The engravings on the uppers were necessary for liability purposes. We build 3 different caliber of rifles and all of our lowers are marked Multi caliber. It was important that the shooter knows what caliber the uppers were built as. Especially when it comes to 300 BLK and 5.56. Since some 300 BLK can chamber in 5.56 we had to come up with a way to differentiate between the two since the barrel marking are hidden under the handguard. 300 BLK in a 5.56 barrel does not end well.
It's definitely not a beard grabber. I doesn't grab mine and everyone with a beard who's shot it can attest to this.
I'd like to thank everyone for their honest opinions. I'd like to take this opportunity to describe our new furniture. The new pistol grip and buttstock were completely engineered and manufactured in house. We had a lot of design criteria that went into the thought process. For the pistol grip we mimicked a 1911 grip angle. It has a slight palm swell with rubber overmolding w/ proprietary texturing and an integrated, beveled trigger guard. The buttstock has a lot of unique features as well. It has a slightly enhanced cheek swell. Not quite as aggressive as a B5 or LMT SOPMOD. This was important and conforms to shooters who shoot with external ear pro. If it were too aggressive, it could interfere with a proper seal with your ear pro. The rubber inset allows for a more positive cheek weld. It's actually quite comfortable and won't grab ahold of your beard. The buttstock, whether included on a rifle or purchased as an individual component, will come with two buttpads. One is thin and slightly concave and the other is thick and convex. This will allow the end user to determine and utilitize whichever works best. The area of the buttstock at the bottom of the buttpad area is very well rounded and doesn't come to a sharp point. This allows for the buttstock to roll into the shoulder nicely from the low ready and negates any snag hazard if you're wearing loose fitting clothing. The front angle on the buttstock matches the rear geometry of our pistol grip and works well as support point if you're shooting prone or from a bench. It makes is easy to adjust the vertical pitch of your rifle with your support hand. A QD Sling Swivel Attachement Point is also standard. Just like all of our sling adapters, the sockets offer limited rotation so that your sling will not twist. These will be black (not silver) on production models. The latch is also unique. Very easy to grasp for adjustment or to pull down to remove.
Our new furniture will ship on all Daniel Defense Rifles this year. We plan to release these components for individual sales this spring.

Joe @ Daniel Defense.
I just got the weights from one of our engineers. I thought some of y'all would like to know. I'll compare the weights of the stock to a MOE since that's what we used to use.
MOE w/ buttpad - 8.45 oz
DD Buttstock w/ concave buttpad - 8.06 oz
DD Butstock w/ convex buttpad - 8.82 oz
DD Pistol Grip - 3.24 oz
thanks for the numbers, definately more interested in this stock now knowing its the same weight as my MOE
Joe,
Thanks for the weight, based on weight and initial feedback it looks like a winner and I'm looking forward to using the new furniture! That said, as a DD fan (and I think I speak for many others as well), I'd love to see a DD .308, alloy rail (like what is used in the KMR), perhaps a keymod DDM4 variant and maybe even an even lighter barrel in the future... Just wanted to throw that out there since we have the ear of a staff member at DD.
