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.
