    I suspect even HK subs out a few of their interchangeable 416 parts--just a guess though.
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.

    I guess I am also the dealer that knows nothing about what I am talking about.

    What I find the most interesting is that the people that have "toured" the DD factory have seen only ONE part being made, but for some odd reason they have assumed that DD makes EVERYTHING because of that one part. Strange.

    People will believe what they want to believe. If they really believe that for $70 or less, they are getting a lpk that is mostly forgings, made in-house by that company, then they are entitled to that. However, belief and reality are quite different.

    It boggles the mind to think that a company who is just getting into the actually rifle market of the AR15 world would go out and buy all of the equipment necessary to make forged small parts for their lowers. It makes no business sense from both a cost and benefit standpoint.

    DD is making a name for itself with many quality components, but the market is saturated, and to invest millions upon millions of dollars to produce the parts that effectively make up less than 10 percent of the value of an already low-volume product is insane.

    NO MANUFACTURER MAKES EVERTYING IN THEIR LPK's! NOT COLT, NOT LMT, NOT BCM, NOT DD, NOT STAG, NOT RRA, NOT DPMS, NOT OLY, NOT ARMALITE, NOT NOVESKE, NOT KAC, NOT LWRC, NOT BM, ETC ETC.

    That arfcom thread definitely killed some of my brain cells. No one get's to see a forge on a factory tour. They are super dangerous, they smell, and a small forge is as big as a school bus. You also can't really be machining aluminum in close proximity to a steel forge because of a little thing called thermite (rust + aluminum + heat = big boom).

    Saying we make something in-house is completely misleading. Ya they probably grind the trigger flat and may do the final finishing, but this is not making.
