Daniel Defense DDM4®300 S Upper Receiver Group — Compact .300 BLK Performance
The DDM4®300 S Upper Receiver Group is a high-performance upper built for shooters who want a compact, fast-handling .300 Blackout platform while retaining the convenience of standard AR-15 magazines and bolts. This upper is built around a 262 mm Cold Hammer Forged S2W® profile barrel with a 1:8 twist and a pistol-length gas system, delivering increased muzzle energy from a short, maneuverable package. Note: this listing is for the upper receiver group only — not a complete rifle.
Daniel Defense designs components and complete systems to rigorous standards. This upper features CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum Mil-Spec upper receiver, a Chrome Moly Vanadium S2W® Cold Hammer Forged barrel that is chrome-lined and HP/MPI tested, a Daniel Defense DDM4 Rail 9.0 free-float handguard, and an M16-profile bolt carrier group — all engineered to provide durable, accurate performance from a compact form factor.
