Thanks for this video. Being new to Rifles I’ve used this video as a guide to setting up my new Daniel Defense. One expensive hobby. Best AR set up I’ve found on KZfaq so far! Good stuff bro.

Excellent choice. I have the same one in rattlecan finish. Like you said, it's probably one of the nicest ARs out of the box.

The best rifle I've ever used. Hands down. People need to quit bitching about the price. You get what you pay for.

I love your setup based off the video you posted I went out and purchased the DDM4 V7 too along with the 3x magnifier and halo sight. I did make a few modifications to my build compared to yours. The first mod I did instead of spending $200 to upgrade the trigger on the DDM4 V7. I purchased the DDM4 V7 "Pro" which was only $200 more than the DDM4 V7 with the pro version you automatically get an upgraded trigger in addition to an upgraded heavier barrel, your barrel length increases from 16 to 18 inches. You also get an upgraded barrel compensator and a full gas system. My final mod was to add offset 45 degree hard sights instead of having the sights mounted on top of the gun. I used offset sights in case something happened to the glass of my halo sight and it would prevent me from using my rear sight

Just picked mine up 2 days ago. I put on the VG6 Epsilon break with the cage as I know it works. Have it on another gun. I went with the Sig Romeo5 and Juliet3 red dot and magnifier. Got a deal on the gun and red dot. Like $450.00 off if I bought it all together. Took it to the range yesterday and had to bring the red dot down 3 clicks and it’s spot on now. I heard the DD flash hider works good but I had an extra VG6 from another build that I sold before I put it on, so it had to go on this. Flat shooting with very accurate double taps. I had an extra Streamlight Strion and a mount that I stuck on it but I like your set up better. Might have to look into it. I kept the fore grip and the way I have my light set, I can reach the light button with my thumb so it works. Gonna have to see what Olight has going on with a wired on/off switch as those lights are fantastic. Thanks for posting. I might have some video footage by late this evening myself.

Its almost the best rifle ever. You need to do the following: Geissele Trigger Super Dynamic Combat, Geissele H2 Buffer and Super 42 Spring, Geissele Ultra Duty aluminum trigger guard, Geissele takedown pins and mag release, remove the grip and replace with a grippy and better angled magpul one, radian talon 45 degree aluminum safeties, upgraded bolt catch/release, upgraded charging handle (Radian or Geissele), and the B5 sopmop stock. ...oh and before i forget, remove the flash hider and install the Surefire Warcomp (add rocksett). That should all come to around 1k. You already have awesome optics, i do prefer the Vortex Solar or Aimpoint MicroT2 along with a scalarworks mount. Also, the magpul iron sights are a bit lower profile and pretty awesome. Enjoy in good health!

You really helped me out on deciding which trigger and iron sights to get. Greatly appreciated!

Just order my first FA ever and it happens to be a DDM4V7P. Your video is exactly what I needed to figure out what I will be doing. I appreciate the work you are showing here. I know this is an older video, but would you mind listing all the components in your description?

Love my DDM4V7👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Radian Weapons Talon for ambi safety selector. Smooth, positive click, 69/90 throw and just works.

Thanks for the Vid , I just won a bid for a 300 AAC. I want the same setup.

Hi, can you list the accessories models that you install and prices? Thanks

Picked one up in the Rattle Can finish, and absolutely love the damn thing. Haha.

Nice gun! Love the up grades and add ons you did.

I'm not sure if you found a solution to the beard hair problem, but I recommend getting some specialised tape to wrap the rubberized part that is bothering you. Hockey stick tape is probably the best option.

Radian Talon 45• safety. It’s the bees knees.

Love your setup. i have the ddm4v7lw upper on a bcm lower with a flat 3lb Velocity trigger. sweeeet gun. i have the vertical dd forgrip and that helps with he heat. It gets warm, but is still top of the line. I love my ddm4v7lw.

Wow, I have the same optic, magnifier, and iron sights on my DDM4 V7. Great video.

So, the rubber doesn’t pull my beard hair at all. I can rub it all day and it doesn’t bother me a bit. It’s where the stock meets the buffer tube that wiggles back and forth that grabs my beard hair. Just like the keltec sub 2000. I had to change the trigger cause it sucked. The dd magazine can get stuck in there if you smack the bottom of the mag . Dd calls it over insertion. I’ve talked with them about it. That can get you killed if you ever needed it. They said just run pmags. Also the buffer spring is very loud and annoying. Wish I knew what to change it out with. Over all it’s a great rifle though once you change everything about it lol. The dd mag does not stick in any other rifle no matter how hard I tap the bottom. Also the recoil for some reason is very tough for 556 I mean it’s not terrible. We are talking 556 but I don’t understand why it kinda beats my shoulder up. It’s a mid length gas system that is supposed to make it better.

That lamb is awesome!! Great gun too lol

Anyone know what happened to this guy. He got a nice rifle and just disappeared?

2:52 dude your dog looks funny

I don't know if it's both because we're from the northwest but it's odd when this came up in my recommended because it's exactly what I just built🤔

I just picked up the lw, I hope it doesnt suck too bad lol

Clean and simple. Love it. Nice gun bro. I love my v7.

I dig this setup. Awesome rifle!

1800 $ ar15 should come with better trigger 8lbs. I bought a AR15 MC6 BRACE BUILT RIFLE CAME WITH 3.5 IB TRIGGER. RIFLE 1400$

I absolutely love mine stock I put a holoson green dot on it at 75 yards hit every time love it no heat trouble what so ever

GUNS. DOGS AND GOATS. CAN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. NICE VIDEO.

