The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW is precisely engineered for operators requiring a lightweight, agile carbine without compromising performance integrity. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, this rifle features a 14.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, a critical component optimized for consistent projectile velocity and extended barrel life. The barrel’s Super Lightweight (SLW) profile significantly reduces the rifle’s overall mass, enhancing handling dynamics and mitigating user fatigue during extended operational periods or dynamic movement. This configuration establishes it as a highly maneuverable platform for diverse applications requiring precision.
Key Features
Barrel & Performance
The 14.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is a cornerstone of the DDM4 V7 SLW’s performance. This manufacturing process densifies the steel, enhancing material integrity and contributing to exceptional durability and consistent projectile trajectory. The Super Lightweight profile reduces overall mass forward of the receiver, optimizing the rifle’s balance and facilitating rapid target transitions and sustained carry without undue strain.
Accessory Integration
A primary utility feature of the DDM4 V7 SLW is its MFR (M-LOK Free-Float Rail) handguard. This robust, lightweight system provides ample mounting surface for a wide array of firearm accessories, including illumination tools, aiming lasers, and vertical grips. The M-LOK interface facilitates direct accessory attachment, maintaining a slim profile and minimizing unnecessary bulk. A full-length Picatinny top rail permits seamless integration of tactical optics, allowing operators to optimize the rifle for specific engagement distances or low-light conditions.
Construction & Durability
Constructed with meticulous focus on operational longevity, the DDM4 V7 SLW utilizes high-quality 7075-T6 aluminum for its upper and lower receivers. These components are finished with a Type III hard coat anodizing, providing superior corrosion resistance and wear mitigation. This rifle is designed for reliable operation across diverse environmental conditions, offering a balanced and adaptable platform for serious users engaged in shooting sports, training, or personal defense applications.
