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 an upper receiver group that combines robust construction with advanced features. Standard uppers 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.
The Daniel Defense V7 upper receiver group is perfect to drop into your complete lower for a quality turn key rifle. This is a complete URG and includes a Daniel Defense bolt carrier group and charging handle.
The DDM4 V7 Upper reflects the evolution of tactical rifle upper receivers; build over a history of discovering what works and what is just bad design. DD is known for no-nonsense, well-designed rifles and tactical components. 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.
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.
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!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
