Daniel Defense DDM4 M4A1 Rifle, 5.56 NATO, Mil-Spec+, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DDM4 M4A1 Rifle in Mil-Spec+, part number 02-088-15126-067, is a semi-automatic 5.56 NATO rifle with a 14.5″ cold hammer forged M4 profile barrel, a pinned and welded Daniel Defense flash suppressor and the RIS II quad rail, supplied without a magazine.

Daniel Defense assigns this separate part number for customers in jurisdictions where magazine capacity is capped. The rifle is supplied with no magazine and the dealer at the far end provides one that fits the local rules. Not in that position? The standard Mil-Spec+ M4A1 is the same rifle.

Before you order: check your capacity limit

Magazine capacity is a matter of state and sometimes municipal law, and it is amended more often than people expect, so confirm the current rules for your own area first. With that settled, 817-393-4000 gets you to someone who can pick a suitable magazine. Treat nothing here as legal guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Mil-Spec+ part of the name?

A: Mil-Spec+ is the Daniel Defense Cerakote finish option offered on the M4A1, an alternative to the standard black and FDE builds. Mechanically the rifle is unchanged: same 14.5″ M4 profile barrel, same carbine gas system, same RIS II quad rail.

Q: Why does this SKU come without a magazine?

A: Because magazine capacity is restricted in a number of states and localities. Daniel Defense builds a dedicated no-magazine part number so the rifle can be shipped into those areas, with a compliant magazine supplied by the delivering dealer instead.

Q: Is a tax stamp needed for the 14.5″ barrel?

A: No. The flash suppressor is pinned and welded, permanently bringing barrel length to the 16-inch rifle minimum, so this is not a short-barrelled rifle. Like any rifle it still has to be transferred through a licensed FFL.

Q: What does it weigh, and how long is it?

A: 6.74 lbs bare, and 31 1/2″ to 34 3/4″ overall with the muzzle device fitted, depending on stock position. Add your own optic, light, sling and magazine on top of that when you are estimating carry weight.

Q: Which magazines work with it?

A: The magazine well is the same as the standard M4A1, so magazine choice is not limited by the rifle. Your jurisdiction decides the capacity you can own, so confirm that yourself and then call 817-393-4000 and we will suggest something appropriate.

Q: Do I need an FFL to buy it?

A: Yes, this is a rifle and transfer must go through a licensed FFL. Western Sport is a licensed FFL/SOT dealer in Roanoke, Texas, and can either transfer the rifle to you here or ship it to a dealer nearer to you. Call 817-393-4000.
