Well, from what I see so far, the non FF on the BCM would be easier
for me because it just attaches in the way standard hanguards do. On the DD, it's a free float- one thing I have read, is that some FF rails cannot be removed/installed over the front sight- I'd have to remove/re-attach it.
Now, I have seen some FF's that can be easily installed without working around the front sight, and I'm sure I'd be perfectly happy with the rail on DD's rifle. But if somewhere down the road I want a different rail, or need to perform some sort of maintenance, I'm not sure I'm confident in having to disassemble the front of the rifle.
Maybe I'm wrong somewhere here, but a non FF rail seems a more Murphy-proof choice for me.
As far as prices- off the top of my head, on Aim Surplus they list the DD M4 (carbine) for $1429. The DD M4V3 from my list is the same $ on Clyde's Armory.
I haven't seen much of the completed BCM's- maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place. But on the PDF form on their site, it's listed as around $1299.
