Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW-NM | 5.56 NATO | 14.50″

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW is a lightweight, fast-handling AR-style rifle built around a 14.50″ hammer-forged barrel and a free-floating MFR handguard. The rifle is listed at 5.90 lbs and ships without a magazine; its extended flash suppressor is pinned and welded to meet the 16″ overall barrel requirement. For a practical optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 or a similar low-power variable optic for fast target acquisition and mid-range accuracy. Typical uses include range training and competition shooting where low weight and modularity are priorities.
