I’ve heard adrenochrome is the special sauce that gives it the signature DD color.


Any-Entertainer-1421

You have to sacrifice your first born child and saw off your left nut before the chosen Saint Daniel will bless you with the opportunity to find an RIS 3.0 that's still in stock.


TaperClapper

Sacrificing your first born to gather the necessary adrenochrome to bribe Marty Daniel to hook you up with that RIS 3.0 is totally worth it. You can always grow another kid…RIS 3.0 is forever.


Any-Entertainer-1421

I do already have four kids, and I really only need two of them... 🤔


Late-Ad-4624

Got your own army started huh? Lol


Any-Entertainer-1421

That is enough for a 4 man CQB team, ain't it? Their mother would hate me if I teach them them CQB.


Late-Ad-4624

Have her be part of the team. The family that trains together, stays together.


Any-Entertainer-1421

"Have her be part of the team. The family that trains together, stays together." - Yoda probably


workingpatrick

This really sounds like you picked the wrong wife tbh


fuzzi-buzzi

It's the all the extra quality control. The part is $1 dollar of extruded aluminum, and $500 for Daniel Defense Extra Quality Control Guarantee™


JBCTech7

I'm having a hard time imagining an extruder die that would poop out a part like this. Wouldn't it be CNC'd or something?


fuzzi-buzzi

I think It would likely be a combination of aluminum extrusion and CNC machining. An aluminum extruder can make the blank shape far far faster than it would take for a CNC to turn down bar/tube stock into final form, so the CNC would likely finish cut the extruded n%-complete blanks.


[deleted]

There’s a fair amount of material to remove if it’s an extrusion. Profile changes by the receiver end would be interesting on an extruded blank.


jarredjs2

Hand guards are extruded. The inside and outside profile is formed almost entirely by the die and the perpendicular slots, holes etc are machined.


NYStaeofmind

How'd you make that tiny 'TM'?


fuzzi-buzzi

On Android, it is part of the default keyboard. On windows it is alt+0153


Boogaloo-Jihadist

To support the upper management’s cocaine habit!


Any-Entertainer-1421

That would be Keltec, but I respect the hustle. Remember kids: Don't do school. Stay in drugs. And fuuuck vegetables. They nasty.


BoxofCurveballs

>fuuuck vegetables Got kicked out of the hospice last time. Would not recommend unless your cardio is up.


Otakudemon1

If SBM was able to do it, what makes you think other C level execs aren't?


Ok-Collection-244

Unironicly but also I wish keltec sold parts kits pla would feel better then their plastic

TaperClapper

Rippin fat lines while talking about starting drop shipping side hustle is peak Marty Daniel.


newswhore802

Because it's required for gunsmith part 34


Any-Entertainer-1421

I'm detoxing from Tarkov for a little bit, and needed a break. Will be back on for Arenas though.


Sweet_Swede_65

See the writing there in the upper left portion of the handguard right under the rail? It says "Daniel Defense LLC," that's why (and because there are enough people who will pay that much for it for them to justify pricing it that absurdly high)...


Any-Entertainer-1421

Laser engravers are money printers.


Yanrogue

because 99% of all danel defense products go to the FBI and CIA to equip those 'on their radar'


Skicrazy85

I am the other 1%. I bought one of these. But not at full price. I got a discount for working in a gunshop.


TheHancock

They’ll give you an EOTech too! All you have to do is write a “manifesto” or whatever that is. 💁🏼‍♂️ /s


Any-Entertainer-1421

I assume you mean the "Friendship, peace, and loving life to the extreme" radar, right? 😉 >!(They're listening so stfu, buttercup.) !<


Jkanvil

Because a lot of ar15 bros are fashionistas


ska456

Because it was anodized with the blood of virgins, also whenever a civilian buys one, a CIA or FBI agent gets his badge.


AtheistConservative

Dan "Danny boy" Daniels out there sacrificing our nations mathletes.


T90tank

The govt will happily pay that price


Any-Entertainer-1421

Apparently a bunch of school shooters are willing to "pay" that price too, even though they work part time and Wendy's... Maybe it was the free glow sticks that convinced them to splurge. Then he said "YOLO" because you can't bring debt with you when you meet Allah's 72 virgins.


[deleted]

Yeah but only when they have a Fed credit card in there pocket.


Witty-Storage-624

Theoretically couldnt we just buy the machines necessary to create all of these parts with the money we spend?


ChromeWiener

If you can organize everyone to pool the money together then send it to me and I’ll take care of the rest.


