Daniel Defense DDM4 V9, 5.56 NATO, 16" Barrel, 32 Round, Black, Rifle The Daniel Defense DDM4 V9 is built for modern shooters who split time between competition, training and defensive use. A long 15 inch picatinny quad rail sits over a 16 inch cold hammer forged barrel, so you can extend your support hand close to the muzzle and drive the rifle precisely between targets without overtravel. This listing is part number 02-145-15175-047, finished in black. It ships with one 32 round DD Magazine and a Daniel Defense vertical grip in a Daniel Defense full-latch impact plastic case. Sights are sold separately. A 16 inch AR-15 with a full 15 inch quad rail for fast, controlled shooting. DDM4 Rail 15.0 Quad Rail The DDM4 Rail 15.0 is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and Type III hard coat anodized. It free floats the barrel and gives you full-length picatinny rails on four sides, which means plenty of space for optics, lights and lasers, and the longest possible sight radius if you run rail-mounted iron sights. Santoprene rail panels, heat resistant to 300 degrees F, cover the rail where you grip it, and the included Daniel Defense vertical grip is glass-filled polymer with soft touch overmolding. 16 Inch Barrel and Mid-Length Gas Daniel Defense hammer forges its barrels in house from chrome moly vanadium steel. Cold hammer forging packs the steel tight around a mandrel, which gives long barrel life and consistent accuracy. Each barrel is chrome lined, Mil-Spec heavy phosphate coated and HP/MPI tested. The V9 barrel is a 16 inch government profile with a 1:7 twist. A mid-length gas system, run through a pinned low profile gas block of hardened 4140 steel, gives the V9 a smoother recoil impulse than carbine gas, so you can shoot fast and still keep your sights on target. The 1/2x28 muzzle wears a Daniel Defense flash suppressor of 17-4 PH stainless steel with a salt bath nitride finish. Receivers, Controls and Furniture The upper and lower receivers are CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and Type III hard coat anodized. The upper has indexing marks and M4 feed ramps, and the lower has an enhanced flared magazine well and a rear QD swivel attachment point. The bolt carrier group is M16 profile, Mil-Spec MP tested and chrome lined, with a properly staked gas key. An H buffer rides in the 6 position Mil-Spec receiver extension. The GRIP-N-RIP charging handle has independent latches on both sides, so left- and right-handed shooters can run the rifle the same way. The Daniel Defense Buttstock and Pistol Grip are glass-filled polymer with soft touch overmolding. Is the DDM4 V9 Right for You? Choose the V9 if you like the feel and accessory options of a picatinny quad rail and want a long handguard for a forward grip. The long rail and mid-length gas also make it a good fit for 3 gun and practical rifle matches, where quick transitions and a stable forward hold matter. If you prefer a slimmer M-LOK rail, look at the DDM4 V7. Browse more Daniel Defense firearms or compare other AR-15 rifles.
