First Look: Daniel Defense V7 Rifle

January 27, 2016 By Evan Brune

The Daniel Defense V7 is the first rifle in the DDM4 lineup to feature the M-LOKattachment technology with the Daniel Defense MFR XS 15.0 rail. Built around a cold-hammer-forged, 16-inch barrel, the V7 has a DD improved flash suppressor to reduce flash signature.

The mid-length gas system provides smooth and reliable cycling under any condition and reduces both perceived recoil and wear on moving parts. A free-floating MFR XS 15.0 handguard offers weight savings as well as cooling, ergonomics and modularity while maintaining strength and durability.

With the M-LOK attachment points that run along six positions and an uninterrupted 1913 Picatinny rail on top, the Daniel Defense V7 has plenty of room for the sights, optics and accessories the user may require. The rifle is finished off with a Daniel Defense buttstock and pistol grip.
