Daniel Defense GL/SSC RIS II 5.56 NATO Braced Pistol 12.5" Chrome-Lined Barrel - FDE

The legend is back. Once considered nearly impossible to obtain, the GL/SSC has returned — now available to the public for the first time in its original uncompromising form. Built for shooters, collectors, and professionals who demand authentic military-inspired performance, the GL/SSC combines iconic design, combat-proven durability, and modern suppressor-ready capability into one elite 5.56 NATO platform.

At the heart of the rifle is a 12.5" cold hammer forged government-profile barrel crafted from Chrome Moly Vanadium steel and finished with a heavy phosphate coating for maximum durability under extreme use. The chrome-lined bore and chamber enhance longevity and corrosion resistance, while the carbine-length gas system delivers reliable cycling and balanced handling in a compact package.

What truly defines the GL/SSC is the legendary free-floating RIS II rail system with integrated hanger assembly. Designed to support full M203 mounting compatibility without additional adapters or specialized tools, the rail maintains barrel harmonics while providing extensive accessory mounting space and suppressor-ready functionality. This is not a clone or reproduction — it’s the real configuration enthusiasts and professionals have pursued for years.
