Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 5.56 Carbine, 16" Cobalt

Daniel Defense DDM4 V7: Purpose-Built Performance

The DDM4 V7 represents Daniel Defense's commitment to manufacturing rifles that work when it matters most. This 5.56mm carbine combines proven design principles with meticulous American manufacturing.

Barrel and Gas System

The 16" chrome-moly vanadium barrel features a 1:7 twist rate optimized for a wide range of ammunition weights. Cold hammer-forged construction ensures durability, while the mid-length gas system provides reliable cycling with moderate recoil impulse. A pinned low-profile gas block machined from hardened 4140 steel keeps the platform running smoothly.

Receiver and Controls

Both upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hard-coat anodize for protection. The lower receiver features an enhanced flared magazine well for positive seating and a rear QD swivel attachment point. The charging handle uses a proven GRIP-N-RIP design for positive manipulation under stress.

Handguard and Mounting

The Daniel Defense MFR 15.0 handguard offers M-LOK attachment points for accessories. This aluminum platform is rigid and lightweight, providing a stable platform for optics and tactical gear without unnecessary weight.

Stock and Ergonomics

A six-position adjustable stock and Daniel Defense pistol grip with soft-touch overmolding ensure comfort and control. The H-buffer provides appropriate recoil management for this barrel length.
