POTD: Sandstorm by Daniel Defense
Even if a gun is sold out, never to be made again in that style, they can be highly suitable for our Photo Of The Day. In fact, it probably only makes them even more attractive for us to run. Such is the case for the Daniel Defense Limited Series “SANDSTORM”.
In case you missed the details when the rifle was released here’s a quick recap:
“The SANDSTORM M4A1 RIII takes inspiration from our military roots, packing battlefield-tested features into a refined, mission-ready platform. Originally built for a foreign military solicitation, this rifle carries the essence of tactical precision and dependability.
Key Features:
- Leupold Optics: Equipped with dual Leupold optics—the DeltaPoint Pro and the Patrol 6HD 1-6x24—giving you precision, whether up close or at distance.
- Serial-Matched Upper: A nod to its military roots, ensuring complete alignment and reliability between upper and lower components.
- Upgraded Gas Block & Muzzle Device: Featuring the Riflespeed Gas Block and HUXWRX Flash Hider QD for optimal suppression compatibility and smoother recoil management.
- VTAC Sling & Accessories: Comes with the trusted Viking Tactics wide padded sling for ultimate carrying comfort and a quick-detach swivel system for fast transitions.
- Backup Irons: Outfitted with Magpul MBUS Pro sights for when optics aren’t an option, ensuring you’re never without a backup solution.
- Ready for Action: Includes a translucent Lancer L5 AWM magazine, OTIS cleaning kit, and M-LOK rail accessories—everything you need for mission readiness.”

I like what I see and I can understand that the rifle sold out quickly. The mount for the riflescope looks a bit high for my taste, but that’s about it.
