Daniel Defense DDM4 V9 5.56 NATO 16" Rifle 32rd - Crocodile

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V9 delivers mil-spec reliability in a lightweight platform optimized for versatility across multiple shooting disciplines. This 5.56 NATO rifle combines the company's cold hammer forged barrel with their signature MFR rail system for enhanced accuracy and modularity.

What Makes This Different

The DDM4 V9 features Daniel Defense's proprietary MFR (Modular Float Rail) handguard that extends nearly to the muzzle, providing maximum mounting real estate while maintaining a slim profile. The cold hammer forged barrel undergoes a specialized stress-relief process that consistently delivers sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition. Unlike standard carbine-length gas systems, the mid-length configuration reduces felt recoil and improves reliability.

Key Features

• Cold hammer forged 16" barrel with 1:7 twist rate for optimal bullet stabilization
• MFR 15.0 handguard with M-LOK attachment points and full-length top rail
• Mid-length gas system with low-profile gas block for enhanced reliability
• Daniel Defense furniture including Grip-N-Rip charging handle
• Mil-spec trigger group with crisp 6-7 pound pull weight
• 6-position collapsible stock with comfortable cheek weld
• Ships with 32-round Magpul PMAG magazine

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1-2 MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition, while the rifle maintains reliable function through thousands of rounds without cleaning. The mid-length gas system provides smooth cycling with both 55-grain and 77-grain loads, making it suitable for competition shooting, tactical applications, and hunting medium game within appropriate ranges.
