Trying to wade into buying your first AR is more overwhelming than trying to figure out which toothpaste variety you want in an aisle full of 50 different kinds. I narrowed my choice down to a couple key elements:
-- 18" or 20 barrel" for a full rifle length gas system
-- Lightweight
-- well made, good parts
-- 5.56 chamber
-- slick top full length Pic rail. I have no use for traditional M16 front sights.
It turns out that Daniel Defense makes pretty much what I would end up with on my "dream AR" checklist: The DDM4V11Pro:
I've never used a flat trigger, nor experienced a Giessele before. This unit is making me see why so many like them. The trigger is unbelievable.
Still a virgin gun, haven't broken it in yet. Will post a range report once I get it hot.
