New DA556 rifles - What do you want?

[CanAm]

Forward assist, dust cover, on or off carry handle, chrome lined bore, match trigger, $600 shipped

All that but the trigger, we sell those extra, the Chrome is replaced by QPQ aka Melonite aka Tenifer.

I'd prefer "longer" barrels. The original M-16 had a 20'' barrel length, some people consider 16'' the "civilian standard"; it's kind of weird now to see all those <15'' barrels. The tiny 7.5'' sure look tiny, like a pellet gun. I say make a 20'' or 24'' barrels for us manly man.

And make the die cast lower. The heck with a stigma. A lot of people buy 300$ Norinco 1911 and are fully happy with them, even with the stigma. The best quality/price ratio usually gets my money. That's true for everything: cars, tools, guns. If you manage to make a full AR-15 20'' for 600$, I'll probably pick up one even if my use of any rifle these days is very limited.

I would like to see something like the 14.5 inch M4 with a KAC style rail system and a good finish on the receivers.

[VinnyQC]

And make it quad rail if not too expensive. And adjustable length stocks if not too expensive too. I prefer adjustable to folding. No use at all of folding stock actually.

Quad rail would be a deal breaker. Some of us don't feel the need to hang 17 pieces of junk off of our rifle. Keymod or mlok free float handguards would be much better IMO.

[NoTarget]

If these are going to be US made then I'd like to see a 16" option so they can be taken across the border.

[Ionized Odds]

20" Flat-top <3

[timach]

Flat top no front sight post take my money!

[CBMS]

Are you going to be able to bring in just completed uppers? I would be very interested in that at that price, probably 1 7", 1 14.5" & 1 18" (20"?).

[Mister Donut]

I heard the Norc/Dominion Arms CQ-A had CHFB, any truth to that and will the new ones have CHFB?

M-Lok handgaurds and monolithic uppers made in the US would put you ahead of the game of CC at your pricepoint, but probably not possible at that price?
