Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 | 5.56 NATO | 16″ | 10+1 | 0212802267055

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 is a CA-compliant, semi-automatic AR-style rifle built around a cold hammer-forged 16″ barrel and a mid-length gas system for smooth cycling and reduced perceived recoil. It features a free-floating MFR XS 15.0 handguard with M-LOK attachment points and an uninterrupted 1913 top rail for optics and backup sights. The rifle ships in Daniel Defense’s hybrid Rattlecan Cerakote finish and uses a 6-position stock with SoftTouch overmolding for repeatable ergonomics. A capable, affordable optic that pairs well with this platform is the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24, which balances close-quarters speed with low-power precision and falls well under $1,000.
