Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 CA Compliant 5.56 NATO 16" Rifle Black

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 CA Compliant delivers precision engineering and reliable performance in a configuration that meets California's strict regulations. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle combines Daniel Defense's proven manufacturing quality with features specifically designed for restricted markets.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard AR-15 platforms, the DDM4 V7 CA Compliant incorporates a fixed magazine system and compliant stock configuration while maintaining the accuracy and reliability Daniel Defense is known for. The cold hammer forged barrel delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy, while the proprietary DDM4 rail system provides 15 inches of uninterrupted Picatinny rail space. Government profile barrel construction ensures durability under high round counts while maintaining practical weight distribution.

Key Features

• 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• DDM4 Rail 15.0 free-floating handguard with M-LOK attachment points
• 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for enhanced grip
• Enhanced trigger guard and pistol grip for improved ergonomics
• Hard coat anodized Type III finish for corrosion resistance
• California compliant fixed magazine configuration with 10-round capacity
• Low profile gas block with pinned gas tube for consistent cycling

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy within 1.5 MOA with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision shooting applications and competitive use. The free-floating barrel design eliminates point-of-impact shifts from accessory mounting or environmental factors. California's challenging regulatory environment requires compromises, but this configuration maintains practical functionality for sport shooting, competition, and approved hunting applications.
