Daniel Defense is one of the few recommended rifles over at the AR snob site. They are mostly mil-spec and will last a lot of rounds. They are priced decently for what you are getting.

I once owned a Bushmaster @ 10 years ago, But now I'm building an AR. Most of it is Spikes Tactical, with some magpull parts. I might go with Troy sights.

I've heard only good things about the DD products, including from people that run training courses and see a lot of ARs.
I already had enough ARs by the time they came out, or I might have been tempted myself.

I have one, a model DD-XV. First time out I was getting some short-stroking, but I think I just didn't do a good enough job on the initial cleaning, although they did have a run around the time that I got mine that apparently had out of spec gas ports. Second time out was better, although the cases are getting shaved pretty good -- probably just need to chamfer the ejector, or wear the gun in a little. Accuracy is OK, but would probably be better with younger eyes and/or better optics. Overall I'm satisfied, but not sure mine is really up to the awesome reputation DD has.

yaktamer, thanks for the input. I've ordered a mid-length gas system DDM4V3. I'll keep all of that in mind. One of the options I wanted was the chromed chamber and bore. That is standard for the DD. Accuracy is subjective. I'm not looking for a bench rest rifle (I would be looking at something else then), I'm looking for something that goes bang everytime and will work with whatever ammo I can find. btw, like the handle.
