Daniel Defense DD4 RIII Rifle 16 inch

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DD4 RIII Rifle 16 inch is a battle-proven AR platform built for shooters who demand reliability. This rifle combines a cold hammer forged chrome-lined barrel with forged 7075-T6 receivers that meet Mil-Spec tolerances. Every Daniel Defense firearm is hand assembled, quality assurance tested, and test fired before shipping.

Additionally, the RIS III handguard uses Daniel Defense’s patented 6-bolt Bolt-Up System. This design delivers superior rigidity compared to older quad-rail systems. You get a rock-solid mounting platform that repeats shot after shot.

Furthermore, M-LOK attachment points let you run modern lights, lasers, and grips without excess rail weight. The 16-inch barrel in 5.56x45mm NATO delivers consistent accuracy and long service life. This configuration is ideal for home defense, sport shooting, and tactical training.
