“I only needed four…”
That’s how Marty Daniels got started. He needed 4 copies of a gun part and he couldn’t find that part offered for sale anywhere. So, he had someone make them for him. However, the machinist did them on a lot purchase basis and the minimum amount he could get was 100 pieces. To get rid of the other 94 pieces, he set up a website and Daniel Defense was born. Now Daniel Defense has been named Manufacturer of the Year for 2013 by BusinessInSavannah.com.

Great damn ad campaign, does away with that nonsensical term “modern sporting rifle” that some of the industry thinks is a good idea. Next AR will be a DD.
Really liking the DDM4v7 lightweight upper I got for my daughter to shoot. Forearm can get a little hot with high round counts, gloves help, but it’s decently accurate and very soft shooting.
Another good innovation for choices in barrels, for those who are technically inclined. More accuracy, a little more velocity (polygonal barrels), precise machining and ease of cleaning for less cost. Includes 6.5 Grendel (6.5 lbc—trademark/copyright thing), 6mm AR (.243 lbc at a guess) and many more.
Hmmm...reads like an ad, but I’m not affiliated and just like ‘em. And the more competition and availability, the better.
Anyone that can add 94 and 4 to come up to a 100 is pretty good at the least.
...derned fat fingers...
Build my own like Johnny Cash, though I pay for the parts. I bought a DD 1 o’clock rail to mount a Burris Fast Fire for under 100 yd shots on song dogs. They got it just right. Rotate the rifle a few degrees and you no longer sight through the scope, but are putting a dot on that puppy’s shoulder.
