Availability: InStock

The Daniel Defense DDM4 V4S is the 11.5" short-barreled Picatinny quad-rail configuration of the DDM4 line-up. Chambered in 5.56 x 45 NATO, it combines the maximum compactness of an SBR with the universal modularity of the DDM4 Rail 10.0 quad rail. Shipped with its Daniel Defense vertical grip, Santoprene rail panels and hard case, it is immediately operational for the professional user or demanding sport shooter looking for a complete, ready-to-accessorize CQB platform.

The complete-package CQB configuration

The V4S is the quad-rail sister to the V7S : same 11.5" Cold Hammer Forged Government-profile barrel, same carbine-length gas system, same CQB DNA. But where the V7S leans on modern M-LOK (MFR 10.0 handguard), the V4S returns to the universal robustness of the full four-side 1913 Picatinny quad rail with factory-supplied vertical grip. Ideal for users who want a complete SBR platform, with no additional purchase required, and compatible with every Picatinny accessory on the market.
