I’m looking to start another build (1 noveske nearly complete:dance3:). I’m trying to decide between a Daniel Defense upper/lower stripped combo or the Wilson Combat upper/lower stripped combo.
Does anyone have hands on with either of these, if so any suggestions as to which is a better platform and why? I want this to be a SPR type build…Thanks
Wilson Upper - Upper Receiver - Our M4 Mil-Spec, flat-top upper receivers are precision CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum forgings for maximum durability and Mil-Spec Type 3 hard coat anodized in black.
DD - The A4 Upper Receiver is precisely machined from a 7075 aluminum forging and is Type III Hard Coat anodized. The A4 uppers have Feed Ramps cut in them for more reliable feeding.
There will not be a platform difference.
Which roll-mark do you prefer? Which company do you feel like supporting? Personally, I’d go DD every time; I have a feeling you will receive similar responses.
same price, pick which one is cosmetically more pleasing…both good and probably the same.
If it were my $$$, I’d consider for a more robust set-up than std. forged for an SPR (if weight is not an issue), such as:
[ul]
[li]LaRue w/ M4 cuts / LaRue lower[/li][li]VLTOR MUR or VIS mono / Mega billet lower[/li][li]Mega Mono upper/ Mega Billet combo[/li][/ul]
Ohhhh forgot to mention, I’m building a billet platform as well. Mega vs LaRue listed in your picture also hahaha. Not crazy about LaRue’s rollmarks but in the end, not that important. I’ve bought and sold S&W and Bushmaster to work my way up to Mil-Spec higher end parts and I’m like an addict now!
I’ve seen the DD with a personal camera and I really like the finish, but I can’t seem to find a WC pic that isn’t the same stock pic that’s on the website. TOO MANY DECISIONS:suicide2:
Look to the left of the bolt release—looks like it doesn’t match up properly…it’s the same on WC website… hell my bushmaster is perfect
Now the DD
Looks like the DD is lined up perfectly…anyone think this is a deal breaker? Yes, i’m very meticulous and notice everything:D
I went with DD for my next build. I like the flared magwell and my goal was to do a full DD build so it was a no brainer.
Yea I’ve pretty much decided on the DD. Not crazy about their barrels…
Not crazy on DD barrels? Why so?
I guess I should of been more clear, I’ve been reading about rifling processes and from what people have told me, centurion arms would be a HUGE upgrade. I’d love to hear an actual owners opinion though
For our forum we went with Quentin Defense. We did a group buy and got custom engraving for the lower, along with laser engraving if you wanted it. Jason just did a run of laser engraved uppers for us also. 
Here is my build so far.
While Centurion makes outstanding kit, there is NOTHING wrong with DD’s barrels. They are CHF and excellent quality.
For a precision (SPR) build I’d go with Centurion or Kreiger. But I wouldn’t scoff at a DD barrel for any reason. They make excellent kit. I’d love a DDM4 as a beater rifle. Bone stock DDM4 and a stock G17 would be an excellent K.I.S.S. kit.
Wow, now that’s a good looking rifle 
Go with the DD
There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with DD bbls or the CHF processes IMO.
I don’t know why, but it seems like ever since BCM started offering CHF bbls, and people started asking about them, they have gotten a bad interwebz reputation…completely underserved.
Do you need CHF? No.
Is it nice to have? Yes.