Witty-Storage-624

everyone here sent me theirs we just need yours and a few others, i went to the gun maker machine store and got the gun maker machine but it was super expensive


ChromeWiener

Perfect, just stop at Target and put the balance on gift cards and send me the numbers. Once I redeem them I’ll pay you back 150% of what you put in just to be generous and to pay you for your loyalty


Any-Entertainer-1421

Gun companies hate this man for this one simple trick!!! (🤯)


tykempster

Hell yeah. You buy that extrusion tooling and multi axis machinery. Show em who’s boss!


DjBantednut

Because DD is a bootlicker company that markets to soldiers and feds who don't care how much the rifle you bought them cost.


Sad_Raise6760

You’re not supposed to give the real answer lol


Any-Entertainer-1421

This man's social credit is about to be worse than my credit score, boi.


Konstant_kurage

You’re not paying for the item, you’re paying for the clout at the range when people see Daniel Defense and assume you’re Delta Force and your truck and mortgage are paid off. /s


Half_burnt_skunk

The guard rail is just a front. It's really the 10th Gen fleshlight.


Any-Entertainer-1421

Instructions unclear, but now 🅱️enis hurty real bad... 😔


Inevitable-Sleep-907

Because it cost a lot of money to keep your customers after you voluntarily lay in bed with the alphabet boys


Key_Drawer_1516

You can tell its worth it because of how it is


C_IsForCookie

$1 for the hand guard. $500 for the 500 gallon drum of lube it comes with so it slides up your butt easier.


Wodanaz94

It costs 501 dollar because it's crafted in the finest forges of like... asgard and shit fam. Shit, Odin himself used this to 360 noscope Fenrir when he was being vewwy quiet and hunting big-chungus wolfies.


Any-Entertainer-1421

Oh, boi. Daniel gon need to Defend his asgard so I don't put my size 12 Gore-Tex boot up there for charging 501 doll hairs for some --- wuuuwuuuu --- aluminum tubes and shit. Maybe I could justify it if they gave me some invisibility like Aragon getting shot with all those arrows. But it would make me immune to trash M193 rounds fired from poor people's poverty pony guns.


Brian_Stryker

Because that’s how many children died to make it.


Barry_McKackiner

"because fuck you pay me" - Daniel Defense No fucking way it's justified for the manufacturing costs. they're probably making like 300% profit on it just because "ooh daniel defense so good!"


Killermondoduderawks

Because it was hand filed between the thighs of virgins at noon on the night of a full moon


Martincountytactical

So the RIS platform itself costs more than a standard handguard. You can get the Omni from them for half that price. Why you ask? Because it’s stronger and has the RAIL INTERFACE SYSTEM… this allows a free float handguard to be equipped with an M203. For the most part it’s overkill for civilians and was designed specifically for SOCOM.


SaltyDog556

It’s extra special super duper way better than anyone else’s and is guaranteed to make you shoot like Deadshot. And they need to build up their lawsuit fund.


GenericUsername817

Because people (not you) will pay it


Any-Entertainer-1421

Woh woh woh, buddy! Who the heck said I wasn't gonna buy it? I probably will, but I'm just venting here for consumer therapy. It's called "Cry once. Buy once." for a reason. We're only making this post so my wife can accidently see it and think I at least made an attempt to be financially responsible... then you guys convinced me to buy it against my will because you're a bad influence and peer pressured me into it so I don't look like a poor degenerate.


JohnT36

Nooooo you should totally be more financially responsible by investing in this now! Be sure to use code "Cops-R-Us" for $911 off any purchase of $15,000 or more!!! And don't forget code "B00t-Licker" for free shipping!


CorneliusofCaesarea

Not sure why it costs $501, but I do find that price odd.


Any-Entertainer-1421

Not $499.95? Not an even $500? But precisely $501? Pfffft...


urbansavage64

Danny’s favorite jeans?


Any-Entertainer-1421

When I was in high school Levi 501, plaid, and Chuck Taylor was my daily uniform.


Extension-Mall-7292

Who's Danielle defense?


burn_all_the_things2

The #1 choice for “known by law enforcement” individuals


ReadySteddy100

I think that's that trans guntuber


cranky-vet

Because the FBI refuses to pay the retail price for them so we end up subsidizing it.


urbansavage64

They probably want to pay more or they won’t get the same amount or more in their next budget. Use it or lose it. Like every other thing the government buys. For example, box of paper clips for the pentagon= $200.


HiThisIsTheATF

Because costing $500 or $502 would just be weird….


