    I too really like what Im seeing so far, minus the one-piece part but unfortunately, from Justin's post: "Unlike the other rail systems offered by Daniel Defense, the DDM4 Rail will only be offered as part of a complete rifle or upper receiver group and will not be available for individual sale. Versions being replaced will continue to be offered to customers through dealers, by phone or online at www.DanielDefense.com."

    Exactly my speculation too. Beat me to it.

    I think the new FSB looks goofy, and are they really stamping "DDM4V1" and "5.56" on the upper? I think that looks funny too. Wont stop loving them though!

    This would be nice as a V5V1...

    Exactly.

    Whaaaaah, I NEED a fixed FSB for all my combat operations.
    Whaaaaah, I don't like that the bottom rail is so far from the bore.

    So DD comes up with something that, combined, addresses these issues, and we get...

    Whaaaaah, I don't like that they redesigned the FSB!

    I like the new rail. It looks like this is shaped more like the RIS II rail.

    It looks like DD has increased their MSRP price according to their website. It will be interesting to see the actual price in stores.

    Yes, they did make a small price increase. DD dealers have to sell around MAP pricing so in theory there should be standard pricing.
