    I agree with the DD + aimpoint. I bought one, but seriously if you know you will take the Colt and put a rail on it then save the time, money, and effort and get the DD already with a great rail included and a pinned not set screw installed gas block.

    Excuse my ignorance, but does Colt manufacture their own CHF barrels in house? I've heard in the past that they've subcontracted out barrels, but maybe that was to meet DOD demands?

    If the rail on the DD is what you are looking for than go that route. If you would rather have something like a Noveske NSR, or Geissele rail than you could go with the Colt.

    This. If the DD is set up with what you want, get the DD.

    Dollar for Dollar, Colt vs DD

    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

    One thing you should take into account, how much rail space do you actually need? On my issue guns I have white lights and ir lasers and what not, on my personal guns I have a white light. I have multiple guns set up with 4 sided rails and with MOE handguards, for the kind of shooting that I'm gonna be doing free floating barrels aren't that important really. And for that matter neither is 5000 inches of rail space, I need a place to hook up a sling and a white light and I'm good. For me the MOE handguard fills that need. YMMV.
    The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step...and a lot of bitching.

    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?

    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.

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate your time and respect everyone's opinion. Some great points about buying now in the configuration I will want latter.

    Only question now is can I afford the extra money for the package deal.
