This rifle is a very serious value, and a very serious working gun. Daniel Defense didn't cut corners on this gun. Its got everything you'd want in a Mil Spec gun: MP tested barrel, carrier and bolt (not batch tested. Each part is tested), Mil Spec barrel steel, Mil Spec receiver extension, properly staked carrier key screws, F-marked FSB's, and its built to a standard. The extras are nice, too: Magpul MOE stock, DD's new 12.0 FSP Omega rail, DD's cool new vertical grip, their new A-1.5 rear sight, ladder rail covers, and machined in-house upper and lower receivers. The lower has what they're calling an "enhanced magazine well", which means its flared a little more at the base to act a little more like a speed chute, and to guarantee that it'll work with all the good mags. In fact, it comes with a P-Mag from the factory. For $1599.00, this is a LOT of rifle for the money.
There are better descriptions of the DD M4 elsewhere, so I'll leave you with what I've already typed out, and I'll go ahead and throw my photos up here, too, even though they're shared on a couple forums already. What can I say? Its been quite a while since I've blogged. I seem to be doing this lately: extended times away from blogging, an then several posts in a day. I kinda hope I don't make that a habit! lol!
Hardshell case even has the Daniel Defense logo on it:
What you see when the case is opened. Notice the P-Mag on the right under the manual:

Little bit better view of the receivers, rear sight and MOE buttstock, as well as the cleaner rail/receiver interface:

It comes with DD's brand new 12" FSP Omega rail. This thing is just cool. Notice the scallops on the rail channels. DD does attention to detail:

The carrier key staking job. This is what it's supposed to look like:
The Magpul arumilum trigger guard. I have this same part on Schwaggie; its the HEAT! Covers the gap and makes plenty of room for shoosting with reasonable grobes on...and it looks cool as hell:
It's me, but I lives by da PERSEC! I love how far out I can grab this fore end:

Aaack I'm dyin' from COLD, that is Teh SWEET HEAT!
OOOOOOOOOOO, I want to touch it!
Haven't heard one negative thing about the new DDM4 yet! Get'n one this week...thanks for the pics!
I'm pretty comfortable saying that his gun puts Daniel Defense at the top of the heap. They're in the same class as Colt and LMT.
"The Magpul arumilum trigger guard. I have this same part on Schwaggie; its the HEAT! Covers the gap and makes plenty of room for shoosting with reasonable grobes on...and it looks cool as hell:"
Sorry to necropost, but did you have Hasher write this part? Some of the spelling looks like his work. :)
Just sayin'...
Nope. Arumilum is my word, "shoosting" comes from Austin Powers, and "grobes" is an old school LF reference. I generally misspell on purpose. Hasher does it as an SOP. lol
Well then, disregard my former comment. I apparently still have much to learn.
Love your blog by the way.
Thank you for the kind words!
