Carbines Available Right Now from Daniel Defense – Updated

Friday, December 28th, 2012

Daniel Defense is doing a great job of treading water in this tsunami of panic Black Rifle buying. They just called and told me that they have carbines in stock on their website right now.

Many of the models in stock are DDM4v2 which is a carbine length gun featuring a16″ Cold Hammer Forged M4 profile barrel, Daniel Defense A1.5 Fixed Rear Sight, Daniel Defense Front Site Base, Daniel Defense Flash Suppressor and Magpul buttstock.

It’s important to note that these are their standard prices and they haven’t raised them in spite of the current market. What you are paying for is a quality, mil-spec gun.

UPDATE – In addition to complete rifles, DD also has Upper Receiver Groups and Barrels in stock. Don’t forget their custom rifle program that will deliver a custom carbine in 10-14 days. They only take orders for as many rifles as they can assemble each day so there’s no back order on this program.

Get them while they’re in stock!
