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

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 CA Compliant delivers precision engineering for shooters in restricted states without compromising on performance. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle features a 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel and California-compliant configuration that maintains the reliability Daniel Defense is known for.

What Makes This Different

The DDM4 V7 incorporates Daniel Defense's proprietary MFR (Modular Float Rail) system, providing 15 inches of uninterrupted M-LOK attachment points while maintaining a lightweight profile. The cold hammer forged barrel delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential, significantly outperforming standard carbine-length systems. The Rattlecan Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional Parkerizing, rated for 3,000+ hours of salt spray testing.

Key Features

• 16-inch cold hammer forged barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• 15-inch MFR M-LOK handguard with continuous top rail for optics mounting
• California-compliant configuration with fixed magazine and compliance features
• 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for enhanced grip
• Rattlecan Cerakote finish in multiple earth tones for durability and concealment
• Daniel Defense Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group with properly staked gas key
• Mid-length gas system for reduced recoil and improved reliability

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision applications up to 600 yards. The mid-length gas system cycles reliably with both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles, while the free-floating barrel maintains zero stability during rapid fire sequences. The MFR handguard remains cool during extended shooting sessions, allowing for sustained accuracy without heat-induced point of impact shifts.
