Daniel Defense made an addition to both their line of 300 Blackout rifles and short rifles with the new M4300s. Other 300blk rifles in their lineup include the Ambush, the M4300 pistol, and the integrally suppressed one-stamp-gun DDM4ISR. Being a factory Short Barreled Rifle (SBR), you'll have to apply for and receive an approved Tax Stamp before you get to take it home with you. Here's what they have to say about it: The 300S was designed for those demanding a high-performance, short barrel rifle chambered in the versatile 300 Blackout cartridge. Built around a 10.3” Strength-to-Weight profile barrel, the 300S uses standard 5.56 bolts and magazines to deliver .30 caliber projectiles with greater muzzle energy than comparable 5.56mm platforms. The increasingly popular 300 Blackout cartridge has proven itself to be extremely efficient in short barrel rifles, yielding superior ballistics over the venerable 7.62×39 cartridge. With a wide variety of factory ammunition made for everything from home defense, target shooting, hunting, suppressed operation, and tactical applications, the 300S is capable of delivering exceptional performance from a compact, fast-handling package. The DDM4 300S is available for purchase from authorized Daniel Defense dealers or directly from Daniel Defense. MSRP for the 300S is $1749.00 About Daniel Defense Located in Black Creek, Georgia, Daniel Defense is a leading manufacturer of premium firearms, rail systems, and accessories.
