I have an older (2015-vintage) Daniel Defense M4A1, and I’ve noticed that the locking tabs seem a lot stiffer compared to newer stocks. I swap my factory DD stock for a SOPMOD stock on a regular basis, and removing/putting on the DD stock never seems to get any easier, even though I’m used to it at this point.
Some of thses are very tight, and difficult to get the locking pin to fully recede while also pushing it on. Suggest standing up the rifle, barrel to the floor. Use your hands to recess the lock mechanism like he showed, and your chest or stomach to apply downward pressure to seat it.
Just recently bought one for shits and giggles. Still waiting on it in the mail, I have a magpul on it currently but I just couldn’t get over the looks of this one. Worst that can happen is I don’t like it and find something else and sell it to a buddy for cheap.
No way the spring in mine seems too heavy.... installing new... this is ridiculous... need three hands... does not compress so easily as in video here. And pulling down? Yeah.... no... can't grip well enough... its there a happy tool to install this with???
So... the Daniel Defense stock performs well, locks up tight. HOWEVER, while I appreciate the unique appearance and changeable butt pads, the wickedly visable seam lines in their injection-molded parts are completely unacceptable for a stock that's $80 or more. Magpul quality per price seems superior. Live and learn.
Thanks for the straightforward video. There’s others that take 7 minutes to explain what you did in 30 seconds lol.

Cat approval is mandatory for a swift process, here.
holy shit i was about to take the cover off the buttstock and put the buffer tube in through the back of the buttstock.....thank you for this.

This was such a pain. I finally grabbed an adjustable wrench, clamped onto it and levered it down.

Love the color of that boomstick. Thinking of getting this stock for mine,are they worth it?
if you have a long beard then no, if not then yes.
Straight to the point ❤
Am I stupid or what… I am doing exactly the same but not coming off.
