Thanks for the info guys.

I'll avoid the Colt altogether.

I did notice however the Daniel Defense warranty is a lifetime one and the DPMS is 3 years. Plus I must admit I do find the DD more aesthetically pleasing.

I noticed on the DD website they claim their guns are "100% Mil-spec." Is this true? I looked on the infamous chart and it appears the only major difference between the DD and the Colt was the handguard.

Also, would the rear fixed sight on the DD get in the way if I installed optics in the future? I would like having BUIS and I am not sure how easy it would be to add/remove the fixed rear sight in an emergency.
