is a company that I know absolutely nothing about.
Are their guns worth the money?

DD definitely produces a quality rifle as well as individual components. I've used their barrels, LPK's, and rails on a few builds and it has always been top notch. Buy with confidence.

I own Colts, a SCAR, a S&W, and a few other ARs and my DD is my favorite. Just shot and won a 3G match yesterday with it.

I use Daniel Defense barrels in every one of my AR's but one. Extremely good barrels.

In my experience their QC isn't great, but their customer service makes up for it.

Are you serious? Their products are some of the best quality and best finished I've seen. What experience do you have with them. Please explain.

I had an early M4V1 from when they were still in Savannah that had rust issues with many of the smaller parts.  I'm assuming something went wrong with the surface treatment because it was stored in a climate controlled house and I rarely deal with rust in AZ, plus it was sitting next to Remingtons and Savages that didn't have a speck of rust on them.  I ended replacing many of the parts with a new lower parts kit and changed out the screws on the Omega rail and that solved my problem.  Other issue was a V5 that had a canted buffer tube, I sent the lower in and they promptly fixed it.  I'd definitely buy another DD, but I'd inspect the crap out of it first.

Yes! Definitely!  I have a DDM4v7 with a standard, 16" gov't profile barrel.  I have had it for several years and have 1000's of rounds through it.  It cleans up in about 4 to 5 passes with a solvent soaked patch.  2 weeks ago I was at the outdoor range and shot a 2 1/2" group with it at 300yds.  I was getting 8" - 9" groups with it at 600yds.  I was able to hit a 28oz gatorade bottle at 600yds 1 out of 3 shots.  So yes, Daniel Defense is definitely worth the money.  

I had a Vortex Optics 4-12-power Crossfire2 scope mounted on it.

Great Rifles and customer service. I had a serious issue with my ddm4v7. The bolt face was gouging the theface of the chamber in the barrel extension. Talked to DD about and showed pics and they sent me label and I had a new barrel and bcg installed and back to me within a week. Been working like champ since. Great company and rifle. Also they make a tight rifle if that matters to you my rifle as well as other examples I've seen have zero wobble between receivers.

Their barrels may be slightly overgassed compared to other options, but the quality is fantastic.

When you do this, they will bestow upon you a great and powerful product that will allow you to reign supreme above of all others, bowing down to no one other than the Lord Almighty himself.....

They have purdy good customer service as well. Always prompt replies when it comes to tech questions and very helpful to talk about builds with you.

One of the highest quality and reliability manufacturers out there.

Bought a DDM4V11 late last fall. VERY good rifle.  

Buy, shoot, enjoy.

The MK18 uppers they sell on the civilian market have a slightly larger gas hole, and consequently are more reliable with a wider variety of ammo then the .mil version of the same gun.




My MK18 is completely reliable, never a single FTF/FTE......probably my favorite AR.




The lower is not DD.....but an SBRed KAC full ambi lower. Fantastic gun in every respect.

Love the PRO, I had a hell of a time deciding btw the PRO and the MK 12 Tornado. In the end, the slim rail, S3G trigger and BCM..gunfighter charging handle gav e it the nod. I have a Leopold VX-R..Patrol 1.5x4 or EoTech XPS2-2 that rides up top.

I am in the process of ordering the 300 ISR as we speak.

I have a M4V1 and a MK18.

Both are awesome guns and DD has the best customer service in the industry.

I have a DDM4V5 that I carry daily and trust my life and yours to (if you find yourself in my neck of the woods) .

I have a DDM4V4 SBR awaiting tax stamp that will replace it on duty.

Absolutely excellent weapons and customer service.  

Have one of their slim rails awaiting a build also.

I only have one of their rails, a MFR 12, free float, which I installed a couple years ago as a part of a complete upper build.  It is the same rail as on their complete rifle DDM4V7.  Engineering, design, fit and finish, attention to sall details, tight fit and strong lock up are all superb.

DD also really supports their dealers. They have an easy and simple order process for personal rifles. I ordered my V11 Pro and it was here in 2 weeks, I paid $1011.00 OTD, my MK18 was a bit more lime $1132.00.

Just the G S3G trigger is $250 so take that off the $1011..

During the AR15 panic following the tragedy in CT and the efforts at gun bans, Daniel Defense did not raise prices and kept taking and filling orders.  The company and its owner are class acts.  They take pride in putting out the best products at reasonable prices.

Why yes, yes they are awesome as shit.

I used their stock and grip on my 14.5" AR15 Performance/Aero build.  Really like the style and the rubbery texture.
