The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW 5.56 14.5″ CA AR-15 Rifle is engineered as a lightweight, adaptable platform, purpose-built for consistent operational performance across various applications. This California-compliant model maintains Daniel Defense’s established standards for robust construction and meticulous component integration, offering a precise instrument for sport shooting, training, and personal defense.
Key Features
Barrel System: Precision & Maneuverability
The DDM4 V7 SLW incorporates a 14.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, featuring Daniel Defense’s Super Lightweight (SLW) profile. This design significantly reduces overall mass forward of the receiver, enhancing the rifle’s maneuverability and enabling rapid target acquisition and transition. The barrel’s cold hammer forging process contributes to its inherent durability and consistent bore concentricity, critical for precise projectile stabilization. A muzzle device is permanently pinned and welded, ensuring federal compliance for barrel length requirements while maintaining the weapon’s operational integrity.
M-LOK Rail Integration
The rifle is equipped with a slim, free-float M-LOK handguard. This interface system facilitates direct attachment of M-LOK compatible accessories, offering a secure and low-profile solution for optics, lights, and other mission-essential equipment. The free-float design mitigates barrel harmonics interference from external pressure, contributing to consistent shot placement.
Compliance Engineering
This DDM4 V7 SLW variant is specifically configured to meet California state regulations without compromising the rifle’s core functionality or reliability. This engineering ensures accessibility for compliant markets, providing a high-performance AR platform within regulatory parameters.
