Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 LW Upper | 5.56 NATO | 16″

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 LW Upper Receiver Group is a purpose-built AR-15 upper that centers on a cold hammer forged 16″ lightweight-profile barrel and an improved DD flash suppressor. It uses a mid-length gas system for smoother cycling and reduced wear, and a free-floating MFR 15.0 M-LOK handguard for weight savings, cooling, and modular accessory attachment. The upper includes an independently ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handle engineered with anti-gas features and ships with an M16 profile bolt carrier group.

Well-suited for precision target work and competitive/precision AR builds, this upper balances reduced weight with a robust accessory platform for optics and attachments.
