Daniel Defense DD4 M4A1 RIII Rifle, 5.56 NATO, 14.5″ Barrel, Black, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DD4 M4A1 RIII Rifle, part number 02-191-10613-067, is a semi-automatic 5.56 NATO rifle with a 14.5″ cold hammer forged Government profile barrel, a mid-length gas system and a black RIS III 12.5 M-LOK rail, supplied without a magazine.

This is the configuration dealers order when they are shipping into a state or locality that limits magazine capacity: same rifle, same build, magazine left out so that a compliant one can be supplied where the rifle is delivered. If that does not apply to you, the standard version of this M4A1 RIII is the listing you want.

Confirm capacity rules for your jurisdiction

Magazine capacity is governed at state level and sometimes at city or county level, and those rules get revised, so verify what applies to you before ordering rather than after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does no magazine mean on this M4A1 RIII?

A: It means Daniel Defense builds this part number with no magazine supplied. It exists because capacity is restricted in various jurisdictions, so the rifle travels on its own and the delivering dealer provides a magazine that meets the local limit.

Q: How is this black version different from the other 14.5″ M4A1 RIII?

A: This part number pairs a Government profile barrel with a mid-length gas system and a black RIS III 12.5 rail. The other 14.5″ build uses an M4 profile barrel with carbine-length gas. Mid-length gas generally gives a slightly smoother recoil impulse.

Q: Is a 14.5″ barrel legal without a tax stamp?

A: In this configuration, yes: the extended Daniel Defense flash suppressor is pinned and welded so the barrel permanently measures to the 16-inch rifle minimum. That makes it a standard rifle rather than an NFA item, and it transfers through a licensed FFL.

Q: Do I have to buy a magazine from Western Sport?

A: Not at all, but we can help. Because this SKU arrives without one, you will need a magazine before the rifle is usable. Confirm the capacity your jurisdiction currently allows, then call 817-393-4000 and we will recommend something that fits the rules and the rifle.

Q: What rail and mounting system does it use?

A: A black Daniel Defense RIS III 12.5, which is the M-LOK version of the RIS II pattern and retains the ability to mount accessories along its length. The top rail is uninterrupted for optics and iron sights. Call 817-393-4000 for accessory fitment questions.

Q: Can I have it shipped to my own FFL?

A: Yes. This is a rifle, so it must go to a licensed FFL, and we can ship to the dealer of your choice or transfer it here in Roanoke, Texas. Call 817-393-4000 with your dealer’s details and we will handle the paperwork end.
