Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Pro 5.56 NATO 18" Heavy Barrel Rifle

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Pro delivers match-grade accuracy with its 18-inch heavy barrel and precision engineering. This 5.56x45mm NATO rifle combines competition-level performance with tactical reliability for serious shooters.

What Makes This Different

The V7 Pro features Daniel Defense's heavy profile barrel that maintains consistent harmonics shot after shot, unlike standard weight barrels that can shift point of impact as they heat up. The integrated muzzle climb mitigator reduces felt recoil by 15-20% compared to standard flash hiders. Daniel Defense's proprietary hard coat anodizing provides superior corrosion resistance, rated for 500+ hours in salt spray testing versus 72 hours for standard mil-spec finishes.

Key Features

• 18-inch heavy profile barrel with 1:7 twist rate for stabilizing heavier projectiles
• Threaded 1/2x28 muzzle with climb mitigator for reduced muzzle rise
• 6-position collapsible stock with SoftTouch overmolding for consistent cheek weld
• Daniel Defense 15-inch M-LOK handguard with full-length top rail
• Geissele SSA two-stage trigger with 4.5-pound pull weight
• Ambidextrous safety selector and magazine release
• 30-round Magpul PMAG included

The heavy barrel profile maintains accuracy during extended shooting sessions, with sub-MOA capability using match ammunition. The longer sight radius improves precision for competitive shooting and long-range applications. Weather-sealed components perform reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F. The M-LOK attachment system accommodates bipods, lights, and other accessories without adding unnecessary weight.
