Daniel Defense is universally recognized for manufacturing some of the most rugged, reliable, and highly sought-after AR-15 pattern rifles on the planet.

Standing out from standard production models, this exclusive rifle features a gorgeous factory “Rattlecan” Cerakote finish, a premium Geissele SSA two-stage trigger right out of the box, and the custom 2017 NRA Gun of the Year stamping on the receiver.
