    The customer doesn't HAVE to do anything. In fact, you don't HAVE to be a customer at all. ;)

    Oh, I'm not. I prefer to buy rifles from Colt or BCM. I just personally didn't like what i saw regarding the color situation. That's my opinion, I am free to have it and say something about it, and they are free to ignore it for all I care.

    I've said what i have to say. I'm done.

    I wish they had picked a different barrel vendor and a different muzzle device. Id like to know who's supplying the uppers and lowers. It seems to pass the eye test though.

    Different from who ? We feel our AR is OK going out with our flash hider which is proprietary for our suppressors .

    Dam I want one, really bad, hunny I know what I want for Christmas.

    Beautiful rifle guys, the picks look great. Red Jacket looks to be first class on everything they manufacture. The 1911 looks great also.

    Since you asked...Daniel Defense. Nobody in the industry uses the exacting manufacturing process Daniel Defense does. There is a reason HK sub'd HK416 Barrel Production to them.

    The muzzle device is great if I plan on using your can. If I don't plan on buying a can I have a flash supressor that doesn't. Id like to see an A2 Birdcage or AAC Blackout non-mount offered. But that's just my nickels worth. Im probably not your target customer anyway.

    D.D. does nice stuff , good bunch of guys to do business with . We got to spend a good bit of personal time with their senior staff up at the AUSA conference too , always nice to put a face to a voice . Well , you're right about the flashhider . If you don't plan on using our suppressor then you're stuck with just having a good looking , very effective flashhider . Or replacing it with whatever you want . My "target customer" is the guy in the market for a factory custom AR of exceptional quality .

    Thank you bro . Our approach is to build it right and let the market decide . I'm firmly convinced that there is always room in the market place for a quality product .

    Will im not bashing your product. My hope is you sell a million of them. I've been forced to spoon with Jay so I deffintly have a bias for DD stuff. I think your flash hider looks cool. I don't think it works as well as some of the other stuff on the market. I wasn't trying to come across as snooty. Im not your target customer because im not buying anymore ARs. I have what I need. I have contacts who tend to take care of me in the swag department. If I did decide to buy something I would be looking for something very specific. I.E. im a full custom guy not a factory custom guy.

    right on man , didn't take it that way , just wanted to answer you . Jake , I met , not sure about Jay , but hell , their where 3-4 of them running around , not sure I'd pick any for spooning if I had the option lol :) . I'll respectfully disagree with you on the f/h , I've tried most and I find that ours works as good or better [bias freely admitted ] :)

    I saw some flow analysis modeling done in Solid Works that wouldn't agree and heard some comments from one of your customers that support the modeling but it's a subjective thing I guess. Like I said I hope you sell a million of 'em
