The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW delivers premium performance in a Colorado-compliant configuration, combining the company's proven MFR rail system with a pinned and welded muzzle device to achieve legal compliance. This semi-automatic rifle features a cold hammer-forged barrel and enhanced bolt carrier group for consistent accuracy and reliability.
What Makes This Different
The V7 SLW (Slim Lightweight) configuration reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity through strategic material placement and advanced manufacturing techniques. The 14.5-inch barrel with permanently attached muzzle device achieves the required 16-inch overall barrel length for legal compliance without sacrificing maneuverability. Daniel Defense's proprietary Modular Float Rail (MFR) extends 12 inches, providing ample mounting space while remaining lighter than traditional quad-rail systems.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 14.5-inch barrel with government profile and 1:7 twist rate
- MFR 12.0 handguard with M-LOK attachment points and continuous top rail
- Enhanced bolt carrier group with properly staked gas key
- 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for improved grip

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, while the enhanced bolt carrier group cycles reliably with various loads from 55-grain to 77-grain projectiles. The MFR rail system maintains zero retention under thermal stress and provides a stable platform for optics and accessories. Law enforcement agencies report excellent performance in adverse weather conditions, with the hard coat anodizing resisting wear and corrosion.
