The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7, chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, represents a robust and versatile AR-platform rifle engineered for consistent performance and adaptability. This model integrates a 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel with a carbine-length gas system, optimizing reliability and ballistic consistency across various operational parameters. Its configuration addresses California compliance standards, providing a functional solution for restricted environments.
Key Features
Barrel Construction
The 16-inch barrel is cold hammer forged, a manufacturing process that densifies the steel and refines the bore’s concentricity. This methodology significantly enhances barrel longevity and contributes to predictable ballistic trajectories, critical for maintaining accuracy over extended operational cycles.
M-LOK Rail System
Equipped with the Daniel Defense MFR 15.0 M-LOK free-float rail, this system provides a secure and extensive interface for accessory integration. The M-LOK standard permits direct attachment of firearm accessories such as weapon lights, laser aiming modules, vertical grips, and other ancillary equipment, facilitating precise user configuration without unnecessary bulk or weight.
System Reliability
The DDM4 V7 incorporates a carbine-length gas system, tuned to ensure reliable cycling and consistent ejection with standard 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. Component selection adheres to military specifications, emphasizing robust construction and dependable function under diverse operational conditions, thereby mitigating potential malfunctions.
Ergonomics and Control
Proprietary Daniel Defense furniture, including the buttstock and pistol grip, is engineered for enhanced user interface. These components provide a secure, comfortable grip and stable shoulder purchase, optimizing weapon control and mitigating user fatigue during prolonged engagements or training sessions at the shooting range equipment.
Regulatory Compliance
This DDM4 V7 variant is factory-configured to meet California’s specific firearm regulations. This pre-configured status ensures legality within the state, making it a viable personal defense firearm or a precision rifle for recreational use without requiring aftermarket modification.
