I just got an announcement from Brownells:
"Brownells, Inc.
Keep an eye on our website for a Daniel Defense exclusive! We will be carrying Daniel Defense Upper Receiver Groups with Chrome Lined Hammer Forged Barrels. These will first be available in Carbine Length M4 profile or Mid-Length Government profile. The Upper Receivers will ship without a bolt carrier group, charging handle, and handguard."
Is this a clearance thing of old stock then?
Thanks Joe for all the good information.
I know streamlining is a good way to do business and getting the options all in a package gives some folks sticker shock at first but if they are going to add a rail, sights, lights, and sling and the like it adds up anyway and your package is cheaper and the person in the know knows that.
Personnaly I like flip ups but your sight is good for the initial carbine and it works. Used one for a year and I like it just finally got red dots or Acogs for all my Rifles finally.
Some more CAD pics from DD:

I want that rail in a 9" or 10" something fierce.
From a technical point of view a hooded front sight with the combination of an aperture rear sight and elevation adjustable front sight is a bad combination- your brain wants to center circle on circle ( aperture with hood) but if your front sight is not exactly in the middle elevation wise ( and it rarely ever is once zeroed) then your front sight is either high or low causing shots to go high or low as a result
HK used the circle on circle concept to their advantage because the front site is fixed and not elevation adjustable
The other problem with a front sight hood is it interferes with sight picture when using a red dot sight- in flip up sights this leads to the habit of running the sights folded down which takes away one of the reasons for having back up iron sights - to use them in case the red dot dies or is too dim
Like my buddy Ken Hackathorn said - they are called 'flip UP' sights ( not flip down) for a reason - they are meant to be up whenever possible
The hooded front site post causes more problems than it solves- DD may eventually make one ( I don't know) but it certainly won't be because I am pushing them too

Mr. Marler, at the bottom of page 3, JasonM posted a picture of the rail with the mount and barrel nut separated. The barrel nut appears to be similar to the previous generation of barrel nuts from the LITE/Omega X series of rail systems.
Can you comment on this? Will the old DD barrel nut wrench work on this new rail system, or is it different?
If different, will you be offering the new tool? Thank you.
Does DD plan to offer the new FSB separately for sale? The enhanced design seems like it would be pretty attractive for use by those of us that prefer a fixed FSB on carbines.
