They seem to be struggling with demand right now. Haven't seen regular shipments from them for a while.

Even if that article was written TODAY, there's absolutely nothing in there to hint that they would be going out of business. They beefed up capacity to meed demand, and then demand dropped off, so they had to let people go. It sucks, but it's a reality. You can still build a tremendous amount of guns and accessories with 100 people.

Good to hear vendor input! How would you compare DD demand to demand for other manufacturers? Do you read anything into the drop in regular shipments? I hope this is something you see periodically with lots of manufacturers, and not a problem specific to DD

It would be a real shame for a company such as DD to go out of business... although I HIGHLY doubt they are going out of business from what i know through vendor friends and my own personal dealings with their marketing team at a business level.

So do we still take "lifetime warranty" as a selling point, or just be glad that parts are interchangeable and think of the rifle as a stand alone product?

I have a habit of voiding the warranty on almost anything I own

But seriously... for the most part, I do consider items that I buy that are not major investments to be "cash and carry". I really don't expect much from manufacturers, so I am rarely disappointed. If I have a problem and find that a company actually IS on top of the game for customer service, I'm pretty happy... like when my wife bought me a bunch of work socks that have a lifetime warranty from WalMart. I figured, ya, right... "lifetime" defined as "until they have a hole in them".
Nope... She hasn't bought a single pair of work socks for me in over 2 years.

All of our orders are usually to our doors in about 7-10 days. Just placed another order with them yesterday and got my shipping confirmation today. I love the products and personally run them.

If their sales are way down, I expect some serious discounts.

They can't keep up with demand because their sales are way UP

DD aint going nowhere!

As a soon to be DD owner, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Do you have any evidence to back it up? And to amend the July 09' articles hinting at DD's imminent demise?

A lot of companies had furlough programs last year.

I know that DD is one of the better run companies selling AR pattern rifles. Their product line, customer service, and sales staff are top notch

OP, could you please change the title of the thread - there was nothing in that article that even remotely suggested that Daniel Defense was going out of business and I would hate for that assumption to be showing up in Google searches and adding to any rumors that may be floating out there.
