The rifle is not anywhere as heavy as it looks. I can tell you all day long that the SLiM Rail is light, but the proof is in the numbers - even sporting a 15-inch SLiM Rail, the Daniel Defense V11 only weighs 6.28 pounds. There are also two QD sling swivel attachment points at the back of the rail at the 10:30 and 1:30 positions. This is a KeyMod handguard, with a continuous MIL-STD 1913 T-marked rail along the top and KeyMod attachment points along the length of the handguard at the 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions. The 15-inch SLiM handguard with KeyMod attachment points also sports QD sockets at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions near the receiver for sling mounting. One of the more distinctive features of the Daniel Defense V11 is the 15-inch SLiM (Slim Lightweight Modular) Rail. The upper receiver features M4 feed ramps. The carrier is chrome-lined with a properly staked gas key, and both the carrier and the bolt are MP tested.

It seems to be at least as effective at reducing flash as the A2. It is salt bath nitride finished, and I like the looks of it. It is constructed of 17-4PH (precipitation hardened) stainless steel, the same steel used to make the Vulcan cannon. The Daniel Defense flash hider is slightly longer than the standard A2. Fat quad rail handguards have become passÃ. While the 15-inch SLiM rail looks nearly as square as a traditional quad rail handguard, it is much lighter. Every rifle Daniel Defense (DD) makes (except their Mk18 series) they refer to as an M4 (hence the DDM4), and they currently make a number of different models. That name admittedly doesn't flow off the tongue, and may be hard to remember, so let's simplify it.

Media drama aside, Daniel Defense has continued to turn out quality rifles, and one of their most recent models is the DDM4 V11. Nothing will garner the love and support of AR fans and politically active gun owners like getting unfairly treated by the mainstream media.

The skeletonized handguard makes it lighter than it looks.ĭaniel Defense has been making quality, dependable rifles for years, but perhaps the incident that has gotten them the most publicity in the history of the company was the NFL refusing to air its TV commercial during the 2013 Super Bowl. The Daniel Defense V11 features a 15-inch handguard, buttstock and pistol grip of DD's own design.
