Default LMT vs Daniel Defense
Have a choice of a DD M4 V5 (mid-lenght flattop, which goes well with my plan on going with electrooptics, CHF barrel) no iron sights included.
https://danieldefense.com/rifles/mid-length/daniel-defense-m4-carbine-v5.html

or a gorgeous LMT midlenght, monolithic stock cryogenically treated barrell nice LMT front and rear Irons included.

.. the LMT is an extra $300...
Boht seem to be in stock and available for immediate delivery.

Thoughts?

Another wrinkle. the LMT is only a half hour dirve away the other shop has ot ship it (I have credit for a free transfer w/ my FFL right now though)

Does either Melonite their gas tube?
Whats a better barrrel a CHF form DD or a "cryogenically trated " from LMT?

The DD CHF barrel is excellent, I've never heard of complaints. I have no idea about the LMT.

Ok I just orderde the DDM4V5.
The LMT was local and seemed even a bit cooler to me with its nice LMT Irons.. but the DD was actually the better value.

Thanks for the help fellas.
