Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Pro 5.56 NATO 18" Rifle

The Competitor's Choice

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Pro is purpose-built for shooters who demand performance in multi-gun competition. This rifle combines precision engineering with practical ergonomics to help you run faster stages and hit harder targets.

Barrel and Gas System

The 18" cold hammer-forged barrel features a 1:7" twist rate optimized for modern 5.56 NATO ammunition. A rifle-length gas system delivers smooth, reliable cycling under any condition—whether you're pushing hard through a stage or managing recoil for faster follow-up shots. The Gen II Muzzle Climb Mitigator redirects propellant gases through calibrated ports to counter both recoil and muzzle climb, keeping your sights on target.

Rail and Accessory Mounting

The 15" M-Lok rail provides exceptional real estate for mounting lights, lasers, and other accessories while maintaining superior cooling ergonomics. An uninterrupted Picatinny rail on top allows maximum sight radius for rail-mounted iron sights or optics. M-Lok attachment points throughout ensure you can configure this rifle exactly as you need it.

Trigger and Controls

A Geissele Automatics Super Dynamic 3 Gun trigger delivers the light, short pull and quick reset that competitive shooters demand. The independently ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle accommodates both left- and right-handed shooters with a larger latch for easier manipulation under magnified optics.

Receivers and Ergonomics

CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum receivers provide durability and precision. An enhanced flared magazine well speeds reloads, while a rear receiver QD swivel attachment point offers mounting flexibility. The Daniel Defense buttstock and pistol grip feature soft-touch overmolding for control and comfort during extended shooting sessions.

Finish and Specifications

The distinctive Rattlecan finish blends Daniel Defense's proprietary Tornado pattern with Mil Spec + Cerakote for a durable, field-proven appearance. Overall length is 34.75" with a weight of 7.4 lbs. Ships with a 32-round magazine.

Built for competitors who refuse to compromise.
