Daniel Defense Rankin Industries V7S Pistol with Law Tactical Folder

Product Description

The Daniel Defense Rankin Industries V7S Pistol with Law Tactical Folder is a 5.56 NATO combat pistol built for serious shooters. Western Sport’s Rankin Industries custom shop hand-assembles this firearm on a Daniel Defense V7 receiver set with extended feed ramps. Every component meets Daniel Defense’s factory quality standards before it ships to you.

This configuration pairs a 10.3″ cold hammer-forged barrel with a pistol-length gas system for reliable, fast-cycling performance. The Daniel Defense RIS III 9.5″ free-float M-LOK handguard uses a patented 6-bolt Bolt-Up System to lock your optics and accessories in place with a repeatable zero. An SB Tactical SBA3 adjustable stabilizing brace rounds out the setup for control and comfort.

Additionally, the Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter lets you fold the brace and receiver extension to the side. Therefore, storage, transport, and vehicle carry become genuinely practical. This is a pistol that works as hard as you do.

Specifications

This pistol ships from the factory with an SB Tactical pistol stabilizing brace attached to a pistol-length receiver extension, configured as a firearm — not a rifle. A 2024 federal court ruling vacated ATF’s 2023 rule that reclassified braced pistols as Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs), and the government dropped its appeal of that ruling in 2025. As a result, a stabilizing brace alone no longer causes a pistol to be treated as an SBR under the National Firearms Act (NFA). As of 2026, ATF has proposed formally removing the old ‘redesigned to be fired from the shoulder’ factoring criteria, with public comments open through August 4, 2026. As configured and shipped, this pistol requires no NFA registration or tax stamp — only the standard ATF Form 4473 background check at transfer. Permanently configuring this firearm with a shoulder stock, however, would create an SBR requiring an approved ATF Form 1 before modification. Western Sport cannot advise on individual compliance — buyers are responsible for following all applicable federal and state law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What ammunition performs best in the 5.56 NATO chamber?

A: Both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington fire reliably through this pistol. However, 5.56 NATO is the preferred round for military-spec barrels and delivers optimal velocity in a 10.3″ platform. Quality brass-cased ammunition from reputable manufacturers ensures consistent accuracy and reliability.

Q: What optics and accessories mount to the M-LOK handguard?

A: The Daniel Defense RIS III M-LOK rail accepts any M-LOK-compatible optic mount, light, vertical grip, or sling attachment. Red dots, magnifiers, tactical lights, and quality slings all integrate seamlessly. The 6-bolt Bolt-Up System ensures your accessories stay zeroed shot after shot.

Q: How does the Law Tactical Folding Adapter improve this pistol’s usability?

A: The Law Tactical Folder collapses the stabilizing brace and receiver extension 90 degrees to the side. Therefore, the pistol fits easily into compact bags, vehicle storage, and tight spaces. You maintain full shooting capability—just unfold before use.

Q: What comes in the box, and what warranty coverage applies?

A: Your pistol ships fully assembled with the SBA3 brace, folding adapter, and all original Daniel Defense documentation. Daniel Defense stands behind every firearm with comprehensive warranty coverage. Contact Western Sport for detailed warranty terms and registration information.

Q: What is the RIS III rail system on this pistol?

A: The RIS III is Daniel Defense’s next-generation free-float handguard. It uses a patented 6-bolt Bolt-Up System for a more secure, repeatable zero than older quad-rail designs. Furthermore, M-LOK slots run along the rail for mounting lights, lasers, and grips.

Q: Will I need to file ATF paperwork or pay a tax stamp for this pistol’s brace?

A: No. As configured and shipped, this is a pistol with a stabilizing brace — not a Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR). ATF’s 2023 rule treating braced pistols as SBRs was vacated by federal courts in 2024, and the government dropped its appeal in 2025. Only the standard ATF Form 4473 background check applies at transfer, the same as for any other pistol.

Q: What does the Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter do on this pistol?

A: This pistol includes a Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter, which lets the receiver extension and stabilizing brace fold to the side of the receiver for compact storage and transport. A single button releases the fold, and the mechanism automatically locks back into place once unfolded. Folding does not change the barrel length, configuration, or NFA status of the firearm.
