You’ve probably heard that Daniel Defense generally puts out top-shelf rifles and accessories.

While industry accolades and name recognition are impressive, it doesn’t mean that newer generations hold up to the same hype.

So the obvious question is, do modern Daniel Defense ARs stack up against older versions?

Well, I’ve got the company’s flagship DDM4 V7 rifle in hand to determine if it’s worth that Gucci level sticker price.

Daniel Defense DDM4V7 Forend — Outfitted with M-LOK and an okay-ish muzzle brake.

Equipped with our favorite mid-length gas system, the V7 spices up the classic AR build with a few extras. Add-ons include an improved flash suppressor, angled pistol grip, and Grip-N-Rip Charging handle.

At its core, the V7 aims its sights squarely on top tier consumers who want more than just a run-of-the-mill AR. (And the dollar bills to throw at a first-class build.)

BARRELS, RECEIVERS, AND AMBI FEATURES, OH MY!

This barrel comes topped with a 15-inch M-LOK MFR handguard. Carrying a full array of M-LOK slots, there’s plenty of room for accessories.

Not to mention, there’s a Picatinny rail up top for optics. The gun came with a fixed set of DD iron sights. They’re not foldable, but they don’t get in the way even with an optic mounted

Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 Picatinny Rail — The rail has plenty of room for both iron sights and a red dot.

The handguard brings along two separate QD sling mounts–a standard position sitting forward of the receiver and the other angled higher. These locations address the ever-present problem of support hand entanglement.

Daniel Defense DDM4V7 Picatinny — Peep that QD mount.

The barrel sports a DD enhanced flash suppressor. I prefer my muzzle brakes a tad more aggressive than what’s offered here.

That said, flash reduction is pretty noticeable. I took the V7 out on a recent night shoot, and it did well.
