BLACK CREEK, Ga. — Daniel Defense is announcing the return of its legendary GL/SSC (Grenade Launcher/Sound Suppressor Capable) platform, now available to the commercial market for the first time in both short-barreled rifle (SBR) and pistol caliber configurations.
Originally developed as a hard-use, mission-ready system for US Special Forces, the GL/SSC helped establish Daniel Defense’s reputation as a global leader for purpose-built combat rifles. The GL/SSC is now being reintroduced with modern enhancements for the civilian market while maintaining its proven performance characteristics.
The GL/SSC features a 12.5-inch, cold hammer forged, chrome-lined government-profile barrel paired with a carbine-length gas system, delivering durability and consistent reliability. The platform is chambered in 5.56 NATO and incorporates Daniel Defense’s battle-proven RIS II rail system, offering a free-floating design that preserves barrel harmonics while providing ample space for accessories.
“The GL/SSC represents a significant part of our history,” said Travis Tipps, Brand Manager at Daniel Defense. “Bringing this platform back- now accessible to a broader audience-demonstrates our continued commitment to innovation rooted in proven design.”
Engineered for versatility, the GL/SSC is compatible with suppressors and M203 mounting accessories via its free-float hangar system. The firearm is equipped with a 1:7 twist rate barrel, A2 flash hider and maintains an unloaded weight of approximately 6.2 pounds, with an overall length ranging from 29 to 32.25 inches depending on configuration.
The platform is available in multiple variants, including SBR and braced pistol models, as well as upper receiver groups, allowing users to tailor their setup to mission or personal preference.
