The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Rifle in FDE is a 5.56 NATO carbine from Daniel Defense built around a Cold Hammer Forged 16-inch barrel (Daniel Defense part no. 02-128-10290-047). A mid-length gas system, a flash suppressor and the MFR 15.0 M-LOK handguard define the rifle, and an uninterrupted Picatinny rail on top leaves room for sights and optics. The independently ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle works for left- and right-handed shooters. It is a general-purpose AR-15 for range days, training classes and home defense, and it ships with a DD Magazine plus the Daniel Defense buttstock and pistol grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include sights? No. Sights are sold separately, but the uninterrupted 1913 Picatinny rail on top has room for iron sights or an optic.

Can I change the muzzle device? Yes. The flash suppressor sits on a 1/2×28 thread, which is the standard AR-15 muzzle thread, so aftermarket muzzle devices fit.

What handguard does the V7 use? It uses Daniel Defense’s MFR 15.0 rail with M-LOK attachment points and a Type III hard coat anodized finish.
