    Looks aside - and I don't like the looks, personally - I have to know what Daniel Defense thinks that this does better than existing offerings. Specificially, so much better that people will want it more than the usual A2/M4 furniture that people discard for Magpul/Vltor/BCM/B5, that they'd be willing to pay the premium for it.

    If you're last to the market, and your product is merely different instead of incrementally or uniquely better, then it's going to be a hard sell. I suspect that some companies get tired of sending Magpul or some other injection molder a check for AR15 furniture, and ask, "Why can't we do that in house?" It might work for them, but someone will have to see the benefit to want it. Maybe the benefits to this new furniture will become clear over the next year as it hits the market, but I'm not hopeful. Daniel Defense is great about high quality barrels, solid as hell quad rails, and great QC, but this first effort makes it clear that polymer isn't their core competency yet.

    Also, who wants to run around outside with their rifle in the dirt/sand, and get a bunch of gunk on the rubber overmold tread of that stock, and then mush their face and beard into it? Looks like the rubber doormat outside my front door, probably does the same thing too.

    I love the quality of Daniel Defense products. I bought my wife a V3 for Christmas and, if it would have had this furniture on it, I might have gone another route. If not, I would have pulled and replaced it immediately and thrown it in my burn barrel.

    I'll bet that in six months to one year from now, some one who has snarked on this furniture will be running it on their carbine.

    I do have to say that I like the idea of FDE anodized receivers, and will probably pick up a MK-18. I will try to order one sans white laser-marked upper and queer furniture.

    That stock takes up too much space.

    That stock I would consider...

    You are misinterpreting what I meant by cheap my friend. Only saying that it was cheap for them to install on the rifle not that it was shitty gear. As many people here have already stated a lot of people, myself included, tend to change the furniture to what we like and basic cheap A2/M4 stuff would be just fine. Believe that was the reason that Grant offered the BCM model that had no stock ect so that it was cheaper and allowed the end user to set it up as they needed/wanted.

    Everything about their new offerings look great. Except for those heinous grips and stock. Wish they would offer a delete option.

    If you spend much time around the guys who really, really know their craft, and who truly live this stuff, you tend to find that they are very soft-spoken and modest -- almost to the extreme. To my mind, that is a model worthy of emulation
