Daniel Defense MK18, RIII, Semi-automatic, SBR, 223 Remington/556NATO, 10.3" Short Barrel, 32 Rounds, Anodized, Black

Daniel Defense MK18 RIII is a top-of-the-line short-barreled rifle that offers a variety of upgrades and improvements over its predecessor. The MK18 RIII is designed with weight and flexibility in mind, making it an excellent choice for tactical operations and other high-stress situations.

One of the most significant upgrades on the MK18 RIII is the RIS III rail system. This rail system is an optimized version of the already renowned RIS II rail developed by SOCOM. The RIS III is lighter than the RIS II but still provides extreme durability. It also features multiple M-LOK attachment points that allow for easy installation of tactical lights, lasers, vertical grips, and other M-LOK-compatible accessories. The RIS III also incorporates the 6-Bolt, Bolt-Up system, which is strong enough to withstand the recoil from an M203 grenade launcher.

The MK18 RIII also features fully ambidextrous controls, including the safety selector, bolt release, and charging handle. This means that both left and right-handed shooters can operate the rifle without having to move their dominant hand from the grip. This feature is particularly useful in high-stress situations where speed and accuracy are critical.

Another notable upgrade on the MK18 RIII is the 10.3” chrome-lined, heavy phosphate-coated Government-profile barrel. This barrel provides excellent maneuverability and durability, making it an ideal choice for close-quarters combat and other tactical situations.

The Daniel Defense MK18 RIII is an outstanding rifle that offers a range of upgrades and improvements over its predecessor. With its lightweight design, ambidextrous controls, and advanced rail system, the MK18 RIII is an excellent choice for anyone in need of a high-quality short-barreled rifle for tactical operations or other high-stress situations.
