Daniel Defense 0212802241047 DDM4 V7 5.56 NATO 16" 31-Round AR Rifle

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 5.56 NATO 16" rifle is a purpose-built platform engineered for tactical professionals, law enforcement, and serious civilian shooters who demand reliability under demanding conditions. This mid-length 5.56 NATO carbine combines proven Daniel Defense engineering with a 16-inch barrel optimized for both duty and defensive applications. The DDM4 V7 represents the culmination of Daniel Defense's commitment to manufacturing rifles that perform consistently in high-stress environments where malfunction tolerance is zero.

Built on a free-floating barrel design, the DDM4 V7 delivers inherent accuracy superior to standard direct-impingement carbines while maintaining the reliability operators expect from direct-impingement gas systems. The 16-inch barrel length provides a balance of velocity retention for 5.56 rounds, adequate sight radius, and maneuverability in confined spaces—critical for close-quarters tactical deployments. The rifle ships with one 31-round Magpul PMAG, giving users immediate capability for training or response scenarios. Daniel Defense's proprietary manufacturing standards ensure tight tolerances and consistent performance across repeated fire cycles.

Law enforcement agencies, military units, and defensive-minded civilians integrate the DDM4 V7 into patrol rifles, home-defense setups, and training programs where mission-critical reliability is non-negotiable. The 16-inch configuration meets most state and federal legal requirements while preserving the compact handling characteristics needed in vehicle or building environments. The M-LOK accessory mounting system accommodates lights, lasers, and vertical grips for customization. Users benefit from Daniel Defense's extensive parts ecosystem and the platform's compatibility with standard AR-pattern optics mounts, slings, and aftermarket components. Weighing 4 pounds, the DDM4 V7 provides manageable recoil impulse and platform stability for extended training sessions or duty wear.