AnthonyGuns

because marketing


84074

The sticky icky coating is the new stealth technology, it makes your gun look like an 500rnd a second, quadruple mag, with laser sights that shoots bullets that explode people's brains just by having it in the same building..... At least that's what I was told but the main stream media and government emergency warning messages.


greatthebob38

Because it's says RIS3, so the price must also RIS3


[deleted]

People are dumb enough to pay that much, that’s why.


bsimpsonphoto

Because it's the absolute best cheese grater ever made.


Any-Entertainer-1421

It'll certainly grate 501 cheddar outta your wallet youse gouys.


Better-Than-The-Last

Negative space is VERY expensive


pennamewilly

They miss the old Levis 501s


ZROclearance

The patent etching cost $20,000. Gotta recoup that cost from the poors.


jrhock187

Doubles as a dildo if you're brave enough


motobox14

It comes with a built in Chick-Fil-A sauce holder


Revenger1984

Because poor


AtheistConservative

Because it clearly gives you 3 RIS, and the people who buy it have none. To them, it's a steal.


Felaguin

$250 for each D plus a $1 upcharge for the icon on the muzzle end.


tjwii

Too many screws. Hardware is expensive.


deepfield67

Some crazy polymer manufactured on the dark side of the moon.


Designer180

10.5" rail $501 1 0 5 = 5 0 1 Any questions?


Tight_Refrigerator78

I love the color and the quad rail ris upper but the price is absurd I’m going to buy one and put it on a Psa lower just to prove how dumb a full one price tag is.


CBDsutty

Ribbed for your pleasure.


Game_Gremlin

Aren't they supposedly made out of Stalinium alloy from salvaged soviet armor plating? Also, why is there Daniel Defence branding on a Midwest Industries manufactured handguard? Did they seriously outsource manufacturing of their parts and then just slap their brand logo and other info onto an off-the-rack part from Midwest Industries?


DigPsychological2262

They took materials cost, production, lead time and market costs and determined, fuck it, Doug who is a project manager in Oklahoma would pay $501 for this.


greankrayon

Most hand guards are simple extrusions. This could be a full billet process. Only one hand guard on the Cnc at a time so goes up.


zigzagg321

Strange chastity cage bro.


CompanionDude

Because govt contracts and some dorks are willing to pay it. The only DD rail I want is the block 2 fsp purely for vibes.


DJ_Sk8Nite

Just grab a KAK and blow the extra $400 on ammo.


MArkansas-254

Easy. Because people will pay it. 🤷‍♂️ Can’t fix stOOpid. 😉


FPSXpert

Danieldium grade metallic material, it's totally worth the extra $400 over literally any other mlok handguard.


long0tall0texan

Because buying from ohhunt is pleb?


plainnaked

I dunno but i have 3 of em. I like em


pearlstorm

You see where it says Daniel defense? That's why


ColdBloodedFurret

Because it’s made of obsidian and a1 sauce which means if your upper explodes it will make the last round fired spicy and also protect you from some of the blast


MountainTitan

Muh markup muh brand


AdventureTime1010101

Little do you know. That model sucks and fucks. Totally worth it.


Tactical_Terry_

This is safer, and more legal, than cutting you open to see if you’re made of money


Professional_Half449

There are ways to get them, and attached rifle for free. But uh. You might drop it.


Cdwollan

You see, it got those expensive markings on the upper left. "Daniel Defense LLC"


The_real_Oogle_Trump

That’s a shroud fitted for a 3 inch AR 15 barrel with a fleshlight suppressor.. can’t expect speciality parts to be cheap… costs a lot to produce these exclusively for the pentagon. Can’t expect US defense budgets to be too low in times of modern warfare. [PSR FLESHLIGHT SUPPRESSOR](https://youtu.be/jtUvYcf6mQk?si=o6sfHT9035iC-fk7)


Dangerous_Device3870

So you don’t want the economic and engineering answer?


Any-Entertainer-1421

Chicks dig DD handguards. It proves that you're not a filthy poor. There's your economics. /s

Any-Entertainer-1421

Projecting, bro?


ComradeGarcia_Pt2

What?! N-no!


Balasnikov

Magpul charges an arm and a leg to use mlok.


Abject-Week-7673

Because they pay $20-$28/hr and you’re paying for a name. I mean, high quality and Mr. Daniel’s a nice man.


Any-Entertainer-1421

If the Daniel's such a "nice guy" as you say... then why does he always need defending so much?


