Daniel Defense MK18

Daniel Defense recently introduced a special edition large-format pistol, the new Clint “Magdump” Morgan Signature Series MK18. This project represents a special collaboration between Daniel Defense and Clint Morgan.

The Clint Morgan MK18 consists of a Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II upper built on a Daniel Defense DD4 lower finished with a customized woodland Cerakote finish. The right side of the lower receiver includes a specialized emblem done in bold white. The rifle is sold as a kit that also includes an olive-drab green hard-side storage and carrying case, a custom pocket size print edition of the US Constitution and a special challenge coin. 

Clint Morgan himself helped to spec out every detail and part of this large-format pistol. Because these MK18 builds include a 10.3-inch MK 18 barrel by default, they also include an SB Tactical SBA5 pistol brace. This 10.3 inch cold-hammer-forged barrel delivers close-quarters accuracy and durability and is capped with a Huxwrx muzzle device that serves both as a flash hider and Huxwrx suppressor mount. The Clint Morgan MK18 also includes a Daniel Defense RIS II rail, SureFire light, Unity Modbutton and rail accessories for reliable illumination, solid control and mission-ready performance. 

Clint Morgan MK 18 Features:

  • SBA5 brace and Driven Arms VCG‑L grip.
  • Equipped with a Huxwrx flash hider
  • Daniel Defense Enhanced Trigger
  • Custom laser engraving
  • Includes a SureFire Turbo Mini Scout Light Pro, Unity Tactical Modbutton Lite, Burn Proof Gear Rail Wrap in OD Green, Magpul AFG-2 in black, and a black EoTech EXPS2 optic.
  • Comes with exclusive extras: a limited-edition challenge coin, a custom Pocket Constitution and a signature patch.
