Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW Rifle, 5.56 NATO, No Magazine

Product Description

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 SLW Rifle, part number 02-128-15049-067, is a semi-automatic 5.56 NATO rifle with a 14.5″ cold hammer forged Lightweight profile barrel, a pinned and welded extended flash suppressor and the free floating MFR 13.5 M-LOK rail, supplied without a magazine.

The no-magazine part number is there because magazine capacity is restricted in a number of states and localities; leaving the magazine out lets the rifle ship, and a compliant magazine is fitted at the delivery end. If that does not apply where you are, the standard V7 SLW is the same rifle in its standard magazine configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is this V7 SLW listed without a magazine?

A: Daniel Defense builds a dedicated no-magazine part number so the rifle can be supplied into states and localities that restrict magazine capacity. The rifle itself is unchanged; a magazine meeting the local limit is provided at the delivery end rather than shipped with it.

Q: Is the 14.5″ barrel an NFA issue?

A: No. The Extended Flash Suppressor is pinned and welded to reach the NFA required 16 inch minimum, so the SLW is a standard Title I rifle with no tax stamp needed. It still transfers through a licensed FFL like any rifle.

Q: How light is the SLW really?

A: 5.9 lbs bare, which makes it one of the lightest rifles in the DDM4 line, and 31 1/2″ to 34 3/4″ overall with the muzzle device depending on stock position. The Lightweight profile barrel and MFR 13.5 handguard are where the savings come from.

Q: What is the trade-off with a Lightweight profile barrel?

A: Less weight in the hands and faster handling, but a thinner barrel heats up sooner than a Government or heavy profile and will shift point of impact during long strings. For patrol, defensive and general use that is rarely a limitation.

Q: Which magazine should I pair with it?

A: Anything that fits the standard V7 SLW fits this part number, since the magazine well is unchanged. What differs is the capacity you are allowed, so confirm your local rules and then call 817-393-4000 and we will suggest something compliant.

Q: Can I transfer it through my own dealer?

A: Yes. This is a rifle, so it has to go to a licensed FFL, and we are happy to ship to the dealer you prefer, or transfer it here in Roanoke, Texas. Call 817-393-4000 with the dealer details to start.
