A Little Backstory…
Daniel Defense began back in 1999 when founder Marty Daniel visited the shooting range for the first time. Immediately, he fell in love. He found that shooting was the perfect stress reliever and his engineering mind quickly went into overdrive. Daniel began wondering how to grow, innovate, and enhance firearms everywhere. Thus, the company we know today, Daniel Defense, was born.
In the years that immediately followed inception, DD came up with some truly groundbreaking products, including the “Big Hole Upper”, Sling Loop, and reliable rail systems, to name a few. What sealed DD’s fate was acquiring a contract by the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in 2003. DD beat out larger manufacturing companies, solidifying their place in the industry.
Not resting on their laurels, Daniel Defense went on to manufacture the DDM4 in 2009. They have been recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the USA, with a 1000% growth rate over a ten-year period. Don’t let their young age fool you–Daniel Defense is the name best associated with modern AR15 guns for sale.
