The Daniel Defense DD M4A1 RIII (SKU DD191042380) is the rifle Daniel Defense built after watching what SOCOM did with URGI. The RIS-III M-LOK rail is the evolution of the RIS-II — same monolithic-feel clamping, same M4A1 footprint, but stripped of unnecessary weight and redesigned for modern accessories. M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock; top rail forward of the sight base; QD sockets in the usual positions.
The 14.5" cold-hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel is pinned and welded to a factory flash hider for a legal 16"+ OAL — no NFA paperwork, no tax stamp, none of the wait. Mid-length gas tames recoil and extends parts life. The upper is fully ambidextrous with the DD "grip-n-rip" charging handle, 6-bolt barrel nut, and a removable rail section for direct access to the gas block.
FDE Cerakote finish throughout. Daniel Defense buttstock and pistol grip. This is the closest civilian-legal analog to a modern URGI-style duty rifle in a non-NFA package.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
