Product Description
Buy Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol Online | Western Sport — DD Master Dealer
The Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol in Black is the most authentic civilian-legal version of the SOCOM MK18 Close Quarters Battle Receiver available. Built on the same manufacturing line and to the same tolerances as the military-issue MK18, this 10.3-inch pistol-configuration AR brings genuine special operations performance to the civilian market.
The RIS II rail — the same rail used on SOCOM MK18s worldwide — provides a rock-solid, free-float mounting platform for optics, lights, IR lasers, and suppressors. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined 10.3-inch barrel is optimized for maximum reliability and accuracy in a compact package.
Whether you’re building a home defense system, a truck gun, or a suppressor host, the Daniel Defense MK18 Pistol in Black is the benchmark against which all other compact ARs are measured.
