Daniel Defense MK18 SBR 5.56mm NATO 10.3″ Barrel FDE – NFA Short-Barreled Rifle

The Daniel Defense MK18 SBR delivers military-grade performance in a compact, mission-ready package — the same platform trusted by USSOCOM for close-quarters battle (CQB) operations. Chambered in 5.56mm NATO and featuring a 10.3″ Cold Hammer Forged barrel, this short-barreled rifle offers exceptional durability, accuracy, and reliability in a lightweight form factor.

At the heart of the MK18 is the iconic RIS II Picatinny quad rail system, engineered with Daniel Defense’s proprietary Bolt-Up System and rigorously tested before fielding by U.S. Special Operations Command. Whether mounting lights, lasers, foregrips, or optics, the RIS II gives operators and serious shooters the flexibility they demand.

The ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP Charging Handle accommodates both left- and right-handed shooters with ease, while the Daniel Defense ergonomic buttstock and pistol grip ensure a comfortable, consistent shooting platform across extended training sessions or real-world applications. Ships with one 32-round magazine and features a 1/2×28″ threaded muzzle for suppressor or muzzle device compatibility.
