Daniel Defense 0212801219055 DDM4 V7 5.56 NATO 14.5" 11-Round Rifle

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 5.56 NATO 14.5" rifle is a compact, duty-grade platform purpose-built for tactical professionals, law enforcement operators, and serious shooters who require a shorter profile without sacrificing reliability or accuracy. This mid-length upper configuration delivers the dwell characteristics and handling advantages that have made the DDM4 platform an industry standard across federal, state, and local agencies. The 14.5-inch barrel strikes an optimal balance between muzzle velocity retention and maneuverability in close-quarters and vehicle-based operations—critical for specialized units operating in confined spaces.

Daniel Defense's V7 iteration incorporates refined ergonomics, enhanced bolt carrier group geometry, and mil-spec tolerances that ensure sub-3-MOA accuracy and exceptional round-count durability. The 14.5-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel is threaded for suppressors or muzzle devices, enabling sound reduction or recoil management depending on operational requirements. At 10 pounds unloaded, this rifle maintains the lightweight characteristics operators demand while the 11-round magazine capacity (typical for the 5.56 NATO platform in this configuration) provides adequate reserve ammunition for training, qualification, or tactical deployment without bulk. The precision engineering and corrosion-resistant finish ensure performance across extended duty cycles and variable environmental conditions.

Law enforcement agencies, military units, and civilian operators with professional training benefit most from this rifle's inherent accuracy and controllability in fast-target transitions. The compact length—approximately 35 inches overall with the 14.5-inch barrel—makes it ideal for patrol vehicles, breaching operations, and tactical entries where traditional 16-inch carbines prove cumbersome. Compatibility with standard AR-platform optics, lights, and vertical fore-end accessories allows rapid configuration for mission-specific roles. This is a firearms product regulated under federal law; purchasers must comply with all local, state, and federal regulations, including required FFL transfers where applicable.
