Posted: 2/16/2014 4:58:11 PM EDT

I saw the all-brown colored DD rifles in SHOT Shot pics and such.......do you guys have an ETA as to when rifles with that brown finish will start shipping?

Thanks.

I'm getting the 16" Government profile barrel- DD M4 Carbine V7 (Mil Spec +) 5.56 NATO with the Mil Spec + Cerakote coating. I think that is the brown color you are referring to. This Daniel looks really high quality! When I finally get it, I will post a pic. I'm still waiting on my Larue.

Got my call this evening, the LGS has my v5LW milspec+ waiting for me to pick it up tomorrow, can't wait it will be my first AR-15

I will be getting mine next Thursday! Just got the UPS tracking today. Just wonder why some brands you have to wait forever and some you don't? DD seems like a pretty popular rifle.

Rifle looks great, i will have pictures up later. The only disappointment is that i guess they forgot to put the vertical foregrip in the box so i need to contact DD about that.

How and through who are people getting them? Have been on phone with DD and AcuSport since mid-January and gotten nowhere...HELP....

its distributed as a Lipsey's exclusive. You have to find a local gun shop that uses Lipseys as a distributor and they can order it for you

I don't know which distributors the online dealer I bought from uses, but they appear to have a huge selection of AR-15s. I have bought one other firearm from them before, a Remington 12 gauge tactical shotgun and it came just as described. The online dealer is Hinterland Outfitters and they have a toll free number. They have been professional so far and you should talk to Bret or Eric. I have NOT received my V7 yet, but it's on the way. Will provide pics when it gets here. I provided this info because it's obvious the guy who is asking here needs help in finding one. I hope this helps!

Hinterland shows the V7 in Stock. I ordered one direct from Lipsey's last week. The stock dwindled pretty quickly.

For dealers seeking the new Mil-Spec+ Rifles:

V7, M4A1, and MK18 variants are available through Acusport

The v5LW is available through Lipseys.

We have shipped and are shipping the v7, M4A1, and MK18 to most of our Master Dealers and Buying Group customers. So they are definitely out there. Anyone who is looking for one, please give us a call at 866-554-4867 and we will be more than happy to help you find what you're looking for.

Got to shoot 40rnds through it yesterday sighting in the Aimpoint PRO....shoots awesome, very smooth, and the rubber pads on the stock and grips work extremely well (didn't grab the stubble/sad excuse for facial hair i have) Just need to convince somebody to do a matching AFG and it would be perfect.

does anybody know the color "name" of this rifle, because mine is the same color and looking to find out the color so I can have my sopmod color matched

Posted: 4/4/2014 7:57:16 PM EDT

[#20]

They call the color Milspec+. This is what I was told when I called.

alright I appreciate it

How durable is it? My Surefire suppressors are Cerakote, and I have marred them. Is the black anodizing more ding-friendly? I mean, not that it really matters, just curious.

-Is the inside of the lower done? (mag-well, etc.)
-Is the inside of the upper done?
-Does Daniel Defense do these in-house, or contract out?
-Is the anodizing roughed or otherwise altered from what it would otherwise be, before the Cerakote?
-Theoretically, if I bought a Cerakoted DDM4, and then chemically removed it (I don't believe you can, hence "in theory"), would the rifle look and be identical to a DDM4 that never was Cerakoted?
