Name: Assault Rifle DANIEL DEFENSE DDM4 V7 PRO AR-15 - 5.56X45 NATO 18"
Brand: DANIEL DEFENSE
Availability: InStock

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Pro is the competition-oriented variant of the DDM4 platform, engineered to dominate podiums in multi-gun matches (3-Gun, PRS Gas Gun, dynamic long-range). Built around an 18" S2W Cold Hammer Forged barrel, it combines precision, speed and control thanks to its Geissele Super Dynamic 3-Gun trigger, MFR 15.0 M-LOK handguard and Muzzle Climb Mitigator Gen II. Three premium finishes : anodized Black, FDE Cerakote and Cobalt Cerakote.

The competition configuration by excellence

Where the DDM4 V7 is a versatile all-rounder and the V7S is a CQB carbine, the V7 Pro pushes the platform toward long-range precision and stage-speed engagement. The 18" S2W (Strength 2 Weight) proprietary heavy profile delivers maximum stiffness without excess muzzle weight, ensuring consistent velocity and tight groups beyond 300 meters. The Geissele SD-3G trigger is today’s world reference for 3-Gun.
