Overview
The DDM4 V7 S Upper Receiver Group brings Daniel Defense quality to an 11.5" configuration with their proven MFR M-LOK handguard system. The "S" designation indicates the short barrel length, making this an ideal candidate for SBR builds or AR pistol configurations where compactness is prioritized.
The cold hammer forged 11.5" barrel with Government profile delivers the accuracy and durability Daniel Defense is known for, while the carbine-length gas system ensures reliable cycling. The free-floating MFR (Modular Float Rail) handguard provides M-LOK attachment points at seven positions with an uninterrupted Picatinny top rail, offering excellent modularity at reduced weight compared to quad rail alternatives.
This complete upper ships with Daniel Defense's M16 profile bolt carrier group and the popular GRIP-N-RIP ambidextrous charging handle. An M-LOK vertical grip is included, providing immediate functionality out of the box. The DDM4 V7 S represents excellent value within the DD lineup while maintaining their uncompromising quality standards.
