Dollar for Dollar, Colt vs DD
Well after much research I have narrowed down my options to two. This will be my 1st AR and I want something decent. I was hoping to make this decision on my own without a typical noob thread like this but I'm torn and really would like some input.
I'm fortunate enough to have found both of my desired rifles locally, and at reasonable prices ...
Colt LE6920MP FDE $1029
Daniel Defense V5lw $1349
I'm torn because as much as I like Colt and FDE, I would probably end up replacing the plastic hand guard with a mid to long free float rail and need to replace the FFS with a flip up. At that point I'd have about the same amount of money invested (if not more) as I would if I buy the DD plus sights, now.
My question is if they are both going to wind up costing me roughly the same, would the Colt still be a wise choice or is the DD a no brainer for that money?

I was in the exact same situation a couple of months ago, at the end of the day the DD was exactly how I wanted it and I am not disappointed. Bought the deal from G and R. Got the DDM4 v7 with a free Aimpoint PRO.
DD and don't look back

DD M4V5LW, hands down.
All the benefits of a 12" handguard while still feeling like a lightweight gun. That rail is my favorite quad on the market and DD only sells it on their guns. Not to mention the QD endplate, better barrel, midlength gas system, beveled magwell, and lifetime warranty.
I sell Colts and DDs all day long.
Can you tell I love my M4V5LW?
Re: Dollar for Dollar, Colt vs DD
DD will give you a much more customized gun. Colt is the standard, but with that you won't get the latest cool kid setup.
