Daniel Defense DDM4 MK12 SPR 5.56 NATO 18" CA Compliant Rifle

The Daniel Defense DDM4 MK12 SPR delivers precision rifle performance in a California-compliant configuration, combining an 18-inch cold hammer forged barrel with a specialized stock system designed for accuracy at extended ranges. This 5.56x45mm NATO platform bridges the gap between standard carbines and dedicated precision rifles.

What Makes This Different

The MK12 SPR features Daniel Defense's proprietary cold hammer forging process that creates a barrel with superior accuracy potential compared to standard button-rifled alternatives. The 18-inch barrel length maximizes velocity from 5.56 NATO ammunition while maintaining maneuverability. The 6-position stock incorporates SoftTouch overmolding that reduces felt recoil and provides consistent cheek weld positioning critical for precision shooting.

Key Features

• 18-inch cold hammer forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate optimized for heavy bullets
• Hard coat anodized 7075-T6 aluminum receivers with Type III finish
• 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for comfort and consistency
• Black polymer pistol grip with ergonomic texturing
• California-compliant configuration with 10-round magazine capacity
• MIL-SPEC trigger group and bolt carrier group
• Picatinny rail system compatible with standard optics and accessories

Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to maintain sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition while providing the reliability expected from Daniel Defense platforms. The longer barrel extracts maximum velocity from both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles, making it effective for competitive shooting, hunting applications, and precision work at distances beyond typical carbine ranges. The hard coat anodizing resists corrosion and wear under adverse conditions.
