Did Daniel Defense decide they were selling too many rifles?

Anyone who buys one of these will become an instant "operator", as the first thing they do, will be to surgically remove the abortion attached to the rear of the firearm.

Haha, totally. Functionally, it may be superior, I don't know I'm certainly no "operator". The thing is, neither is the vast majority of civilian gun owners. I feel comfortable assuming most recreational shooters would choose form over function more often than not and the form of that stock sucks. Until, that is, a picture surfaces online of a DEVGRU assaulter rocking that stock in Afghanistan. Then it'll become the next must have accessory for some black rifle guys, even those who originally said it was fugly. ####, who knows there 'a a good chance I could be one of those guys, my tastes in firearms/accessories changes faster than the weather.
 
well they may not look all that, but got to play with one, and they are comfy, but the houge stock that just came out is much the same but looks way better
 
The attachment that allows the stock to be used as a trench shovel or boat paddle must be optional. Yes I made that up and no I don't like the looks of that stock. I see it adding problems while providing a solution to nothing.
 
Yea I'm in the same boat. Awesome looking gun. And most of these comments are just proof CGN is dropping in the hole. Slamming a new product before even using one. We are all firearms owners and people prefer different designs. Grow up FFS
 
It's a ####ing prop against which you put your shoulder.

Buttstocks do not need a redesign every ten minutes.

Here is my advice:

Stand up straight. Put your arms at your sides. Flex your elbows to 90 degrees, like you're about to clap robotically or describe something the width of your torso.

Now curl your bottom three fingers into your palm, and fold your thumbs down, so your pointing straight forward with both hands.

Next, rotate both of your wrists inward so your index fingers are pointing straight towards each other.

Finally, tap the tips together. Yes, it's ###. Very, very ###.


Your rifle is not an Ikea catalogue you're going to use to express your personality to a bunch of zinfandel-drinking capri-wearers. Put a god damn stock on the thing, and shoot it. The need to redesign a ####ing shoulder prop to make guns into precious snowflakes like this is index-finger-tapping.
 
They may look fugly, but they were certainly comfy. They had them on all the rifles at the DD booth @ SHOT.

Maybe it's the FDE, but the black set didn't look so... lizard-ly...

Frankly guys i don't care what it looks like, i care how it feels on my cheek and shoulder, until i try one out i will reserve all my judgements.

The stock is ugly and I see a few things design wise that could be a problem. ie snagging on stuff and possible strength problems with the engineering.

I don't see not liking it as a CGN issue. Frankly it's because many of us have a bunch of stocks that we are suspect of this one. DD makes a good product but I've never been a brand loyal person. I don't care if the new smart cars come out with Ferrari badges on them, they still suck.

Maybe this will be a good design but I'm seeing problems with it and wouldn't choose that stock. Which means it would cost more to change it out.
 
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone having anything bad to say about DD, hah.

Well, they tend to know what they are doing, so my first assumption would be that the ergo's are probably awesome or something.
 
What if that stock works and handles really good?? So many damn people judge guns on how they look ? bad move . they are tools not jewelry !! They are for hunting, defense, ect. not for winning a fashion show. Same thing happened when Glocks hit the market , people thought they were junk for years just cause they were ugly lol..
