I dont think you will get it in time to shoot, but who knows.
As for damage through shipping, I highly doubt it will get damaged at all and DD is top notch with very good customer service. I have thier factory lower and it is imo the best "milspec" lower out there with a above average "milspec" trigger.

Just picked up a v5 LW myself. Love it so far.
I can't imagine it getting damaged in shipping, comes in an enclosed case with padding. From what I hear, their CS is top notch. I would shoot them a call or email and they can probably give you a better timeline. |

I ordered a custom rifle from DD last year at this time and it was in my hands within 3 weeks. Of course that was during the peak of the panic and I was lucky enough to get my rifle order in before the website got bogged down.

I ordered directly fromDaniel Defense about a year ago. At the time, I lived right around the corner from them in Savannah, Ga. Still had to be shipped to an FFL. Comes in a hard case so I can't imagine any damage. Took about 3-4 weeks to get mine but it was a custom build. If they have it in stock, it should ship much faster. Good luck, you are getting a great rifle.

I think id like to deal with DD directly unless I can see it in person.
for me, $1600 is a lot on a rifle (I know DD is top notch, and its a tool that will last, but if there were a problem id prefer to deal with them directly). |

DD will take care of you no matter where you get the gun and even if it is used, so there is no reason to not get a cheaper one if you see it in person or online from a good dealer with good feedback. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Contacted DD and and ask for the screw diameter for the omega X rail and she said she didn't know but would find out, took down my info and a week later I had not 1 but 2 sets of screws for free from DD. I will never buy or recommend any other rifle. It shoots amazing and is backed by a great CS. I personally think its a no brainer |

DD has the best customer service in the entire industry.
The fact that they put out amongst the very best rifles as well makes them a no hesitation purchase. |

I'm pretty much made up on a mk18 and sr15. but they have to wait. i'm getting another M16 RR before they go up in price any more. besides, i just ordered like 600$ in shit from PSA and if it ever comes in, i'll have my hands full for a while. eta: the uppers are all that matters. I can't see the price premium for the lowers from dd and kac. especially with the excise tax included. besides, i like the geiselle triggers more anyway |

Nobody can answer how long it will take as things change. Not to mention if you're not ordering for a bit it is kind of worthless to know at this moment. If you're on a timeline and you're ordering a standard build, just order through a reputable dealer. Western Sport, Primary Arms etc. You'll most likely save 25% ($400) AND get it faster. It's a no brainer to me. |
