Since you have your trust, why not just buy a Colt 6933 and modify from there? A change of grip and stock won't comprimise the core of the rifle. If you want a little longer rail, just chop the FSB and install the rail over it. Whether you do a Form 1 on a 6920 or a Form 4 on a 6933, the wait will be the same.

Here's two for sale on GB:

The TDP is used to build mil-spec rifles for the military, in govt. approved facilities that make the critical operating parts for the rifle, whereas non-critical parts can be sourced from outside vendors.
Commercial rifles are NOT mil-spec (govt. inspected), but can use parts spec from the TDP. So what.
The four or five rifle manufacturers that constantly get talked about here can be look at as GTG in a job that requires their use, provided the rifle has been shot more than 100 flawless rounds.
Now that seems like a viable option right there. At minimum I can start looking for a 6933 upper. I will check around and find a local dealer and see what they can do for me as far as price, but more than likely I will be looking for an online dealer.
So back to the original question, regarding the TDP:
Can it be safely assumed (at a minimum) that a Colt Semi-auto would use the same standards as far as upper receiver and BCG. These items could be used between the FA mil rifles as well as the civi models. The question would then be are there different vendors for the mil 14.5" verses the 16" commercial barrels?

There was a thread about if there was such a thing as superior to the TDP, and I have to be in the camp that yes there is. I've been using the same M4 the last 5 years and I own a Daniel Defense and it takes about half a second to tell which one is the better weapon. That doesn't mean I don't trust both of them, that doesn't mean they aren't both fantastic, but to say nothing is better than a Colt is asinine.
The TDP is the benchmark that no rifle less than should be trusted, so Colt sets the standard. Some companies exceed the standard through the same development process that leads to Colt changing the TDP, other cut corners to save money.
To think that with just a half second observation you can tell that the dd is better than a colt. That is like saying my rock river is just as good as colt or dd. How can you tell without firing which is better? How do you quantify better? A company that tries to meet the standard that colt set does not make them better. DD is a great company making a great product, but to say they are that much better than colt is asinine.
Could a company make a better m4/AR than colt? You always hear people say blank company is making better m4/AR's than colt. What is better? If a company uses higher grade materials that are structurally superior, but the system can not run more than 20 rounds without malfunctioning. Is it better? Colt is the gold standard, and DD is not a better weapon. They are probably equal, but DD is not so obviously superior you can see it with two weapons side by side.
I can understand someone liking a company better than another, but to have an emotional attachment where you believe they are far superior to all else without logical reasoning is the epitome of stupidity. If you like your DD more than your colt that is great you should at least say that you like it better, and not that DD is far superior. I like my bcm's more than what colt is offering, but i can not put one next to a colt and know it is superior. Your bias is obvious. Nothing wrong with having a bias one way or another, but your bias is also clouding your judgement.
