DD M4A1

**Walker_Texasranger** · 10-04-19, 20:33

What do you think of these? Still cool or outdated in 2019?

They are heavy with the M4 profile barrel and RIS II but they are just cool IMO.

I love the Ris II.

Someone find me a good price on a FSP M4A1 upper.

Unnecessarily heavy.
Poorly balanced.
Carbine gas system.
Stupid barrel profile.
Dat furniture tho?

If you are looking to buy a ready-made upper for a M4A1 SOPMOD Block II build, they are good to go for that. They do have the heavier 14.5" SOCOM profile barrel like the real M4A1s. The extended A2 type FH is pinned and welded and is not correct for a Block II. The down side, if you are wanting to change it, is that it would have to be carefully removed in order install a correct Surefire 4-prong (or 3-prong if you do not want to spring over $30 for a SF4P) and have it pinned and welded. The good thing is that DD offers them with a FSB and low profile gas block. There are numerous guys building M4A1 SOPMOD Block IIs these days. I built mine a few months ago. I assembled mine using individual parts. The handguard and low profile Mk12 gas block are DD, barrel is a BCM SOCOM, FH is a SF3P (P&W), upper is Aero Precision. The lower assembly is also a compilation of individual parts.

This.

I’ve always wanted a DD but I’ve never bought one because - why?

They’re so expensive for no reason.

You guys know you can piece together an actual Colt upper for less than what DD charges right?

Also nobody pins their 14.5s

If building an AR15, I would seriously consider a DD barrel; however all of their full rifles are considerably overpriced IMO, even more so for me, considering I don't like any of their furniture, magazines, or sights and would dump all of that.

I know of many who have had the muzzle devices pinned and welded on their M4A1 SOCOMs. Not everyone wants to deal with the SBR crap.
