The Daniel Defense DDM4V7 LW Upper Receiver Group (brand part number 23-128-02932-047) is built around a cold hammer forged 16-inch Lightweight-profile 5.56 barrel that shaves roughly two ounces off a standard V7 barrel, paired with a DD-improved flash suppressor to cut down flash signature. Daniel Defense runs a mid-length gas system for smooth, reliable cycling and pairs the barrel with a free-floating MFR 15.0 M-LOK handguard that saves weight while adding superior cooling and modularity. The independently ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle is engineered for suppressed fire, redirecting gas up and away from the shooter’s face.
