Colorado-Compliant Configuration – No Magazine Included
This specific configuration of the DDM4 V7 is labeled CO Compliant and is shipped from Daniel Defense with no magazine included. That lets you pair the rifle with your choice of state-compliant magazines (such as 10- or 15-round mags, where required by law) while still enjoying the full DDM4 V7 feature set. tombstonetactical.com+2Impact Guns+2
Key CO-compliant aspects:
Ships without a magazine, giving you flexibility to select compliant mags locally
Same premium barrel, rail, and receiver set as standard DDM4 V7 carbines
Ideal for Colorado residents and other areas where high-capacity mags cannot be shipped with the rifle
Always verify your local and state laws regarding magazine capacity and rifle configuration before purchase or use.
Cold Hammer Forged 16" 5.56x45mm NATO Barrel
At the heart of the DDM4 V7 CO Compliant is a 16" Cold Hammer Forged (CHF) barrel made from chrome moly vanadium steel. Engineered for longevity and precision, this government-profile barrel is chrome lined, phosphate coated, and cut with a 1:7" twist to stabilize the full range of modern 5.56/.223 projectiles. Daniel Defense+1
Barrel highlights:
Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO (compatible with .223 Remington)
Length: 16" government profile
Twist: 1:7" RH for optimal performance with heavier bullets
Construction: Cold hammer forged, chrome lined, HP/MPI tested for durability and consistency Daniel Defense+1
Muzzle threads: 1/2x28 with DD improved flash suppressor to reduce flash signature and help control the muzzle in low-light conditions Daniel Defense+2tombstonetactical.com+2
This barrel and gas system combination is built to run clean, smooth, and accurate for thousands of rounds.
Mid-Length Gas System – Smooth, Reliable Cycling
Daniel Defense equips the DDM4 V7 with a mid-length gas system, widely regarded as a sweet spot for 16" 5.56 carbines. The mid-length system reduces perceived recoil and parts wear compared to carbine-length setups, while promoting consistent cycling with a wide variety of ammunition. Daniel Defense+2Pistol and Pawn+2
Gas system features:
Mid-length, direct impingement operation for smoother recoil impulse
Pinned low-profile gas block machined from 4140 hardened steel and phosphate coated for strength and corrosion resistance Daniel Defense+1
Ideal balance for duty use, home defense, and extended range sessions
Coupled with an H buffer and Mil-Spec M16-profile bolt carrier group, the DDM4 V7 is built for reliability in demanding conditions. Daniel Defense+1
Free-Floating MFR XS 15.0 M-LOK Rail
The DDM4 V7 was the first rifle in the DDM4 lineup to introduce M-LOK attachment technology via the Daniel Defense MFR XS 15.0 rail—a lightweight, free-floating handguard that maximizes modularity and ergonomics. Daniel Defense+2Pistol and Pawn+2
Handguard advantages:
15" free-floating MFR XS rail, CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
M-LOK slots along multiple positions for mounting lights, grips, bipods, and other accessories
Full-length 1913 Picatinny top rail for optics, backup sights, and lasers Daniel Defense+2Gun Deals+2
Slim profile for a comfortable C-clamp or thumb-over-bore grip
Superior cooling, weight savings, and rigidity
Because the rail is free-floating, it doesn’t contact the barrel—helping preserve accuracy by keeping barrel harmonics consistent as you add accessories or load the front of the rifle on barricades. Pistol and Pawn+1
Cerakote Finish & 7075-T6 Receivers
This CO-compliant DDM4 V7 uses Daniel Defense’s proven forged receiver set:
Upper & lower receivers: CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum
Finish: Durable Type III hard coat anodizing topped with Cerakote for extra protection and a premium look Daniel Defense+2tombstonetactical.com+2
The Cerakote finish provides:
Excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance
A low-sheen, tactical appearance
Added durability for hard use, duty carry, and harsh environments
The result is a rifle that looks as good as it performs and stands up to real-world abuse.
6-Position Stock with SoftTouch Overmolding
Comfort and control are critical for fast, accurate shooting, and Daniel Defense addresses both with its proprietary buttstock and pistol grip featuring SoftTouch Overmolding. Daniel Defense+2GrabAGun+2
Furniture features:
6-position Mil-Spec receiver extension (buffer tube) for adjustable length of pull
Daniel Defense buttstock – glass-filled polymer with SoftTouch Overmolding, non-slip cheek weld, interchangeable butt pads, and integrated QD sling attachment points Daniel Defense+1
