    Not to knock DD's quality, which everyone knows is there, but one reason I stuck with BCM is that they offer simple rifles with few upgrades so you can customize them as you wish.

    Nothing wrong with DD's offerings, but an increase in production might have been more welcome than more options.

    How about it, DD? How about a simple, old-school weapon at a low price that the owner can customize himself as funds allow? And how about making a lot of them so people don't have to wait months?

    Seems like they are just trying to streamline production to me. Hopefully this leads to reduced times in the future. Some people prefer having a ready to go rifle right off the shelf. I for one am glad they are continuing to innovate

    Alright, here it goes. We have made some enhancements to our entire line of DDM4s. All DD rifles will now sport our DD Flash Suppressor. The new flash hider is CNC machined and SBN Coated. It does a much better job at hiding flash than a standard A2. All rifles that have an FSB will now don our new CNC Machined FSB with horizontal ridges on the rear surface which aid in glare reduction. Our Enhanced FSBs are also SBN Coated and they do not have a bayonet lug. The biggest change is the new rail system, called the DDM4 Rail. This rail system will replace the Omega X Rail on previous models. It’s a one piece design that has features from several of our other models. It features our patented Bolt-Up System but with a four bolt pattern instead of six. The lower rail is tucked in closer to the barrel more like the RIS II Rail System. And it has the overall width of the Omega X. It also features sling swivel attachment points at the front and rear of the rail system on both sides.

    These changes are effective immediately. Rifles are now shipping with these enhancements.

    The rail systems are only available on rifles and uppers. They will not be sold individually on the commercial market.

    Once again it shows you cannot please everyone...
    I cannot say I consider these changes as earth-shattering, but I doubt the guys at DD would waste their time on "fluff".
    Competitive shooters seem to like thinner rails, but I cannot find anything wrong with the Omega X.
    Curious about the new flash-hider though...

    Definitely nothing wrong with the Omega X Rail. A lot of shooters, including myself, have come to love it. However, The DDM4 Rail combines the best features of the Omega X Rail and our renowned RIS II which is produced for US SOCOM. The DDM4 Rail will maintain the slim and lighweight design that is expected of Daniel Defense Products, while offering the end user improved ergonomics.

    Thanks for jumping in.

    Tough Question: can you comment on turn around times? DDM4 V5?

    No problem. And your question isn't too tough. All 2012 rifles are built on a schedule. We know how many rifle we are building each week and of which model. Give me a call and I can direct you to dealers that are in the queue to receive these over the next few weeks. 912-851-3251

    Joe does DD build just a basic rifle, one without a FF rail?

    Joe,

    Are there any plans on selling these rails individually in the future?
