You’ve taken the plunge and bought a high-quality Daniel Defense® Block 2 M4. What’s next? You’ve spent all this time researching it and learning all about the rifle’s features and specs. Once it’s in your hands, you might wonder, “What’s next?” Whether you plan on customizing it or taking it out to the range immediately, here are some ideas.

Customize It

The Daniel Defense® M4 carbine is ready to go right out of the box. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t customize it even further to fit your needs. You might want a scope, a suppressor, or accessories like a light or a foregrip. You might want to add a sling to make it easier to carry if practicing drills. While some like to keep their rifles stock, if you want to trick it out to fine-tune your shooting experience, the M4 platform is incredibly adaptable.

Take It to the Range

While it’s nice to look at your new rifle, it was meant to be fired. If you’re eager to see how your new rifle performs, take the M4A1 to the range and put it through its paces. See how it compares to your other ARs. If you skipped the previous step, you might want to see if any accessories are needed. You might want to test it out and set it up differently, whether you are primarily using it for target practice at the range or competitive shooting.

Elevate Your Training

If you’re into competitive shooting, you take your training seriously. Daniel Defense® takes their rifles seriously too, so you can count on the M4 to elevate your training and performance. As with any new rifle, you need to build muscle memory so you can operate it without thinking, especially in the heat of a competition. Take it to the range, run your favorite drills, and just get accustomed to this new rifle, so you can count on it at your next competition.

Keep It in Top Shape

Finally, you will need to maintain it. You might want to lubricate your new rifle, ensuring everything is ready to go when you next take it to the range. You will also need to maintain it well after you take it to the range, helping it stay in shooting condition so it can perform when you need it most.

There’s plenty to love about the Daniel Defense® M4A1 RIII, from its fully ambidextrous lower to its cold hammer forged barrel. It’s a serious rifle for serious shooters, and if you’re like most Daniel Defense® rifle owners, you’ll love having this rifle in your collection.
