Charles Daly Defense CDD-15 lower

Chooie · June 6th, 2008, 12:18 AM

I scored this out of a group buy on another forum. It's a preproduction lower (they were testing different engraving depths) with parts kit and 6 position stock. It will more than likely be mated to either a Stag or Charles Daly upper sometime this fall. The quality of this piece is fantastic, easily comparable to the high dollar brands of AR. I definitely think that Charles Daly Defense has hit a home run with this new entry to the market. As JD says, "It's not meant to be a match gun, it just has to work" - and he's absolutely right! I can't wait to complete this and put a couple hundred rounds downrange.

Chooie, did you end up only getting one? I got one, too. Sitting at my local FFL while I'm up in Virginia. What a coming-home present it'll be.

Hmm... the finish and logo machining are very much the same as lower's by Mega Machine Shop. I wonder if they make them. At first I'd say no judging by how hard it is for them to keep a steady supply out; obviously lowers aren't their primary concern in business.

But maybe they found a contract deal with Charles Daly to be profitable enough to ramp up some production!

No connection at all between Mega and Charles Daly. Our lowers are DoubleStar machined by J.V. Precision in CT.
