POTD: Daniel Defense Limited Series: RIPTIDE

I am sure that by the time this Photo Of The Day goes online, all of the Daniel Defense RIPTIDEs will have been sold, despite the price of $4,499. Built on the compact and fast-handling DD4 PDW P chambered in 300 Blackout, this gun features an exclusive Sandoflauge Cerakote finish, evoking a striking coastal-inspired aesthetic.
The rifle is equipped with a custom-coated JK Armament 155 Mega Comp LT Goat HF muzzle device, enhancing its distinctive look and performance. For seamless operation, it includes a Radian Raptor LT ambidextrous charging handle and Radian Talon 45/90 lever kit in FDE, paired with an Arisaka Hand Stop (M-LOK, FDE) for confident weapon control. The Timney Armorer’s Trigger ensures crisp, repeatable pulls, while the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 3.5 MOA (FDE), mounted with a Scalarworks LEAP/03, delivers instant target acquisition.
