The Daniel Defense DD4 V7 SLW delivers precision engineering in a lightweight carbine platform optimized for professional and civilian applications. This 5.56 NATO rifle combines proven reliability with advanced manufacturing techniques to create a versatile firearm suitable for tactical operations and sporting use. Built on Daniel Defense's reputation for quality control and attention to detail, the DD4 V7 SLW represents a significant advancement in modern rifle design.
What Makes This Different
The DD4 V7 SLW features Daniel Defense's proprietary MFR (Modular Float Rail) system that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity under stress. Unlike traditional quad-rail systems, this M-LOK compatible handguard weighs 40% less than comparable alternatives while providing superior heat dissipation. The cold hammer-forged barrel undergoes a specialized stress-relief process that enhances accuracy potential and extends service life beyond standard manufacturing methods.
Key Features
- 14.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with government profile and 1:7 twist rate
- MFR M-LOK handguard with integrated sling attachment points and heat shields
- Daniel Defense Superior Suppression Device permanently attached for 16-inch overall length

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision applications beyond typical carbine distances. The optimized gas system cycles reliably with both standard and match-grade ammunition while reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise. Weather sealing at critical junctions maintains function in adverse conditions, from desert heat to arctic cold.
