I purchased a $300 rail from RifleGear yesterday. A Daniel Defense quad rail.
All I can say is that I was very excited about this expensive purchase but very disappointed at the way it came.
I know many of you guys may hate my post because you are a hardcore Daniel Defense owner and follower, but I am writing about my first experience with Daniel Defense.
The Omega X rail uses a proprietary nut which requires you to remove any existing ring/delta ring from the AR and mount this Daniel Defense ring on which holds on the the Omega X rail.
Pretty cool, DD was innovative to come up with their own design which also requires you to use a tool specifically to be used to mount this ring. Put the ring on, no problem.
This is what is included in the package
Heres where my problem was. The upper rail and the lower rail is held on to the Omega X ring with 2 allen screws each. 3 of the screws were loosened and able to freely spin with the allen key provided, but one of the screws was completely screwed in all the way. It was on so tight which made it impossible to screw it out. Without this allen screw taken out, it is impossible to properly attach this rail.
So, I invest $300 on the rail and it comes this way? C'mon DD. If I spend this much on your rail, it should be perfect and not coming with a problem like this...!
Allen screw is stripped, store will blame me saying that I am the one who stripped the screw and Daniel Defense will probably say the same thing.
Needless to say, I am disappointed at the fact that a product like this would come the way it did. I know you guys are thinking that I was just unlucky with this rail, but when I spend $300 for a rail like DD, these things should not happen.
Now what do I get? I wont be able to exchange it and DD will probably not take my word for it. Now im stuck with a Expensive rail that will not do me any good. I am in the process of contacting with DD so I will post any progress that goes on. I'm sure something will work out fine.
I knew I should've bought the Elite rail.... seemed like a much better design.
I will probably post this on other forums as well. Hopefully I was the only one, and not a bad batch where many will have the same problem. I know DD makes great products, just didn't expect my first purchase to be like this. Maybe they should inspect all the products before leaving the main warehouse to avoid these problems?
