Daniel Defense 0212815049055 | DDM4 V7 SLW | 5.56 14.50″

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW is a purpose-built, California-compliant AR-style rifle that emphasizes reduced weight and fast handling without sacrificing the durability Daniel Defense is known for. It uses a Cold Hammer Forged, lightweight 14.50″ barrel with an extended flash suppressor that is pinned and welded to achieve the federally required 16″ minimum overall barrel length for compliance. The rifle features a free-floating MFR 13.5″ handguard with M-LOK attachment points and an uninterrupted 1913 Picatinny top rail for optics and accessories.

For a capable optic under $1,000 that complements the V7 SLW for general-purpose and close-to-medium engagement work, a 1-6×24 low-power variable optic such as the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 pairs well with this platform.
