As the finale of 2012s Torture Test 2, 35lbs of explosives were placed under a vehicle to simulate
an IED exploding during a convoy. The rifle survived, less the plastic butt stock as shown to the
left, and with the slightest tweaking of the buffer tube, was able to be fired without issue.
Why take a perfectly good rifle and come up with as many ways
as possible to destroy it? Three reasons- 1. Because we at Daniel
Defense constantly strive to test and improve our products; 2.
Because you cant truly evaluate a products performance until you
find ways to push it to failure; and 3. Because its a hell of a lot of
fun! Follow the links below to see DD rifles buried, dropped, frozen,
drowned, dragged, even dropped from helicopters, and placed in the

The original Daniel Defense Rifle, The Daniel Defense M4 Carbine created the definition of tactical perfection. Every aspect
of this rifle was engineered with the professional and shooting enthusiast in mind. Built to redefine the benchmark in
small arms performance, this precision crafted firearm will perform faithfully in any Military, Law Enforcement, Homeland
Security, or Personal Defense Environment. Available in your choice of either an M4 or Lightweight profile barrel.
One of the V1s most visible attributes is its proprietary front sight base, CNC-machined from 4140 steel, finished
with a salt bath nitride surface treatment, and featuring a serrated curved design to minimize glare.
Like all DDM4 models, the V1 features Daniel Defenses beveled and flared magazine well for faster, more secure
reloads.

The Daniel Defense DDM4ISR (Integrally Suppressed Rifle) 300 joins our family of precisioncrafted M4 Rifles. The ISR takes advantage of the best characteristics of the 300BLK by
integrating key components into one package, eliminating the need for two separate tax stamps.
While the rifle utilizes a 10.3 barrel, it is not classified as an SBR (Short-Barreled Rifle) because the suppressor is
permanently attached. The DDM4ISR 300s sound suppressor is threaded and welded to the proprietary ISR Integrated
gas block, bringing the barrel length to 16.145. While the rifle is at the 16 legal limit, the ISRs integrated suppressor will
require an NFA tax stamp. Class III dealers only. All NFA rules apply.
300BLK
(7.62x35mm)
The integral suppressor sits halfway inside the MFR rail. The design allows extra volume inside the suppressor
to maximize suppression while the extended design brings the overall barrel length past the federally-mandated
16, preventing the owner from having to register the ISR as a regulated short barrel rifle (SBR).
The ISR suppressors one-piece core easily removes with the help of the inclluded tool to facilitate end-user
cleaning and maintenance.
When shooting subsonic ammunition, the integrallysuppressed barrel of the ISR produces overall sound
pressure levels below even those of suppressed
9mm submachineguns, delivering an impressive
220gr payload downrange. With no adjustments to
the rifle, the user can switch to high performance
supersonic ammunition for extended range shooting.
The Daniel Defense fixed sights are available
separately; see the accessories section.

Our dedication to cutting edge technology,
manufacturing and quality control, has led
the way to winning the coveted US Special
Operations Command (SOCOM) Rail System
Contract and becoming the sole source
provider to the UK Ministry of Defense (MOD),
supplying rail systems for their SA80/L85. Our
designs, manufacturing, and commitment to
quality control continue to be cutting edge.

RAIL SYSTEMS
The AR15 Lite Rail III is the third generation of Lite Rail from Daniel Defense.
The improved design enhances the rails structural integrity, improves functionality,
ergonomics, aesthetics and ease of installation to the weapon system without
compromising its best-known attributes, one of which being the lightest rail system
on the market. Enhanced features include a machined one-piece design, replacing
the previous two-piece welded design of the first generation Lite Rail, and uses our
patented Bolt-Up System. The AR15 Lite Rail III requires only 4 bolts instead of 6
and has tabs that aid in alignment to the upper receiver during installation. Front and
Rear Sling Swivel Attachment Points are integrated into both the left and right side rails
and are designed to limit the swivels rotation, preventing twists and tangles in slings.

NEED TO KNOW
DD CHF BARRELS
Cold Hammer Forging (CHF) of barrels has been known for
decades to produce the most accurate, longest lasting rifle barrels
obtainable. The Cold Hammer Forging of barrels is accomplished
through intense hydraulic pressure applied at opposing angles by
carbide steel hammers. During the hammering process, a mandrel
is inserted into the bore while the carbide steel hammers shape
the barrel around the mandrel creating the chamber, the lands, and
the grooves. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, the Cold
Hammer Forging process changes the micro- structure of the steel
making it stronger, with a defect-free bore and the most consistent
chamber possible.
What started for Daniel Defense as a barrel project has quickly
proven to be an industry changer. Unable to locate a supplier of
Cold Hammer Forged barrels for our own rifles, we purchased a
Hammer Forge capable of supporting our needs. In early 2009,
after months of research and development and labor-intensive
testing, Daniel Defense introduced one of the only commercially
available 5.56 Cold Hammer Forge Barrels in the United States.
BARREL PROFILES
1. M4
2. Government
3. Lightweight
4. Strength 2 Weight (S2W)
This is the core element within our Hammer Forge Machine. These four hydraulic
hammers are responsible for shaping our barrel blanks around a carbide mandrel
which creates the lands and grooves of the bore as well as the chamber. Up to 8,000
barrels pass through this machine each month. Cold Hammer Forging (CHF) produces
barrels with a surface finish 11.5X smoother than traditional cut barrels as shown in
the below comparison.

MUZZLE DEVICES
A2 Flash Hider
Daniel Defense offers its own line of premium muzzle devices that have been designed, tested, and manufactured to meet the expectations of the most
demanding consumers. The Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor and Superior Suppression Device, in a series of tests, showed improved flash suppression
over the traditional A2 Birdcage. For the shooter driven by accuracy, the new Daniel Defense Muzzle Climb Mitigator Gen II redirects propellant gasses
through calibrated ports, countering both recoil and muzzle climb. Less recoil and muzzle climb results in quicker, more precise follow-up shots and
