Description
The Daniel Defense MK18 pistol features the railed forend Daniel Defense currently provides to USSOCOM and a 10.3” Cold Hammer Forged barrel, the same length in use for the MK18 upper most commonly used for CQB operations. The Flat Dark Earth MK18 rail system features the Bolt-Up System which has been rigorously tested prior to fielding by USSOCOM (currently over 15,000 units). LESS WEIGHT, MORE FLEXIBILITY-with additional features that make this unmatched short-barreled rifle even lighter, more maneuverable, and more controllable. The MK18 RIII features a fully ambidextrous lower receiver, and Daniel Defense replaced the RIS II rail system with a lighter-weight RIS III rail system that utilizes M-LOK attachment instead of picatinny. Class III dealers only, all NFA rules apply.
