    Daniel Defense

    I'm looking into purchasing my first AR. I know very little about ARs but I have decided on a Daniel Defense. Bang for buck and everything I've read on this forum, I think a Daniel Defense is my best option. My questions are:

    Is there any difference in durability or reliability with the different models of Daniel Defense ARs?

    Where can I get the best deal on one?

    Should or could anyone convince me not to get a Daniel Defense?

    No difference in durability among the different DD models that I'm aware of.

    Several of the site sponsors here stock them and have good deals on them.

    No reason on earth to not get a DD if you're looking for a quality AR.

    FYI- using the "search" feature here will yield you a treasure trove of info on DD carbines.

    I have a DDM4V3 (midlength FSB) and it has been exceptional. It does not however like Tula 55 gr. I doubt many ARs do like Tula 55 gr. Good rifle, get one. I would have gone with the DDM4V5 as now I feel I would want to add my own sights. I am happy with the V3 though.

    I have the v2 and wish I had a v1, I want the 12" FSB rail.

    "Good Motherfu*king choice" as fans of Samuel Jackson Beer would say.

    But seriously, DD make great products. I have several of their barrels and uppers, with several thousand rounds of Bear ammo through them. They tend to be very accurate for carbine barrels as well. Just pick the version that suits you and run with it. G&R and Rainier Arms are good places to look for one.

    I love my DD M4XV. Like you, I was brand new to AR's . . . hell, I was basically new to rifles except for shooting .22's growing up. After a bunch of research on this site and some incredible help from the folks here, I settled on the DD a few months ago and it was my first AR purchase.

    You'll get excellent advice from this site. I can only comment on my DD and it's been outstanding thus far.

    DD and Noveske are pretty much all I run anymore. In fact the only other company I even consider besides those two is BCM.

    The DD M4V5 was my second AR and first big boy AR after my DPMS (which has been fine). Have had the DD for 3-4 months and put about 800 rounds through it. No issues at all, have kept to major brand name ammo. Ordered 2K rounds of PMC XTac which is seems to like pretty well.

    The durability and quality between the various models is the same. The only deciding factor between the models would be what features you personally are looking for.

    Meee too!!!

    But I absolutely love my DDM4! Go for it! You will be happy with your purchase. I suggest going to a local store that has some to handle and figure out how you want yours set up and purchase accordingly. Do heavy research to make sure you have no buyers remorse on the model you choose. There are infinite options out there.
    ATTENTION: What you just read may very well contain sarcasm! Judge me accordingly.
