Oh well. Is what it is.
Anyways yes Block 2 stuff is still cool but buying DD offerings is overrated. Atleast factory new stuff.

“Answer The Bell...” J.W.
All personal preference. Really liked the one I had, just sold it to buy something I wanted more. May be slightly outdated, but it’s a solid/respectable choice. Sweet running rig, shoots nice and accurate, smooth recoil. It didn’t feel terribly heavy be any means. Bought it new and didn’t pay anywhere near msrp. I actually feel DD rifles are decent buy. I’ve easily found them new from reputable dealers in the $1200-1400 when shopping around.
$1600 at my dealer. I was actually just about to get an SR15 from grabagun but went out of stock before I had the guts to submit the order.
All truth.
The interwebz said you’re going to go to the ATF jail in Siberia now.
In all honesty, I do kind of like the RIS II. But I’d never put one on a long gun and have no desire to own a 10.3 barrel. If they made a 10.5 RIS II to pair with an 11.5, I’d be all about it.

Perfect example of an overpaid GS with credentials from some limp dick agency, aka "get outta jail free card" if they happen to get caught breaking some rule they flaunt like they are some sort of folk hero.
Douche-nozzles like that are part of the problem.

Ive got an original DD M4, not sure if its A1 or not, but I bought it in 2008. Its got a non-hammer forged barrel. I believe its sub serial 1000 or right near 1000 so its a fairly early gun I believe. At one point they had offered the early buyers the ability to send the upper back to swap in a hammer forged barrel, but I never took them up on it because the gun was a shooter.
It was my first AR15 so I doubt ill ever sell it but I dont shoot it much vs. my SBR or 18" SPR or my 6.5 creed. Its also the only factory AR that I own.
I used to own one and almost loved it. The problem for me was that changing the muzzle device would have been a pain in the ass (due to the pin and weld). I ended up selling it and that was the last complete rifle I ever bought. After that I started building my own ARs to my own “specs” and haven’t looked back. Sure the M4A1 looks cool but IMO the RIS 2 is more cumbersome than other options out there. You can get a lighter rail and a heavier barrel and get better performance out of your AR (not that the DD socom Barrel sucks, but once again, better options)
Edit: All that matters is what you like and what you’re comfortable with; who cares what forums think is cool.

had one, and it was a POS.
Overgassed, cerakote improperly applied, rail system installed crooked with the hangers actually touching the barrel. Couldn't even straighten the rail because the mounting plate was out of spec.
