Select Fire Visits the Daniel Defense Factory in Georgia

In this episode of Select-Fire, we packed our bags for Daniel Defense’s factory in Black Creek, Georgia to see how they make the magic happen.
Founded in 2002 by President/CEO Marty Daniel, the company sprouted from Marty’s vision to create custom rifle accessories for his personal AR-15s- and because he sucked at golf.
By 2009, Marty decided to move into making the rifles themselves and the DDM4 was born.
Rather than just assemble parts made by other players in the AR game, Daniel Defense has resolutely sought to produce their own components in-house, controlling the quality to maintain a top-notch product.
As word of mouth spread about their guns, DD had to expand to meet the demand and give the people what they wanted- more Daniel Defense guns. This led to the DD5 line, the MK 12, MK 18, Ambush series hunting rifles, and AR pistols. In 2017, they even started making suppressors with the innovative 3D-printed WAVE series.
Daniel Defense has a little something for everyone in the AR rifle market these days- and is expanding into other lines.
Currently in a new 300,000 sq. ft facility so clean you could eat off the floor, they crank out 40,000 guns a year. Not bad for a company that has only been making firearms for a decade.

Hearing how DD took care of the customer that lost everything in the wildfire is incredible! My next AR is going to be a Daniel Defense, now I just have to pick the one I can't live without.

Thank you Daniel Defense for the generous replacement of a fire victim's rifle. Our family has lost two homes in the distant past to fire. Kindnesses such as what The people at Daniel Defense did heal heal the shock and grief of losing everything. God Bless them.

No good or bad, gun won’t do killing itself initially, depends on using, who used. Bad guy or someone has mental illness used, may cause other get hurt. So, good people can own gun for proper use, be identified, not put all to no, or got to a rough mess.
