The Daniel Defense legacy of crafting quality rifles is comes alive in the DDM4 V7. Merging military-tested reliability with consumer-focused innovation, this rifle is a blend of utilitarian function and refined construction. The mid-length gas system marks a notable advancement, offering smoother operation than traditional carbine systems. The M-LOK rail, a staple in modern sporting rifles, stands out with its ergonomic, smooth, and reliable design. The heart of this rifle is its Cold Hammer Forged (CHF) barrel, a hallmark of Daniel Defense's commitment to quality.
Tactical enthusiasts and professionals often seek a rifle that combines robust construction with advanced features. Standard rifles may lack the nuanced design required for demanding conditions or fail to offer necessary customization. The DDM4 V7 excels in these areas with its modern mid-length gas system, ergonomic M-LOK rail, and superior CHF barrel.
What is different about this model is its finish. Named for the spray paint cans used for field expedient camouflage, Daniel Defense Rattlecan Cerakote is a more durable version of a popular DIY camo. A popular field method of painting weapons and equipment is to spray paint the item through a mesh laundry bag with different colors held at varying distances. This is an easy and effective way to personalize a weapon. Thanks to Cerakote, it will look great after hard use.
The DDM4 V7 reflects the evolution of tactical rifles, build over a history of discovering what works and what is just bad design. DD is known for no-nonsense well designed rifles. Not just the flavor of the day. The heart of this rifle, its Cold Hammer Forged (CHF) barrel, is known for its precision and durability. This process results in a denser, more durable barrel, essential for consistent long-term performance. The mid-length gas system is a critical component, which is based upon design and engineering of improvements over the years, and is now accepted as an improvement over traditional carbine systems. It not only ensures smoother cycling but also plays a pivotal role in reducing felt recoil, making the rifle more comfortable to shoot over extended periods.
Why not try something different? DD brings you Rattle Can, which Charlie's thinks is some of the coolest thinking for a large rifle company. I mean, why not? Totally based.
The M-LOK rail system enhances the rifle's adaptability. This is table stakes for well design rifle, for sure. It allows for a myriad of customization options while ensuring the rifle remains lightweight and balanced. The DD rail design is not just about utility; it provides an ergonomic and secure grip, vital for precision handling in various shooting scenarios. It is stable and feels good in the shooters hands.
DD features the 32-round magazine, which is a small edge over traditional 30 round magazine rifles. This magazine capacity allows for extended use in training or operational scenarios, reducing the need for frequent reloads.
The rifle's ambidextrous design is a nod to the diverse needs of modern shooters. The safety selector and other controls are accessible for both left and right-handed users, making the DDM4 V7 a versatile choice for a wider range of shooters.
The ergonomic design of the Daniel Defense grip and buttstock is a culmination of thoughtful engineering. They provide enhanced comfort and control, which are crucial during prolonged use. This attention to detail in ergonomics underscores Daniel Defense's commitment to the shooter's experience.
The DDM4 V7 is a blend of advanced engineering, thoughtful ergonomics, and tactical versatility, making it an outstanding choice for both professional and recreational shooters.
Ambidextrous GRIP-N-RIP charging handles provide a secure grip and even more flexibility for right- and left-handed shooters. Plus, the handles are designed with an anti-gas feature to keep gas away from your face and provide a better shooting experience.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)

You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