Wonderful setup brother. 👍🏻

Just a tip might wanna oil the buffer spring so you get a nice smooth and sounding pull. Good vid hard to find videos on this specific rifle

Very nice! However, I have a DDM4V7 as well, but the best rifle ever is my Radian Model 1 that I upgraded with a Proof Research carbon fiber barrel topped off with a Nightforce ATACR 1-8.

i really like mine and i got the 10.5 barrel, will worth the money

Oh an apologies where did you get your Velocity trigger please?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response

Hello. Excellent an informative video. Where did you get your whole Surefire setup, if you don’t mind me asking?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response

Can you possibly list all of your upgrades and add a link???

Nice rifle! really enjoyed Ollie as well

Nice! I have a DDM4 SBR (300 BO), a DDM4V7p (5.56) and a DDM4V7s where I swapped out the barrel and BCG to 7.62x39. I also have a 16" build in 12.7x42 (Beowulf). I would like to change the trigger in the 12.7x42 to Velocity. Love them all.

New sub thanks for taking your time to show a beautiful well made weapon 👌 👌 wow fantastic 👏.

Just found your channel and subscribed. Just got my first DD MK18

🙏🏻 wish I could afford one

The government profile heats up just as quick as the lightweight correct?

Very awesome ! Can you please have the list for the stuff you added to the rifle with the details. Thank you .

Hey man!! Awesome rifle!! i was wondering if I could get a list of the upgrades, so I can set mine like yours!

good rifle but very expensive

Damn good looking m4 brother. Hoorah

Love the setup have the same gun. I might have missed it what trigger are you running?

Where did you buy it? Did you get the accessories at the same place? I live in puyallup, wa

Gonna go buy me a goat now haha. Great video! Im considering a DDm4a1 with the old school quad rail after this Coronavirus shit is over. Gonna have to start saving!

I would check those sights on that rooster in the background!!!

Sick setup man! Good video keep posting!

That’s a damn good lookin’ sweetie! Nice AR too.

Can you not change out the stock on a DDM4V7? I've watched tons of videos on this rifle and no one, NO ONE, has ever put a different stock on it. I'm new to ARs so forgive my ignorance, but are there just some things on the platform that you can't change?

I love this rifle. Question is, do you have any issues with your trigger reset? I've seen two examples of trigger reset issues when aftermarket triggers where installed. How is yours doin? Thanks

I seen your pets and rifle and subbed 100 thumbs up great show.oley is Kool as they come.

I was looking to add the Velocity mpc trigger on my ddm4 v7but was concerned that the stock trigger guard couldnt be replaced because it is a one piece grip & trigger guard. Velocity seems to recommend a replacement trigger guard to add more clearance. Did you have any issues with clearance with the mpc - flat faced with the finger catch?

Loves your setup, brother. Mine is coming in 2 to 3 weeks. Sub 👌

Curious about your Troy BUIS with your QD EXPS EOTECH... With the sights and the optic do you have a 1/3 co-witness?

Stock=Trigger aweful, death wobble, stock popoo, grip is ok. I'd buy another one.

Sweet goat bro. 🤣 ❤

Nice setup. Does your front Troy flip up lie flat? Looks like it stops short of flat against the pic.

Gucci setup, very nice

What pressure pad are you using?

Nice rig.

Dope Video I love my DDM4V7

can you link your parts in the description please?

hey man, so what's the difference from the v7 and the v7 pro? I just ordered one from my local gun shop. I told the worker I wanted the Pro, but I noticed on the receipt he put the standard v7. Is this something worth mentioning? (just charged me for standard). I'd like the 18' barrel but other than than, is there much of a difference between the two?

It's been 9 months and you haven't post a video of you shooting

Isnt the rear irons on backwards?

I’ve ran 7000+ rounds threw my V7. Never had 1 malfunction. My go to rifle! I also have the V11 SLW and also love that one. But there is just something about the V7 that I love.

Do you have a play between upper and lower receiver? That’s been the issue with one of the you tuber.

would you recommend this version with the government barrel versus the lightweight version?

I do not care whether it is the best ever. I care that it functions properly and is reliable.

The Troy battle sites, are they the micro?

oregon? Nice rifle.

What trigger is that? 3.5 pound pressure ? Thanks

Nice! I’m debating if I should buy this rifle or not...

where did you get your handguard from, and what Is the name of It ?

Damn nice rifle. Picked up the same one this morning. Went with the strike eagle 1x8 in an American defense cantilever mount but otherwise identical essentially. How’s the accuracy so far with what shooting you’ve done?

It is a beautiful weapon... How much did the entire setup cost?

Nice set up bro 👍

Links to those sight and scope please

These are the best AR s. End of story

OOOOLLLLLIIIIIEEEEEEEE

Wheres the update video

Great looking rifle man super clean no nonsense setup what would you say was the total cost of the build?

You have the 2 dot reticle ?

Cool

Damn you were doing the safety checks before Safety checks on KZfaq was a thing

So how do u like the Eotech set up I have a ddm4v5 I’m trying to de side if I want to go with that same set up or go with a 1x8

Where do you go shooting around here?

Radian safety just saying!🤯🔫🤯

Loved the video man! I’m definitely looking to get one of their rifles as soon as possible.

Best rifle ever? Sure it is top tier along with Lewis Machine and Tool, Knights Armament, BCM, H&K mr 556, LWRC, and Radian. But best...I reach for the Knight Armament.

what iron sights are those

I was looking into the bcm is this better?

What do you think about the DDM4 V7S?

That’s nice.

Noiiiice!

Why are you showing me that it’s clear? I’m not even there 😂
