Daniel Defense DDM4V7 — Complete Upper Receiver Group, 16"

Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 5.56 Upper Receiver Group 16in Barrel - Black

Get a genuine Daniel Defense upper build ready to drop onto your lower — the DDM4V7 Complete Upper Receiver Group pairs a cold hammer-forged 16" barrel with real ergonomic and cooling upgrades, giving you a proven, ready-to-run upper without sourcing components individually.

At the core of this build is a cold hammer-forged 16" Government profile barrel with a 1:7 twist, chambered for 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington and finished with a Daniel Defense improved flash suppressor to genuinely cut down flash signature. A mid-length gas system delivers smoother cycling and reduces wear on moving parts compared to a carbine-length system, contributing to real long-term reliability under regular use.

The free-floating MFR XS 15.0 handguard is where this upper really stands out — it delivers genuine weight savings along with superior cooling, ergonomics, and modularity, without sacrificing the strength and durability Daniel Defense builds are known for. M-LOK attachment points run along 7 positions around the handguard, and an uninterrupted 1913 Picatinny rail on top gives you plenty of real estate for sights, optics, and other accessories, all without needing separate rail sections bolted on.

Whether you're building a genuinely capable 16" 5.56 rifle from a stripped lower up, upgrading an aging upper to Daniel Defense's proven quality, or want the handguard's real cooling and ergonomic advantages for extended range sessions, the DDM4V7 gives you a complete, ready-to-assemble upper backed by DD's reputation for reliability.
