Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 S SBR 5.56mm NATO 32rd Magazine 11.5" 1/2x28 Threaded Barrel Black NFA Product

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 S is a 5.56mm NATO short-barrel rifle (SBR) built for shooters who need serious capability in a compact package. With an 11.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and carbine-length gas system, this is a purpose-built fighting rifle that balances maneuverability with reliability and accuracy. The V7 S delivers the balance of performance and handling that makes short-barreled AR platforms so valuable for home defense, tactical work, and close-quarters scenarios where a full-size rifle just won't fit.

The heart of this rifle is a mil-spec lower receiver machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with Daniel Defense's enhanced flared magazine well—a feature that matters when you're reloading under pressure. The upper receiver rides on the same tough alloy and feeds reliably thanks to M4 feed ramps. The barrel itself is chrome-moly vanadium steel, cold hammer-forged with a 1:7 twist, chrome-lined, and mil-spec phosphate-coated. It's threaded 1/2x28 for suppressors and muzzle devices, and comes fitted with Daniel Defense's own flash suppressor. The bolt carrier group is M16 profile with a properly staked gas key—exactly what you want when reliability matters.

Ergonomics are dialed in across the board: the MFR 10.0 handguard gives you M-LOK attachment points in seven positions plus an uninterrupted Picatinny rail on top for your optics and accessories. The GRIP-N-RIP charging handle is independently ambi, so it works just as well for southpaws as right-handers. You get Daniel Defense's own buttstock and pistol grip, both molded from glass-filled polymer with soft-touch overmolding for control and comfort. Everything ships in a full-latch impact case, and the whole gun weighs just 5.8 pounds—light enough to handle all day but substantial enough to shoot straight. Made in the USA. Note: This is an NFA-regulated firearm; check your local and state laws before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the DDM4 V7 S barrel threaded for suppressors?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2x28 TPI, which is the standard thread pitch for 5.56mm suppressors and muzzle devices. The rifle ships with a Daniel Defense flash suppressor already installed, and you can swap it for any compatible suppressor or flash hider.

What does SBR mean and do I need a tax stamp?

SBR stands for short-barrel rifle. Any rifle with a barrel shorter than 16 inches is regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA) and requires federal registration and a $200 tax stamp. It is your responsibility to comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding NFA firearms. Check your local and state regulations before purchasing or taking possession of this rifle.

What magazine does it use, and does one come with the rifle?

The DDM4 V7 S uses standard AR-15 magazines and ships with one 32-round Daniel Defense magazine. It is compatible with other mil-spec 5.56mm AR-15 magazines.

Is this rifle set up with sights?

Sights are sold separately. The rifle includes a full-length Picatinny rail on top of the MFR 10.0 handguard, so you can mount any optic or iron sight system you choose. The rear receiver also has a QD swivel attachment point.
