Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW 5.56 NATO 14.5" Deep Woods Green

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW combines the precision manufacturing Daniel Defense is known for with a lightweight profile optimized for tactical applications. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle features a 14.5-inch government profile barrel with a pinned and welded muzzle device to achieve the legal 16-inch overall barrel length.

What Makes This Different

The SLW (Super Light Weight) configuration reduces overall weight by approximately 8 ounces compared to standard DDM4 models while maintaining the same rigorous quality standards. The Deep Woods Green Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces glare in outdoor environments. Daniel Defense's proprietary MFR (Modular Float Rail) system offers M-LOK compatibility at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions while maintaining a slim profile that enhances handling characteristics.

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, while the mid-length gas system provides reliable cycling across various loads and environmental conditions. The 14.5-inch barrel length offers an optimal balance between velocity retention and maneuverability for close-quarters applications. The rifle functions reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F and maintains zero retention through repeated thermal cycling.