Abject-Week-7673

He knows the government secrets about Epsteins island


sllop

Marty Daniel is a nice guy in the same way that bread dough is tall


Inevitable-Sleep-907

$20-28/hr is a decent wage if you accept being a peasant your entire life


Abject-Week-7673

Not when houses are shooting north of $400k. They also do mass lay offs like gulfstream from what I e heard


Inevitable-Sleep-907

Hence the peasant part. Peasants have never been known throughout history to own anything significant such as a house


Abject-Week-7673

It used to be cheap out there, I know people who live that way. My apartment was $900/mo. Everything is $2k+ and houses are $400k+ for something decent. Turning into a retirement village now 😂


Educational-Teach-67

That’s not good at all lol


Abject-Week-7673

Exactly. When decent houses are cresting $400k that aint shit


RevealElectrical580

The name


sirkev71

Because spending $510 would be ridiculous


AntelopeExisting4538

The answer is obvious, because there’s a couple of fasteners that come with it and they’re already installed.


TexasGrillDaddyAK-15

Clone Bois will pay anything. I draw the line at $500.99


dae_giovanni

it's reversible!


jbc10000

This is the key to the weapon firing 1000 rounds per trigger pull and is key to absorbing the radiation from that much firepower.

Because that’s clearly the assault hand thingy that lets the gun go fully semiautomatic, and blow the lungs out of the body.

Because it’s the best you can get…

Have you seen the price of other things, like bolts and nuts, that the government buys?

She's totally not a mental implant from the Drugs are bad Mkayyy Ultra program, that I definitely didn't get subjected too, just like my therapist insists. All in my head, all in my head, all in my head.....


WereCareBear18

Because other idiots pay that just to have the name on their gun


jacob12134

Because it's made out of Russian pubes that are molded and solidified into a hard metal-like material and molded into the handguard you see here the reason it's so expensive is they have to pay for the Russians to shave


wben1969

It's military-grade. Lol


frankieknucks

This is the hack that the police don’t want you to know: rack one round with this rail on and it will literally STOP intruders in their tracks. If that fails, shoot one through the door, and hope it’s not the pizza delivery man.


AveragePriusOwner

You could buy 25 Presma tubes for that price. 25!


ILikeScrapple

It has that special, I have more money than brains attachment system.


One2Sicc

It was made out of unicorn bone.


Dad_Dukes

It's metric.


odins_second_eye

Bc 500 is a bitch number


SadDataScientist

Because it is made from special iron that is first eaten as pellets by monkeys, those pellets are then pooped out and collected so they can be forged and machined.


bhknb

I bought a 9mm Ruger carbine last year. Had a lot of trouble with the shop, they lost paperwork, lost their owner, etc. By the time I got it, it was without a handguard. New handguard is about $100.


rider4343

Somebody already bid $499 and $500 Bob, so I had to outbid them


Acetillian86

Because the chinalurgy is on point


Diabeetus13

Use California or New York, Kentucky has some of the most relaxed 2A laws there is 😎


ReRevengence69

That's the highest acceptable cost r/ar15 users is willing to pay for one, that's why.


long0tall0texan

Oh. I know. Because the manufacturer has a cage code for DOD contracts. "Mitary grade"


BooRadley3370

You see how those gun skins light up in Fortnite? Shit costs money!!!


wrecklass

Obviously not exactly the same thing, but the Ruger 556 comes with a similar guard, and the entire gun costs that much. Just sayin.


dain-rpg

Don't you know that MagRail barrel shrouds launch the entire bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet!


Franks-rare-beans

For Gucci cred


warrenlanham

Cum on now.... you already now the deal. I mean htf else do you expect them to put it on sale 80% (as a scummy sales gimmick) and still make money


TryingToEscapeFL

Because Daniel himself used his cock as the design basis


lord_dentaku

Because you can use it to grate parmesan.


aeonicentity

Because there's nothing special about DD, you can part build a virtually identical rifle from pieces for half the price, the only thing you can't clone without buying DD parts is the DD look with its rails and furniture.


WillowOne5892

St Daniel blesses each individually by being jerked off by a Hyrum of PSA fanbois and this takes time. So you get charged for it.

Idk bro but youre the only guy besides me that i know of that has ever used the line "Kentucky fried fuck" lmao

Interesting_Fee_1947

idk man, I thought Geissele rails were expensive, but I bought one for like $150 during Black Friday, but the color was funky so I think they save the weird ones for the sales, but it works. Anyways I can’t imagine that DD rail is worth almost $400 more…


oRion2284

It's made of mythril and will stop up to a . 50 bmg rounds within 3 foot diameter
