Editor’s Note: "Daniel Defense delivers a reliable, accurate AR-15 in the DDM4 V7 with enough extras to keep 5.56 fans interested. Though the pistol grip’s ergonomics are less than ideal, this rifle more than makes up for that with QD mounts, a threaded barrel, and an improved muzzle brake." - John C.

By The Numbers

Accuracy
The V7 preferred heavier loads, with better results on paper with 69-grain Federal ammo.
Reliability
The DDM4 V7 ran well with zero issues. In short, it runs and runs well.
Customization
Threaded barrel, M-LOK, and a rail up top — it’s got plenty to offer.
Ergonomics
The angled pistol grip proved problematic. Whether that’s because I’ve developed carpal tunnel from video game playing or because the angle is a bit too much is anyone’s guess.

FINAL VERDICT

"We only have 1,000 rounds or so through this rifle, but the fact that our older DD is still kicking after a decade is a testament to this brand’s longevity. If you got spare cash to drop on a top-of-the-line rifle that will gobble up rounds, the DDM4 V7 has our seal of approval. It’s an incredibly solid, high-performing AR-15." - John C.
