The Daniel Defense DD4 RIII represents a masterstroke in modern firearm engineering, tailored for the discerning shooter. This rifle builds upon the battle-tested M4A1 platform, introducing enhancements that prioritize adaptability and performance.
Ambidextrous Excellence: At the heart of this innovation is a fully ambidextrous lower receiver. Designed to cater to both right- and left-handed operators, it delivers unparalleled control through enhanced flared magazine wells and rear receiver QD swivel attachment points. Crafted from CNC machined 7075-T6 aluminum with Type III hard coat anodizing, durability meets precision in every aspect.
A Lighter Handguard: The transition from RIS II to RIS III rail system marks another significant improvement. Utilizing M-LOK attachments instead of traditional Picatinny rails reduces weight without sacrificing functionality or strength—an essential factor when maneuverability is paramount.
The Heartbeat - Barrel & Gas System: A chrome moly vanadium steel barrel at 14.5 inches sets the stage for accuracy with its cold hammer-forged construction and 1:7 twist rate. Chrome lining ensures longevity while heavy phosphate coating fortifies against wear. Complementing this setup is a mid-length direct impingement gas system featuring a pinned low-profile gas block made from hardened 4140 steel.
Muzzle Device & Bolt Carrier Group: The pinned and welded flash suppressor crafted from extended 17-4 PH stainless steel undergoes salt bath nitride finishing—a testament to Daniel Defense's commitment to reducing muzzle signature effectively. Meanwhile, an M16 profile bolt carrier group endures rigorous MP testing; it’s chrome-lined with properly staked gas keys ensuring reliability under stress.
This U.S.-made masterpiece weighs just over six pounds yet stands ready whether your need lies within tactical scenarios or sport shooting engagements—the superior craftsmanship evident throughout each component guarantees exceptional performance whenever called upon.
