The Daniel Defense DD4 RIS III 16″ Rifle AR15 style rifle is designed to satisfy the needs of both right- and left-handed shooters in popular shooting sports and for tactical and defensive applications.
Its fully ambidextrous lower allows a shooter to operate the bolt catch, safety selector, and magazine release without having to move or remove their dominant hand from the rifle’s grip.
The GRIP-N-RIP Charging Handle is fully ambidextrous as well.
A 12.5 inch lightweight RIS III rail—modeled after the revolutionary RIS II two-piece handguard developed for SOCOM.
Handguard features M-LOK attachment points for lighter weight while still offering M203 grenade-launcher attachment.
It surrounds a 16 inch Cold Hammer Forged Government Profile barrel, and our mid-length gas system, known to have a smoother recoil impulse.
This adds to this rifle’s accuracy by allowing for quick but precise rapid fire.
This rifle also comes with the ergonomic Daniel Defense Buttstock and Pistol Grip.
