The Daniel Defense DDM4V1 is a California-compliant semi-automatic rifle built around a cold hammer forged 16-inch M4-profile barrel. Chambered for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, it uses a carbine-length direct-impingement gas system and a chrome-lined, phosphate-coated Chrome Moly Vanadium barrel with a 1:7 twist. The rifle features a 12-inch DDM4 Rail with front sight base cutout, fixed Daniel Defense iron sights, a collapsible stock, and a comfortable glass-filled polymer pistol grip.
