I'm trying to keep expectations down but i cant help but imagine how this is going to feel and handle. Hopefully it meets my expectations.

George is a super nice guy. Spoke to him on the phone last night. I next day aired him the money but he was planning on shipping it either way!! Makes him cool in my book. I would buy from him again for sure.
Both of my ARs are colt variants. Both operate flawlessly and still look brand new. That Daniel Defense seems like a sweet rifle though!

Thanks for the link my friend. I'm sure you will be happy with it. Just remember that anything made by human hand is imperfect. What really counts is how it shoots.
And as far as people complaining about brass markings, they must intend to never shoot or carry the pistol. I mean I understand that the pistol is expensive but the vast majority of these custom 1911s are built to be workhorses and not safe queens/display pieces (unless it's one of those fancy engraved pistols).
And Colt carbines, well, what else is there to say? They remain to be the gold standard of the AR-15/M4 platform

I'm glad that I did more research and asked around more on AR specific forums which helped lead me to my Daniel Defense purchase. I don't regret a single thing and have put about 500 rounds down range already without a single problem.
This is mine with some added Magpul accessories, Eotech OPMOD sight, and a Fenix PD32 LED tac light.

Outstanding choice. Very nice stick. I am loving that setup, too. Everything you need and nothing you don't.

A wise decision.

Definitely take a look at DD. I'd also consider Bravo Company, Noveske, and of course Colt. As far as Sig I don't know much about their other products not in the handgun category, so can't give an honest opinion on them. Good luck with your search though!

Excellent recommendations. Bravo Company (BCM), Daniel Defense, Lewis Machine & Tool (LMT), Noveske, Colt, and Knight's Armament all make top-quality AR-15s. We're fortunate to be living in time where there are so many quality AR-15 manufacturers. Competition results in better products.
