The Daniel Defense M4 Hunter in 5.56 NATO (brand part no. 0212881702047) is a semi-auto AR-platform rifle built around an 18-inch S2W heavy barrel, finished in Kryptek Highlander camo Cerakote. Daniel Defense runs a mid-length gas system for smooth cycling and wraps the barrel in a 15-inch M-LOK rail. The upper and lower receivers are 7075-T6 aluminum, and the rifle ships optics-ready with a Picatinny rail in place of fixed sights. Among semi-auto hunting rifles in the AR rifles category, the M4 Hunter favors hunters who want AR ergonomics with a heavier barrel and a woodland camo finish.
