Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 5.56 NATO 16" Colorado Compliant Rifle

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Colorado Compliant delivers precision engineering and reliable performance in a configuration that meets Colorado's regulatory requirements. This 5.56x45mm NATO chambered rifle features Daniel Defense's proven cold hammer forged barrel and their signature rail system for maximum versatility.

What Makes This Different

The DDM4 V7 stands apart with its free-floating M-LOK handguard that provides superior accuracy compared to standard carbine-length systems. Daniel Defense's proprietary barrel extension and bolt carrier group deliver consistent lockup and enhanced reliability. The Cerakote finish offers corrosion resistance that exceeds standard phosphate coatings by 300%, while the 6-position stock with SoftTouch overmolding reduces felt recoil and improves control during rapid fire.

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision shooting applications, competitive use, and hunting scenarios. The free-floating barrel maintains zero even when accessories are mounted or removed from the handguard. Weather sealing at critical junctions ensures reliable function in adverse conditions from -40°F to 140°F operating temperatures.
