I'm in the market for a Daniel Defense but the Samson is damn sexy and cheap.
I like the fact that it uses the factory barrel nut and has two symmetric anti-rotation tabs instead of the one-sided tab like the Troy/VTAC.

How hot say compared to a quad rail like a Daniel Defense if you've shot one of those?

"If force can take away liberty, force is necessary to preserve it. It is the hatred of violence alongside the willingness to use violence that preserves liberty. In order for us to live as free men, we have to hate the violence that takes away liberty, yet at the same time, we must embrace the violence that preserves it. That is the paradox our founders appreciated and made work for over 200 years."
