The DDM4 V7 CO Compliant is Daniel Defense's 16-inch AR-15 in 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington compatible, built on a cold hammer-forged 1:7 barrel, gassed at mid-length and wrapped in a free-floating M-LOK handguard. The stock collapses to 32.25 inches and extends to 36, the weight is 6.2 pounds, and the finish is matte black hard coat anodizing with Soft-Touch furniture. The safety selector is ambidextrous and the muzzle is threaded. No magazine ships with the rifle; the listed capacity is 32+1.

New Jersey does not allow rifles for deer, so this is a range and training rifle here, and the configuration follows that: a Picatinny top rail for a red dot or scope, M-LOK slots down the handguard for a light or hand stop, and an adjustable stock that fits shooters of different sizes or a bulky winter layer. The 1:7 twist handles the common 5.56 bullet weights, and since it ships without a magazine you pair it with one allowed where you live.
