The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 CA Compliant AR-15 rifle is a purpose-built 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem platform engineered for shooters who demand both reliability and precision in a mid-length, magazine-fed configuration. Built to California legal standards, this 16-inch cold hammer-forged rifle combines Daniel Defense's reputation for quality American manufacturing with modern ergonomics and modular accessory mounting. Whether you're setting up a home defense rifle, a reliable range gun, or a precision platform you'll fine-tune over time, the V7 delivers the accuracy and controls that make AR-15 shooting intuitive and repeatable.
At the heart of the DDM4 V7 is a cold hammer-forged Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel with a 1:7 twist rate, chrome-lined bore, and mil-spec heavy phosphate coating—proven geometry that balances velocity and accuracy across standard 5.56 loads. The mid-length gas system cycles reliably while reducing perceived recoil and minimizing wear on the bolt carrier group compared to carbine-length alternatives. Daniel Defense's pinned low-profile gas block sits solidly behind the MFR 15.0 handguard, keeping your setup lean and ready for accessories.
Modularity is built in: the MFR 15.0 handguard features M-LOK attachment along seven positions and an uninterrupted Picatinny rail on top, so you can mount lights, lasers, grips, or backup iron sights exactly where you need them. The independently ambi GRIP-N-RIP charging handle works for both left- and right-handed shooters. A Daniel Defense flash suppressor cuts muzzle signature, while the buttstock and pistol grip feature soft-touch polymer for control through extended shooting sessions. Mil-spec receiver construction throughout—CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum with Type III hard anodize—means your rifle will track true and hold zero. Ships with a Daniel Defense impact case and Magpul PMAG 10-round magazine. Made in the USA.
