Daniel Defense DDM4 MK18 5.56 NATO 32rd, FDE
1 in stock
Description
The Daniel Defense DDM4 MK18 is a semi-automatic AR-platform pistol built around the 10.3-inch configuration that USSOCOM fielded as a short-barreled carbine for close-quarters work. Daniel Defense builds this version as a pistol rather than an SBR, pairing the short barrel with an SB Tactical SBA3 stabilizing brace so it stays outside NFA registration. Shooters who want the handling of a true short-barrel 5.56 without the paperwork will find this the most direct route to it.
The RIS II quad rail handguard in Flat Dark Earth sets the MK18 apart visually and functionally, giving mounting real estate on all four sides for lights, lasers, and a vertical grip. Underneath is the hardware Daniel Defense is known for: a cold hammer forged chrome-lined barrel, a properly staked M16-profile bolt carrier group, and 7075-T6 receivers.
Daniel Defense DDM4 MK18 Features
- Cold hammer forged, chrome-lined government profile barrel with a 1:7 twist, which handles heavier bullet weights and holds accuracy through long strings of fire
- Daniel Defense RIS II Bolt-Up quad rail handguard in FDE, offering four sides of Picatinny space for lights, lasers, grips, and backup irons
- Carbine-length direct impingement gas system with a low-profile gas block, a proven layout for reliable cycling in the short-barrel format
- SB Tactical SBA3 pistol stabilizing brace with an adjustable length for shooters of different sizes and varying gear setups
- M16-profile, chrome-lined bolt carrier group with properly staked gas key and carrier screws for consistent function under hard use
- Daniel Defense flash suppressor machined from 17-4 PH stainless with a salt bath nitride finish, cutting the muzzle flash that a 10.3-inch barrel produces
