second AR

[dizzo]

Started looking for a second ar. I have a colt 6920 trooper.
At first I was looking for a cheap back up. Then I came across this. Kinda looks like a no brainer. I guess the colt would become the back up :D
Anyone have experience with this exact package and retailer?

I have never done business with that vendor but I have that same AR, Daniel Defense DDM4 V7. I have an Eotech on top with a G33 magnifier; great setup. That's a good price, better than what I paid. I wouldn't hesitate to jump on that.

Actually not a bad deal at all for a DD. It is a quality gun but i do prefer BCM and some others over DD because of furniture and things like the way they do their castle nut

It isnt a bad choice at all though. Might want to look into it i think Mrgunsandgear might have a discount code for them to make it cheaper

DD makes solid kit and that seems a decent price.

I’ve ordered from vendor, albeit not firearms. Was a fine experience.
The price seems solid for a nice trigger with a free floated DD.

But honestly...how is this different from your trooper? Unless you just want a second AR without a different sort of application.

[Uni-Vibe]

6920 Trooper is a good all around rifle for defense, competition, etc. The DD no doubt also is, but as has been observed, it's similar to the Trooper.

Why not get something quite different? Brownell M16A1 reproduction, AR-9, M16A4, Smith 15-22?

I have a standard LE9620 and recently bought the DDM4v7 both to upgrade and have a second AR to use as a backup, competition gun, etc. etc. without messing with my primary AR.

For now the LE6920 is going to be fitted with the carry handle iron sight and the standard FSB. I might get a vortex RDS for it if I come across another good deal.

I was originally thinking about a shtf rifle for the wife. My son is only 4 right now, but one day he will need a gun too.
They arent getting any cheaper, and I saw this, so I thought it might be a good time.
A smith 15-22 would be useful, but wouldnt cover the spare shtf part

Next time you shouldn’t post up a link to a site that only has one in stock amigo.

[dizzo]

how do you know there is only 1 left?

[jpmuscle]

How is anything about that offering a value at that price point?

I own that gun. I think that it’s an excellent gun. I am a big fan of Daniel Defense. I feel that they make an excellent product. I would jump on it if I were you.

While there is a benefit to having a backup carbine very similar to the primary, in case the first one fails, I don't think this is completely wise when you've only got two ARs. The chances of the primary going tits up is quite rare.

I suggest the 2nd AR fulfill a different role, either SBR (or pistol) or longer range precision (with a magnified optic). The third AR can fill the role that wasn't taken by the first two.

I bought a Shield from Sportsman's Outdoor Super Store, and some separate ammo, and the transactions were painless. I consider this a reasonable price for a DDM4V7, not the $1650+ that other retailers want.

Love my V7. It has taken me down an expensive path. It’s a smooth shooter. I also happen to like the furniture.

I have purchased one pistol and ammunition repeatedly from them. No problems.

[OldState]

I’ve purchased a firearm from that place. Very cheap prices and free and fast shipping for me. My FFL was familiar with them and vouched before I bought.

[Pappabear]

IF you can get that gun, buy it. I see no issue with buying the same AR, the differentiation comes with the optic IMHO. Did you buy it or was it never in stock at that price?
