IMHO, Daniel Defense has gone off the deep end.
1. Their commercial SBR barrels have larger gas ports than the MIL barrels. This has made setting up a MK18 or 11.5" style gun problematic. I have personal experience with two of their barrels and I am not satisfied. They are overgassed when running full power 5.56 ammo with a silencer. I have to go all the way to an H3 buffer and they still run hard. Colt 11.5 933 and 10.3" barrels do not have this problem. This is a huge wasted opportunity on their part as they could offer real MIL spec shorty barrels with the correct factory pinned gas block so people don't have to destroy a Colt barrel or come up with some other pieced together solution.
2. Failure to release a 14.5" LW SBR basic gun. Then they decide to make the LW barrels 0.75" at the gas block. Another wasted opportunity since Colt can't seem to make this gun.
3. Their fugly furniture released this year. That stock takes up too much goddamn space. We didn't need another open air triangle stock. What we need is a simple CAR style stock with modern upgrades similar to what LWRC makes now.
4. Dropping the tan RIS 2 from the commercial product line.
