The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 is a 5.56 NATO AR-15 style rifle built around a 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel and the MFR 15.0 M-LOK handguard (Daniel Defense part no. 02-128-02081-047). Daniel Defense pairs a mid-length direct impingement gas system with its flash suppressor, an ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle and an ambidextrous safety selector. M-LOK slots run along seven positions of the handguard, and an uninterrupted 1913 Picatinny rail on top leaves room for optics. It is a well-equipped carbine for home defense, range work and general-purpose use.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 5.56mm NATO, the standard rifle cartridge for AR-15 platforms.
