Daniel Defense DDM4 GL/SSC, 5.56 NATO, 12.5" Barrel, No Magazine, Black/FDE, Pistol Daniel Defense calls the GL/SSC a legend, and for good reason. The original was so hard to get that only 25 ever reached civilian hands, and builders went to great lengths to copy it. Now Daniel Defense offers it to the general public as a complete AR pistol, built around the free-float GL/SSC RIS II rail with an integrated hanger system for full M203 and suppressor compatibility. This listing is part number 02-088-00385-067, the pistol version with a black receiver set and a Flat Dark Earth rail. It ships without a magazine in a Daniel Defense full-latch impact plastic case, with an SB Tactical SBA3 pistol stabilizing brace on the buffer tube. The once unobtainable GL/SSC rail on a 12.5 inch Daniel Defense pistol. Free-Floating GL/SSC RIS II The GL/SSC RIS II integrates all of the M203 grenade launcher mounting components directly into the rail, with no extra parts or special tools. Because it free floats, it gives you room for lights, lasers and grips without touching the barrel, so it does not affect barrel harmonics. The hanger system is also built for suppressor compatibility. The rail wears a Flat Dark Earth finish over a black upper and lower, a two-tone look that matches the original guns that made this rail famous. 12.5 Inch Cold Hammer Forged Barrel Daniel Defense hammer forges its barrels in house from chrome moly vanadium steel. Cold hammer forging packs the steel tight around a mandrel, which gives long barrel life and consistent accuracy. Each barrel is chrome lined, Mil-Spec heavy phosphate coated and HP/MPI tested. The GL/SSC barrel is a 12.5 inch government profile with a 1:7 twist on a carbine length direct impingement gas system. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 and wears a DD A2 flash hider, so you can swap to a suppressor mount or another device if you want. Check your local laws before buying or using a suppressor. Brace and Handling The SB Tactical SBA3 pistol stabilizing brace has 5 positions of adjustment and an integral QD sling point. It is a pistol brace, not a shoulder stock. Overall length runs 29 to 32.25 inches and the pistol weighs 6.2 lb, so it stays handy inside a vehicle or a house while giving you a longer sight radius than a 10.3 inch gun. The GRIP-N-RIP charging handle has independent latches on both sides, so left- and right-handed shooters can run the rifle the same way. The upper and lower receivers are CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and Type III hard coat anodized. The upper has indexing marks and M4 feed ramps, and the lower has an enhanced flared magazine well and a rear QD swivel attachment point. Is the GL/SSC Right for You? The GL/SSC is for collectors and clone builders who want the real Daniel Defense rail instead of a lookalike, and for shooters who want a 12.5 inch 5.56 pistol with a free-float quad rail.
