The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW – California Compliant edition is engineered for shooters who demand maximum performance with minimum weight. Tipping the scales at under 6 pounds, this rifle is one of the lightest in the DDM4 lineup—making it ideal for fast-paced training, home defense, and field-ready versatility.
Built around a 14.5″ Cold Hammer Forged Lightweight profile barrel, this model features a pinned and welded extended flash suppressor to meet the NFA-required 16″ overall length. The mid-length gas system reduces felt recoil, enhances reliability, and minimizes wear on internal components.
The free-floating MFR 13.5 handguard not only cuts weight but provides excellent heat dissipation and modularity. With M-LOK slots at 7 positions and a full-length 1913 Picatinny top rail, there’s room for optics, lights, lasers, and any mission-critical gear.
This California-compliant configuration uses a specialized rear takedown pin with paracord loop to separate the upper and lower for magazine release, keeping you legal while staying in the fight. The rifle is finished in a durable, non-reflective Deep Woods Green Cerakote, offering both a tactical edge and signature Daniel Defense durability.
