Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW CA Compliant 5.56 NATO 14.5" 10+1 Black

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW delivers precision engineering in a California-compliant platform designed for serious shooters. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle combines the proven reliability of Daniel Defense manufacturing with state-compliant features that don't compromise performance.

What Makes This Different

The V7 SLW (Slim Light Weight) profile reduces overall weight while maintaining the structural integrity Daniel Defense is known for. The 14.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel provides an optimal balance between velocity and maneuverability, while the pinned and welded muzzle device ensures compliance with federal regulations. This rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition, outperforming many rifles in its class.

Key Features

• Cold hammer forged 14.5-inch barrel with 1:7 twist rate for superior accuracy
• Daniel Defense MFR (Modular Float Rail) 13.0-inch handguard with KeyMod attachment system
• DD Superior Suppression Device pinned and welded for 16+ inch overall length
• 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for enhanced grip
• Daniel Defense pistol grip with integrated trigger guard
• Geissele SSA (Super Semi-Automatic) two-stage trigger
• California-compliant configuration with 10-round magazine capacity

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature extremes and adverse conditions. The free-floating barrel system eliminates point-of-impact shifts from sling tension or support contact. Competition shooters appreciate the crisp trigger break and reset, while the lightweight profile reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The hard coat anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in humid and coastal environments.
