Daniel Defense MK18

The MK18 AR15 style firearm is unmatched in size, weight, and performance, and features the picatinny quad rail Daniel Defense provides to USSOCOM.  The RIS II picatinny quad rail features a Bolt-Up System that has been rigorously tested prior to fielding by USSOCOM.  The 10.3 inch Cold Hammer Forged barrel is the same length in use for the MK18 upper most commonly used for CQB operations.  The independently ambi GRIP-N-RIP Charging Handle accommodates left- and right-handed shooters.  This rifle also comes with the ergonomic Daniel Defense Buttstock and Pistol Grip.

1. MUZZLE DEVICE: Improved design reduces flash signature compared to the traditional A2 birdcage for AR15 style firearms.
2. COLD-HAMMER FORGED BARREL: Intense hydraulic pressure process that forms the most accurate and longest-lasting barrels attainable.
3. FLARED MAGAZINE WELL: Widened and beveled magwell funnels magazines into place for the fastest, most secure reloads possible.
4. AMBI SAFETY SELECTOR: For right or left-handed shooters.
5. FREE FLOAT RAIL SYSTEM: Proprietary 4- or 6-bolt attachment to the upper receiver allows the rail system to free float the barrel, which will ensure barrel harmonics are not affected during operation
6. BUTTSTOCK: Features a nonslip cheek weld, interchangeable butt pads, and an integral QD point.
7. QD POINTS Integrated quick-disconnect points for the attachment of slings.
8. PICATINNY: Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny Rail attachment.
9. PISTOL GRIP: Ergonomic wrist angle, integral trigger guard and nonslip grip for comfort and control in all conditions
