This Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 in Mil Spec+ is the no-magazine configuration of the V7, chambered in 5.56 NATO (Daniel Defense part no. 02-128-02338-067). It carries the same cold hammer forged 16-inch barrel, mid-length direct impingement gas system and MFR 15.0 M-LOK rail as the standard V7. Daniel Defense adds an improved flash suppressor and an ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle. It suits shooters who already have AR-15 magazines and want the rifle by itself.

Key Specifications

• Caliber is 5.56mm NATO, widely available and easy to shoot.
• The barrel is 16 inches in a government profile, a general-purpose carbine length.
• Twist rate is 1:7, suited to the usual 5.56 bullet weights.
• The gas system is mid-length direct impingement, which the maker says smooths cycling and reduces recoil and wear.
• The handguard is the MFR 15.0 M-LOK rail, with attachment points along the sides and bottom for accessories.
• The GRIP-N-RIP charging handle is independently ambidextrous, so left- and right-handed shooters can work it.
• The muzzle carries a Daniel Defense improved flash suppressor on a 1/2×28 thread.
• The color is Mil Spec+, a Daniel Defense Cerakote color option that differs from the black version.
• This version ships without a magazine, so you supply your own AR-15 magazines, and sights are sold separately.
• It weighs 6.2 pounds and measures 32-1/4 to 35-7/8 inches overall with the muzzle device.
