The Daniel Defense MK18 is a complete AR-15 upper receiver group with a 10.3-inch cold hammer-forged 5.56mm NATO barrel and a 1:7 twist. The upper has a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver and a DD RIS II MK18 quad rail. The handguard carries a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish, and an M16 profile bolt carrier group is included. The rail is built to support a modern optic.
This upper suits AR-15 builders who want a compact, MK18-style upper with an optic-ready top. The independently ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle lets left- and right-handed shooters work the action, and the short barrel is set up for close-quarters handling. The Flat Dark Earth finish gives the build a distinct look. An M16 profile bolt carrier group ships with the upper as standard, so the build starts complete.
