STAY AWAY FROM DAVIDSON DEFENSE.

[Jimi Jah]

I have a bunch of their brakes, freefloats and a Davidson Defense barrel. All worked out well, I do like the slim freefloat keymods. One I paid $39 for, it's excellent, keymod, superslim, lightweight and a smooth FDE ceracoat finish.

The Davidson Defense barrel is a super match SS 16" spiral fluted Wyle 1/8 twist, nicely made and finished. It's marked, "USA". They claim it's a E.R Shaw SS blank.

During break in at the 25 yard range it did well, hole on top of hole.

Out at Octillo at 100~400 yards not so good. I got about a 4 moa with XM193 Federal. Hornady 75 grain match did no better. I'm not sure why this isn't doing better. It shoots and cycles perfectly.

Meanwhile, that ARD 7.62x39 barrel I bought a couple of years ago from them is going strong, it's a match grade AR-47 barrel. It does 2 moa with sloppy Wolf or Tula. I was banging the 400 yard steel every shot with it.

When your commie steel ammo is killing your expensive Hornady Match ammo something doesn't add up. That ARD AR-47 is my favorite AR shooter now.

Now I have a nice Criterion 16" I'm assembling, that ought to float my boat.

Reminds me of Daniel Defense like those downtown electronic stores that sell knockoffs:

Somy vs Sony
Panasomic vs Panasonic
Canon vs Canyon

I also added several of their $17 ambi safety selectors. Those are great with a shorter left side tang. They are also slotted with a sideways cut so they don't rub. The freefoats are all going strong here.

Stuff like that is pretty safe to buy. For critical parts like barrels and triggers the proven leaders are the best buy.

Delta Team Tactical = "Davidson Defense"

Garth Davidson is the owner of DTT. "Davidson Defense" is him branding his uppers that he puts together himself using different parts. ER Shaw does not provide them with barrels LOL. Not at those prices LOL

Well what are other's experiences now?

I want to buy an upper from them just to tinker with and get that I am only paying $200, but I expect it to shoot consistently and not fall apart.

I ordered a DD stock and grip. I went back and forth with them for 2 1/2 months. Keep in mind it said "in stock". I finally told them I was going to call Discover card. They said we'll get it shipped. I told them they had one week. I got tracking the next day.

Never again

Wait, what?! The bargain bin priced chinese junk isn’t high quality?

What's wrong with the one's at PSA?? They seem to have a good rep and there's always some on sale with free ship.

Quite a few listed here as shown below on page 2.

Yes you are a wise one for sure. As much as I would prefer to give my money to someone else maybe PSA is the best choice for me this time.

Most of their parts are well received, although I have yet to build one. Building one might the only way I'll be able to get another though.

Sneak a piece here, sneak a piece there. Sneak a piece everywhere.

Buy once cry once.... You get what you pay for...

All of the above.

[cpl_dan]

bought a H3 buffer from them thought it was a good price. Basically was a regular buffer dipped in lead then painted black. As soon as I put the spring on its was caught and peeling back off that crap.

If you would have used a vise and clamped down on the actual barrel, you might not have had this issue... Don't blame the manufacturer for your screw up.
