Ok, I found this searching for an oaked RIS. Looking at the recipe my question is about the grains. The directions list only some of the grains for steeping but doesn't specify the use of the others. From my limited experience you don't steep six-row or flaked oats. Am I wrong or is this a partial mash recipe?

malt and fermentables
A possible addition would be 4 oz of unsweetened bakers chocolate, broken up to the boil. Steep the black and chocolate malts and the roasted barley in 5.5 gallons of cold water. Gradually raise heat to 154 F, hold 30 minutes. Remove grains and rinse them back into the pot with hot water. Stir in dry malt and baker's chocolate (if used), bring to boil. At first boil, add the first addition of Magnum Hops. Boil 30 minutes, add the rest of the Magnum hops along with the Cascades and Horizon addition. Boil another 15 minutes, add the final Cascades and Horizon hops, along with the lactose, yeast nutrients and irish moss. Finish boiling for 15 mins, then remove from heat, cool 15 minutes. Add to fermenter. Cool to 70 F, pitch yeast. Seal and ferment for ten days+, rack to secondary and age in a cool dark place for a month. Prime with dry malt and bottle. Bottle condition cool and dark for a month or more.
