Key features and materials

Reliable gas and receiver system

The DDM4 V7 uses a direct-impingement system with a low-profile gas block CNC machined from 4140 hardened steel and treated with a Mil-Spec heavy phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. Upper and lower receivers are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a hard coat anodize, preserving strength under sustained use.

Control and ergonomics

Daniel Defense includes a rugged pistol grip with integral trigger guard and soft-touch overmolding for repeatable hand placement. The AR pistol receiver extension and SB-Tactical SOB brace improve cheek weld and control when shooting rapid strings from compressed stances. An enhanced flared magazine well and a QD swivel attachment point speed reloads and sling attachment.

Ballistics and tactical applications

.300 Blackout shines in short-barrel platforms: it delivers effective terminal performance with supersonic loads and excellent suppressed performance with subsonic ammunition. The 5/8×24 TPI muzzle with a Daniel Defense flash hider provides a standard mounting thread for brakes or suppressor mounts and helps manage flash signature on short barrels.
