, allowing for easy optic and accessory attachment, as well as providing numerous attachment points via the 7 positions of M-LOK attachment along the rail. The RIS III Rail interface System is compatible with RIS II bolt-up systems and the RIS II lower rail, making it possible to seamlessly integrate into any existing setups you may have.

Daniel Defense RIS III AR Handguar 12.5” /BLACK
The best of the best really is solid rock the fit is solid and precise
USFantastic Rail (RIS-III)
I love everything about the RIS-III rail. True to Daniel Defense's promise of being able to swap from the RIS-II to the RIS-III without having to remove the barrel nut, I was able to take the old RIS-II rail off my DD M4A1 and use the existing rear plate to fasten the RIS-III rail down. Which was a BIG time saver compared to requiring a complete removal of the barrel nut. In terms of fit and finish, the RIS-III M-LOK rail is far and away the sturdiest M-LOK rail I have ever owned. There is no bending or warping whatsoever when attaching accessories (foregrip, flashlight, etc.) to the rail. Separately, I really love that the internal diameter is wider than the old RIS-II rail. I believe the RIS-III offers like 1.38in internal diameter while the RIS-II offers a mere 1.25in. Making the RIS-III far more compatible with aftermarket barrel and gas block swaps. Needless to say I highly recommend the RIS-III rail, and I also want to thank ar15discounts.com for another great purchasing experience. The RIS-III rail was in stock, as the company advertised and the package arrived right on time.
