Daniel Defense Rifles

Daniel Defense® Ambush™ 5.56 Kryptek Highlander

Accurate, tough, and hard-hitting, Daniel Defense Ambush hunting rifles take the best aspects of Daniel’s battle proven designs and tailor fit them to the modern sportsman. Built around an 18” Cold Hammer Forged barrel, the Ambush 5.56 NATO offers precision and accuracy with a wide variety of projectiles. Shielding the barrel and mid-length gas system is the Daniel Defense MFR 15.0 free-floating handguard. With a continuous picatinny rail on top and M-Lok attachment on the sides and bottom, there is plenty of room for any accessory that your hunt may require. The barrel is threaded in 1/2x28 TPI and capped with a knurled thread protector which can be easily removed should you want to attach a suppressor or other muzzle device. Like all DD Ambush hunting rifles, it comes from the factory with a Geissele Super Semi-Automatic, 2-stage trigger and an ambidextrous safety selector. A BCM Mod 4 Charging Handle further enhances operating the rifle. The platform is finished off in a vivid hydro-dipped Kryptek Highlander camo pattern. Ambush Rifles ship with the Daniel Defense Enhanced Pistol Grip and 6-Position Adjustable Buttstock. Backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
