Daniel Defense DD4 RIII Rifle, 5.56 NATO, 16″ Barrel, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DD4 RIII Rifle, part number 02-191-03270-067, is a semi-automatic 5.56 NATO rifle built on a 16″ cold hammer forged Government profile barrel and supplied by Daniel Defense without a magazine.

Daniel Defense gives the no-magazine build its own part number because magazine capacity is regulated differently from one state and locality to the next. A dealer sending a rifle into one of those areas orders this SKU and fits a compliant magazine on that end instead. If capacity rules where you live do not require it, order the standard DD4 RIII 16″ configuration instead — the rifle itself is identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does this DD4 RIII ship without a magazine?

A: Daniel Defense builds this part number specifically for buyers and dealers in places where magazine capacity is restricted. Rather than send a magazine that could not be delivered, Daniel Defense leaves it out and the magazine is sourced locally to whatever capacity that jurisdiction currently allows.

Q: Is the rifle itself different from the standard DD4 RIII?

A: No. Same 16″ cold hammer forged Government profile barrel, same 1:7 twist, same mid-length gas system and RIS III 13.0 M-LOK rail, same ambidextrous lower. The only difference between the two part numbers is that no magazine is supplied with this one.

Q: What magazine should I buy for it?

A: The magazine well is unchanged, so magazines that fit the standard DD4 RIII fit this rifle. The capacity you may legally own is the part that varies, so confirm your state and local rules, then call 817-393-4000 and we will point you at something compliant.

Q: What is the muzzle thread pitch on the DD4 RIII?

A: 1/2 x 28 TPI, under the Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor. That is the common 5.56 thread pitch, so most 5.56 muzzle devices and direct-thread mounts will fit. If you are planning a specific suppressor or brake, call 817-393-4000 before ordering.

Q: Does the 16″ barrel mean this is not an NFA item?

A: Correct. With a 16″ barrel and a rifle stock this is a standard Title I rifle, not a short-barrelled rifle, so no tax stamp is involved. It still has to go through a licensed FFL like any other rifle.

Q: Can Western Sport transfer this rifle to me?

A: Yes. We are a licensed FFL/SOT dealer in Roanoke, Texas and a Daniel Defense master dealer, so we can transfer in store or ship to your local FFL. Call 817-393-4000 and we will confirm the paperwork your state requires for a rifle.
