The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO (brand part no. 02-128-15049-047) is one of the lightest, fastest-handling rifles in the DDM4 lineup, tipping the scales at under 6 pounds around a cold hammer-forged 14.5-inch lightweight-profile barrel. Daniel Defense fits an Extended Flash Suppressor pinned and welded to reach the NFA-required 16-inch minimum barrel length, and wraps the barrel in a free-floating MFR 13.5 handguard for superior cooling and weight savings. The handguard runs M-LOK attachment points along seven positions under an uninterrupted top Picatinny rail, finished in black phosphate with a 6-position stock featuring SoftTouch overmolding. The rifle ships with a 32-round magazine, classified by the ATF as a Modern Sporting Rifle. Among AR-platform rifles in the AR rifles category, the DDM4 V7 SLW favors shooters who want the lightest possible Daniel Defense build.
