I've just purchased the DD M4 and will take delivery sometime next week.
I read Robb's thread about "I've bought an AR....now what" and the chart he references doesn't take the DD model into account, assuming because it's new.
I've read about the issues with the BM's, etc., and I'm curious if anyone thinks there's anything I should do with my rifle to make it more reliable.
I have already purchased an Aimpoint C3 on a ADM mount, but because someone here suggested it, I'm going to not only zero in, but practice and become proficient with my iron sights. I think I will also take a training class to familiarize myself with my weapon.
I've been pondering getting a laser mount, (mostly because it seems cool I guess), but I can't really find any justification for having one. To me, it seems if the target is close enough to use a laser on, I should've grabbed the shotgun.
Maybe that's just me...dunno.
Do I want a tac light? Really? I mean, my intentions are to get a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 series home defense shotgun, and would probably put a light on that, but do I need one on an AR?
OK..so the next question I can already hear is "what are you going to use it for?".
The reality is I purchased this weapon for 2 reasons. 1...Because I'm pretty sure the leader of the free world will try to take them. 2...Because of the economy, and I'm strictly fearful it's going to get MUCH worse. When the rubber hits the road, I want to still be alive and I figured the AR platform makes the most sense for multiple differenct scenarios.
Toss is revolution and you've got my personal trifecta.
So far I have the Aimpoint and mount, and a DDM4 with a cheap free case and 5 - 30 rd mags (decent).
What else would YOU get?
$300 case? Man they are expensive...everything is expensive for these weapons.... I can see getting a top shelf case for a decent rifle, because why spend that money and not protect it, but my wish list just went from $2k to $4k with all the bells and whistles. Lights, lasers, magazines, ammo, Aimpoint/Scope, Bipod/mounts, flip up iron sights, slings, cases, and lord knows what else. The list seems endless.
If it were you....and you just purchased a reputable manufactured weapon, what would be your list of priorities, and why?
I'm stuck....and I'm not rich. I kinda want it all...(who doesn't I guess), but I need to find a way to be smart about this too.
Any input would be great.
