Detailed Review
The Daniel Defense MK12 is a semi-automatic rifle that has been designed for long-range shooting. This rifle was created as a result of a collaboration between Daniel Defense and the United States military to create a weapon that could meet the needs of Special Operations forces.
This rifle features a 18-inch stainless steel barrel that has been cold hammer forged for added durability and accuracy. The barrel has been chambered in 5.56 NATO and has a 1:7 twist rate, making it ideal for stabilizing heavier bullets. The MK12 also has a mid-length gas system that reduces recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots.
The upper and lower receivers of the MK12 are made from 7075-T6 aluminum, which is both lightweight and strong. The upper receiver is also equipped with a free-floating quad rail that allows for the attachment of a variety of accessories, such as optics, lasers, and flashlights. Additionally, the rifle features a Geissele SSA trigger that has a crisp, clean break and minimal take-up.
The MK12 also comes equipped with a Magpul MOE buttstock and grip, which provide a comfortable and secure grip on the rifle. The rifle also includes a 30-round PMAG magazine, which is designed to feed reliably and has a durable polymer construction.
Overall, the Daniel Defense MK12 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality rifle that can deliver accurate shots at long range. This rifle is well-built, reliable, and easy to use, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced shooters.

May 4, 2016The DDF MK12 SPR is a great shooting rifle. Fit and finish is fantastic. I could not be happier. The trigger is a dream and after getting it initially sighted in at a 100 yards was having one little jagged hole. If you are in the market for a high quality
