Was anyone else looking forward to the DD5V1 until they released

>>28373114
looks nice
does the odd stock frame have any practical application?

>>28373114
All 308 ARs are spensive.

Source: there is no source and I don't know if they're all expensive I'm just going by what I have seent.

>>28373216
You can build a 500 dollar ar10 easily

>>28373114
DD is retarded for making it the price that it is.

Plus, it has a detent-ball charging handle, a thin steel safety selector that is uncomfortable to use, and a plastic ejection port cover.

For the money, buy a SCAR 17.

Man that stock is fucking ugly.

It feels good on my M4V11.

Buck Angel has scared me away from buying cheaper AR-10s like DPMS. Given the DD5 price I guess I will stick to my M1A.

>>28373349
I'm trying to. What brands would you recommend for each component?

Why buy a retarded expensive AR-10? Hell, the M&P10 is only ~$1250 if you're dead set on AR.

I'd rather get a FAL than a g3/ptr anyway.

How bad is a plastic port cover? I don't see any value in a steel or aluminum port cover.

So what are those rivets and what do they do?

>>28377222

It keeps the hand guard locked tight. This is a free floating barrel configuration.

Price aside, my issue with the DD was they decided to field yet another proprietary receiver handguard combo into the 308 AR market instead of helping further solidify one of the already existing 3 major patterns.

>>28373349
Yeah, if you go with poorfag parts all from the same manufacturer. Stupid point anyway since PSA has the cheapest AR10.

Those PSA AR10's are unreliable as fuck and are mostly proprietary parts.

the detention ball charging handle is retarded. The one we got at my gun store has plastic selector switches, plastic dust cover, and the milling marks on the BCG are really inconsistent and hideous. It looks like Daniel Defense went really lazy with it.

I hope to god they don't go the way of Kimber. I love my DDM4 :(

OP here. Still looking for a decent AR-10 for a good price, now Buck Angel has changed his tune on AR-10s at least with respect to Armalites

I wouldn't be very content with a rifle that behaves like it did in the second video. A fair amount of failures, though I realize it's likely just a minor adjustment. I would expect M80 to be the standard to 'tune' the timing/gassing of these rifles to.

>>28378936
Oh, and get a DPMS G2 or S&W MP-10. If you're really budgeted, DPMS LR308 original (<$700).

>>28379211
He says the gas block is adjustable and just needed tweaked to end the FTFs. I like the Aero Precision AR-10s too, same price as Armalite at my LGS.

>>28373114
eww

>>28378654
From what I understand, the only part thats completely proprietary is the receiver pins.

I haven't heard enough about reliability from them to have an opinion. Either way, building a nice AR will always be better, if you use decent parts.
