Black Creek, GA- September 22, 2014- Daniel Defense, engineering and manufacturing the world’s finest firearms, precision rail systems
and accessories, today announced the expansion of their exclusive finishes, Mil Spec+™ and Daniel Defense Tornado™, to additional models.

The Daniel Defense MK12—introduced at SHOT Show this year—with an 18-inch stainless steel barrel and rifle length gas system, is now
being offered in the Daniel Defense Tornado finish. The gray cerakote is not the only visual difference on this Special Purpose Rifle. The
stainless steel, MK12 profile barrel has a bead blasted, chemically passivated finish that resembles the base metal. “We’ve invested a
lot of man hours and capital toward development of the MK12,” noted Jordan Hunter, Director of Marketing for Daniel Defense. “The New
Tornado finish and bead blasted, stainless steel barrel provide this precision firearm with a new appeal.”

“We’re also happy to publicize that the V11 is now available in our new finishes,” Hunter continued. The DDM4v11, which features Daniel
Defense’s SLiM Rail™, their first rail system with the KeyMod attachment method, is available in Mil Spec+, Tornado as well as Black.
“Demand since the release of the V11 has been exceedingly strong. With the encouraging response to these distinct finishes, making them
available on this firearm is a no-brainer.”

Man, love that gray.

[ROTAM]

Nice!!!!!

Here are a couple of better pictures of the top finish, it is dark copper in person. While I like the color, it is darn hard to find things that are similar in color.

Grey will be pretty much the same.

Thanks for the pics! Looks like the Patriot Brown would match pretty well. Gear Sector offers several pieces in that color. I like the darker brown better. I do wish they coated the receiver extension.

Looks great, especially the new brown. Its a much more usable color than tan or bronze for a majority of the climates in the US. Now if I can only get over that hideous furniture...

Shoot it and you'll get over the looks. That's what happened to me, and now I like the looks. It's very functional.

Man, how can you advertise a Mk12 with a Mk12 profile barrel and everything, without an Ops Inc or Allen Engineering brake and collar? For shame.

[Apricotshot]

I'm waiting on the 16 inch LW or gov profile mid lenghth for the mil spec+ or Tornando.

Not to worry. Our MK12 is compatible with the Ops Inc 12th Model.

[caporider]

Is the brown finish similar to the SOCOM FDE color on RIS IIs?

[Marler5811]

Is the brown finish similar to the SOCOM FDE color on RIS IIs?

Yes. It's practically a dead ringer.

Joe, just to clarify, there is presently no Cerakote available to John Q. Public that matches the DD Mil Spec+™

I take it that the Mil Spec+™ is a custom Cerakote product made just for you guys?

I too would like to get the rest of my parts Cerakoted to match, etc.

This is correct. Our Mil Spec+ and Tornado Cerekote finishes are custom made for us. There are commercial colors that come close and I'm working on identifying these so I can let everyone know.

[ptmccain]

That would be great Joe, thanks.

A little off topic, but the Keymod rail looks nice.

[HKGuns]

Yep pretty sure this is what you mean. I've got a picture for everything.......really good article on DD in this months NRA rag.

Those rail covers!

Question for Joe:

Hey, Joe, this Cerakote color looks somewhat close to DD's Mil Spec+ color, what do you think? Or, it may compliment and look ok with it.

I have one. I found that it looks cool for about a week, then it just becomes another tool in the arsenal. :p

I'm also about to get my OD Green Tavor.....

I know what people mean though....everything black can get dull after a while.

[ptmccain]

Obviously the color of a firearm makes no difference at all, but ....

I love the DD Mil Spec + color.

I *almost* bought a butt stock, pistol grip and forward grip to match, but ... I just thought they look ... um ... forgive the political incorrectness...gay.

[Talon167]

I really like that Tornado color, but I've yet to see one in person.

[ptmccain]

I believe Daniel Defense calls the dark earth color: Mil Spec+

I believe "Tornado" is the grey color they have announced recently.

Maybe Joe can clarify.

See for reference:
http://www.gunsandammo.com/first-look/daniel-defense-rifles-now-color-options/

And just to make things more interesting, Midway got a shipment in of the Mil Spec+ butt stock, pistol grip and foregrip in and they called the color....Tornado.

This is correct. "Milspec Plus" is the cerakote in roughly the same bronze color as the RISII rails. "Tornado" is similar to a battleship grey.

Kinda wish I waited a bit instead of purchasing my MK18 - the colors look wicked good.
